bibliography            

Horos slab (40 x 18.5 x 8 cm). The "Pot-sharers" (in the new reading) are evidently an ongoing group or guild of some sort, perhaps engaged in the food industry.

Marker (horos) of a house sold on condition of release by the Pot-sharers (Homochytroi) who are gathered around Gnathios from Aphidna subdivision for a loan of 100 drachmas (?) when Eumelides was civic leader (archōn).
