Abstract

The new fragment IG V 1, 1 published by A. Matthaiou and Y. Pikoulas (Ηόρος 7 [1989], p. 77-124) makes it possible to re-examine the relations of Chios with Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War. The identification of the Chian exiles who contributed to the Lacedaemonian war chest as the same ones whom the admirai Cratesippidas returned to their island in about 409 enables the inscription to be assigned to the period of the Ionian War, a context that throws much more light on various aspects of it. — Appendices : 1. The duration of the mandates of the Spartan admirals. — 2. The « missing year » in the firsl book of Xenophon's Hellenica. — 3. Eleonicos, Tissaphernes and the Thasian revolt. — 4. Passipidas' embassy.
