Abstract

This contribution consists of two parts: the first section is dedicated to Athens, the second one to Delphi. Through the examination of some short sections of two long epigraphic texts (the stele of the Demotionidai; the cippus of the Labyadai), very well known and discussed as significant for the structure of the community «minor units», but neglected by Moderns with regard to prebends and sacrifices and their relation to the polis, the contribution focuses on the sacrificial procedures and the prebends asso-ciated with them (IG II2 1237, col. I, ll. 4-8; CID I 9, face D, ll. 29-43) in order to highlight, in this way, the relationship between individual citizens and their minor units, the minor units and the polis, and, although exam-ining different sacrificial contexts, finds various points of contact between the mechanisms operating in the two poleis.Keywords: sacrifices, prebends,
