Temple Estates

The estates are thoroughly discussed in John Harvey Kent, "The Temple Estates of Delos, Rheneia, and Mykonos," Hesperia 17 (1948): 243–338, with the many new readings and restorations in id., "Notes on the Delian Farm Accounts," BCH 63 (1939): 232–45, and Brunet, passim.

The estates are ordered below alphabetically, sorted by the island on which they were located: Delos, Rheneia, and Mykonos. The ordering implies no acceptance of any theories about the location of the estates on each island; see the response of Jacques Tréheux, BCH 110 (1986): 427–32, to the views of M.-Th. Couilloud-Le Dinahet in Les Cyclades, 135–41.

As with goods, I have established the index for the calculation of indexed rents with the year 250 B.C. as the base. The figure I use as a base figure, however, is not the rent paid in 250 B.C. but the rent bid in 250 B.C. for the next rental period (the rent dated below as "249pro"). I use this because the rent actually paid in 250 B.C. represents the amount bid for the estates ten years earlier, in 260 B.C. All citations are from IG XI 2 or ID. The abbreviation "s." in the tables stands for "son of." In some cases in the commentaries I have discussed inscriptions not included in the tables for the sake of completeness.
