AB - Footnotes 1 See above, Chapter 3, pp. 16–19. 2 See above, Chapter 1, pp. 1–2. 3 For a recent attempt to point up the importance of non-landed economic activity, using a different approach from that adopted in this study see now Mattingly and Salmon (forthcoming). 4 But the study does suggest some features which any comprehensive study of the cash economy of Athens would have to take into account: most notably, the failure of group lenders to circulate larger sums than individual lenders; the failure of the wealthy (with the exception of silver mine lessees) to spend more than the apparently less well-off; and the priority given to the spending of cash, however acquired, on the funding of cult-related activity, thus restricting its range of circulation in the economy. 5 Cf. the perceptive comments of John Davies (1998) 241. 6 There is clear evidence from public land leases outside the bulk records we have been examining that individuals took on leases as a form of liturgy, while public bodies such as demes allocated leases in perpetuity to the families of men who had provided generous public service. See too Osborne (1988) 287–92. 7 See above, pp. 2–5. 8 Osborne (1985A) ch. 2. 9 See above, p. 1. 10 At the same time this book has demonstrated the value of coinage as an analytical tool for the economic historian. A much wider demonstration, covering a broad spectrum of coin-using activity over a wide timescale in the Greek world appears shortly in Meadows and Shipton (forthcoming).
