This article presents the first ever full edition of the fragments of one of the most important documents of ancient Greek religion, the sacrificial calendar of Athens as it was inscribed on stone as part of the revision of Athenian Law in 410/9–405/4 and 403/2–400/399 BC. All these fragments, where they survive, are in Athens (the Agora and Epigraphical Museums). The edition contains many new readings, restorations and interpretative points (in particular the identification of festivals). In addition to a line-by-line commentary, a translation is included and there are explanatory notes on linguistic features, animal and non-animal items listed in the calendar and payments to priests and other officials.

This paper explores the social construction, or image, of priests and priestesses presented in inscribed decrees of the city of Athens honouring them from the fourth century BC to the Augustan period. Based on an analysis of the 28 surviving decrees of this type, texts and translations of which are presented in an Appendix, the paper seeks to address three questions: (a) What is the image of a good priest or priestess presented in these decrees and what similarities and differences are there as compared with other types of official? (b) To what extent and in what ways is a priestess constructed differently from a priest? (c) What changes are there over time in the way priests and priestesses, their qualities and services, are described, and how should we explain those changes?

This paper examines shifts in the direction of the policy of the city of Athens in the period ca. 338-323 BC from the perspective of the city's inscribed laws and decrees.
