N1 - Funding Information:
The inscriptions presented here (with the exception of 3; see n. 2, below) were discovered in the course of excavations at Panakton begun in 1991 under the auspices of Angeliki And- reiomenou, then director of the Ninth Ephoreia of Prehistoric and Classi cal Antiquities (now the Ephorate of Antiquities of Boiotia), with the coop eration and support of Vassilis Aravan-tinos, and continued in 1992 with the cooperation of Charis Koilakou of the First Ephoreia of Byzantine Antiquities (now the Ephorate of Antiquities of the City of Athens). I am grateful to these individuals for making the first excavations at Panakton possible. Preliminary reports of the findings of these excavations were published in Boeotia Antiqua (Munn 1996). A full account of the late medieval remains that represent most of the surface features visible at Panakton was published later in Hes-peria (Gerstel et al. 2003). A full report of the prehistoric, Classical, and Hellenistic findings from these first excavations is in preparation. Excavations were carried out under the co-direction of myself and Vassilis Aravantinos and with the assistance of Sharon Gerstel, Mary Lou Zimmerman Munn, Patrick Thomas, and Carl Lipo. Funding for the survey and the excavations was provided by the Tressider Fund of Stanford University, by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, by the generosity

N2 - Six inscriptions of the 4th and 3rd centuries b.c. recovered during surface survey and excavation at Panakton (the paleokastro above Prasino/Kavasala) are published here in full, four of them for the first time. The earliest, an arsenal inventory, preserves an archon date of 343/2 b.c.; three are ephebic texts of the Lykourgan era; one is a dedication by soldiers of the garrison in the second half of the 3rd century; one is a fragmentary heading. These inscriptions, the first found on this site, prove beyond doubt that this was the Athenian fortress of Panakton, and they provide new evidence for armaments, the ephebeia, and the history of Panakton among Attic garrison forts.
