In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

1. See my discussion of his career, ADT 158–159. 2. C. Lawton, Attic Document Reliefs: Art and Politics in Ancient Athens (Oxford 1995) 109–110 no. 59. 3. There is a vacat of three letter-spaces after the ¶dojen-clause in line 4 of Agora I 5760 (Hesperia 30 [1961] 258; Agora XVI no. 205). This is unique in his work, as is the apparent use in this inscription of the perfect design. Addenda to the Cutter of IG II2 650 Dates: 318/7–283/2 See ADT 154 –159 for a description of this cutter’s lettering, a photograph, and a list of inscriptions.

With the assignment of IG II2 500 to this hand we now have one inscription by the II2 650 Cutter securely dated to the years 307 to 302.

His completed inscriptions , some of them, will have been large, impressive monuments, as for example IG II2 646 with its added relief2 and II2 649. Only two of his surviving inscriptions are not stoichedon, IG II2 659 and 753. Even in these, he never achieved complete syllabification, though he does approximate it in IG II2 659 by leaving some vacant spaces at line-end. He does not use blank spaces in this way in any other case; indeed he did not normally leave blank spaces.3 Very occasionally he crowds iota into a stoichos with another letter. 49 ...
