%0 Journal Article %T The trust fund of Phaenia Aromation (IG V.1 1208) and imperial Gytheion %A Harter-Uibopuu %A Kaja %J Studia Humaniora Tartuensia %D 2004 %I %X In the small town of Gytheion in southern Laconia two marble blocks were found, containing the regulations for a trust fund from the year 42 AD (IG V,1 1208; SEG 13,258). The text will be presented with new emendations and an English translation. In my commentary I present the general background of the donor, Phaenia Aromation, and concentrate on a discussion of the juridical problems that the text poses. A detailed analysis of the procedural prescriptions forms the centre of this paper. %K Ancient history %K inscriptions %K Greek %K Laconia %K Gytheion %K Ancient Greek law %U http://www.ut.ee/klassik/sht/2004/harter-uibopuu1.pdf
