Note 208 — Chapter II · Athens

Ath. Mitt. 1910, p. 309. The single tombstone of “Aeschines of Semachidai, the son of Pamphilus” (C.I.A. II. 2534), found at Brahami, three and a half kilometres South of the Acropolis, is probably to be classed with ibid. 2535–9 as belonging to a Semachid who died at Athens. So too with the fragment ΙΑΧΙΔΟΥ C.I.A. III. 3897, found at Alopeke, the modern Ampelokipi, one of the Eastern terminuses of the Athenian tramways. Demesmen seem to have been generally buried either in Athens or in the deme to which they belonged. The ordinary Attic word for travel, ἀποδημεῖν (lit. “to quit one’s deme”), seems to have been still appropriate even in the fourth century.
