Essentially absent in the epigraphic records of individual Boeotian poleis, civic subdivisions are attested only in a problematic passage of Pausanias the Periegete on the alleged institution of two phylai at Orchomenus during the mythical past of the city (9,34,10).

Abstract

Essentially absent in the epigraphic records of individual Boeotian poleis, civic subdivisions are attested only in a problematic passage of Pausanias the Periegete on the alleged institution of two phylai at Orchomenus during the mythical past of the city (9,34,10). This paper relates such poor evidence of civic subdivisions to the subdivi-sion into eleven districts of the first Boeotian federation (447/6-386 B.C.), as testified by a well-known page of the Oxyrhinchus Historian (Hell. Oxy. 19 Chambers). More particularly, through the analysis of the relationship between the cities of Orchomenus and Hyettos, which together made up two districts of the Boeotian federation, a new interpretation of Pausanias’ reference to the Orchomenian phylai is presented.
