This history of ancient diplomacy demonstrates how the ancient Greeks used guest-friendship as a mechanism of diplomacy. Ancient proxenoi were the equivalent of contemporary consul-generals and they served some of the same purposes. The proxenoi conducted the diplomatic affairs of the state they represented and looked after the interests of the city-state that had adopted them. In times of war the proxenoi maintained spies and supplied intelligence on the movements of fleets and armies.

Although writing a book is a solitary experience it does require the assistance of researchers and colleagues. I am very grateful to Delia Visscher and Kathy Olenski for their editorial work and the research performed by Jovana Andjelkovic. I am also thankful to Lauren Gilbert for her administrative support and in bringing this project to fruition. I would like to thank Eric Kuntzman for his dedication and guidance, as well as Aali Mirjat for organizing the manuscript. As always, I am grateful to my wife Beverley for her unwavering encouragement in my projects. Finally, I would like to thank the faculty and staff at the Stavros S. Niarchos Foundation Centre for Hellenic Studies at Simon Fraser University.

The publication of IGi3 came after the completion of this study and thus too late for inclusion but an attempt is made below to compensate for this omission with some commentary on emendations to the texts of IG edition minor cited here.

IGi2.10 = IGi3.14:

extensive emendations and revisions which do not affect the short passage (lines 13-14) discussed in this study

IGi2 .27 = IGi3.27:

according to the reconstruction between lines 13-21, a harm clause was included in the decree

IGi2.28a = IGi3 .19:

although there are major reconstructions to much of the text the presence of a harm clause as referred to in this study is still retained

IGi2.55 = IGi3 .55:

extensive emendations between lines 12-17 and 22-24, which fill out the terms of the harm clause(s)

IGi2.56 = IGi3 .156:

no changes

IGi2.57 = IGi3 .61:

very minor emendations to lines 10-15, word altered in line 49, major reconstruction to lines 58-62 (beginning of a new decree)

IGi2.59 = IGi3 .65

line 9, word changed from praise to inscribe, minor alterations to verb form in line 22

IGi2.66 = IGi3 .34:

the new version is so extensively revised as to be virtually a different text but the reference to episkopoi (line 7) remains

IGIi2.72= IGi3 .162:

line 4, the word Illyrioi is removed; line 5 euergesia is added; line 8 the words polin and stratian are removed and line 15 is partially reconstructed

IGi2.105 = IGi3.117:

line 3, name changed from Theopompos to Antigenes; line 4 the name of Alkibiades is added; the name of Perikles is reconstructed in line 6

IGi2.106 = IGi3.106:

line 2, name changed to Mandrobolos from Aristobolos, enktesis and ateleia removed from line 7

IGi2.116 = IGi3 .118:

line 12, five words removed; line 14, four words removed; line 16, four words removed; line 17, three words removed; line 18, four words removed; line 28, the name of Apollo is removed (none of these concern the actual decree of proxenia)

IGi2.118 = IGi3 .110:

no changes

IGi2.146 = IGi3 .181:

lines 1-2, the last five letters of the name of the proxenos have been removed as well as the last five letters from the name of the region; line 5, the place name and the name of the proxenos have been removed

IGi2.149 = IGi3 .167:

lines 1-10, major revisions (introductory formula and preliminary honours)

IGi2.152 & 154 = IGi3 .164:

several reconstructions and emendations throughout the second part (=IGi2 .154) which do not affect the existence of a harm clause

IGi2.1034:

not included in IGi3

IGii2.27 = IGi3 .92:

no changes except for an earlier date

IGii2.32 = IGi3 .228:

no changes except for an earlier date

IGii2.48 = IGi3 .107:

IGi2. 106a: the inclusion of this decree in IGi3 with the date c. 409 B.C. shows a preference for the earlier date suggested by Wilhelm and followed in IGi2 rather than the later one by Kirchner in IGii2
