Abstract

A proxeny decree found in the temple of Pherai (SEG 23, 418), dating to the late fifth/middle of the fourth century BC, has a wording paralleling with a fifth-century Athenian proxeny decree, IG I2 174 (IG I2 93). The Proxeny and related honors had been awarded not simply within the confines of the polis of Pherai, but beyond the physical limits of the city. The Pheraians, like the Athenians before them, exercised some form of political hegemony over territories which lay beyond the formal borders of their polis.
