| Resumo: | The author revises the conclusions reached in EMERITA 24, 1956, pp. 353-415 on the E series of Pylos. After a careful study of the newly published tablets and the most recente bibliography on the subject, some aspects of these conclusions are corrected and another new points are elucidated, but the chief interpretations of the former article are corrobarated. The tablets of the E series register some remunerations consisting of the annual distribution of lands which the king, the δαμοσ and possibly the λαφαγετασ gave to various priests and officers. The origin of this system is found in the retributions made to the members of the «king's household», entrusted with the palace's cut but who also held civic offices; then the royal cult became a public one, also being paid for by the δαμοσ; later still, the local or gentilitious cult of the ka-ma-e-we became also a public affair. The model for forming a centralized burocrazy, kept up by these annual distributions of land, was taken from this. All thus proves the centralization reached by the Mycenaean monarchy, and also, the importance of the δαμοσ therein. Some traces of this state of affairs have remained in later times. Finally the author makes a few hypotheses as to the private lands owned by the Mycenaean citizens. These lands are not registered in the tablets |
