[69\5: The ~mnê=ma koino\n pa=si toi=s apo\ Bouse/lou genome/nois~ was a ~polu\s to/pos peribeblême/nos, hô/sper hoi archai=oi eno/mizon~: D. 43, 79. The Bouselidai composed not a ~ge/nos~, but a group of five ~oi=koi~ bound together by definitely traceable ties of kinship. The members of a ~ge/nos~ in its political sense no longer held graves in common possession: see Meier, _de gentil. Att._ 33; Dittenb., _Hermes_, 20, 4. The ~Kimô/neia {194} mnê/mata~ were also family-graves: Plu., _Cim._ 4, Marcellin. _V. Th._ 17, Plu., _X Or._, p. 838 B. It was always insisted on, for obvious reasons, that no stranger to the family should be laid in the family grave. But just as the penal clauses so often inscribed on graves of a later period were necessary to prevent the burial of strangers in those graves, so too Solon had to make a law in respect of graves ne quis alienum inferat: Cic., _Lg._ ii, 64.] [70\5: The speaker in Dem. 55, 13 ff., mentions the ~palaia\ mnê/mata~ of the ~pro/gonoi~ of the earlier possessors of his ~chôri/on~ (country-estate). This custom of burying the family dead in the private ground of the family ~kai\ toi=s a/llois chôri/ois sumbe/bêke~. Timarchos is asked by his mother ~to\ Alôpe/kê|si chôri/on~ (which lay 11 or 12 stades away from the city walls) ~_entaphê=nai_ hupolipei=n autê=|~ (in spite of which he sold it): Aeschin., _Tim._ 99. Examples in East Attica of walled-in family cemeteries with room for many graves: Belger, _Localsage von den Gräbern Agamem._, etc. (Progr. Berl. 1893), pp. 40-2. It was thus the very general custom to keep the family graves on their own ground and soil; and this corresponds closely enough with the oldest custom of all, that of burying the master of the house in his own home.--In Plu., _Arist._ 1, Demetr. Phal. mentions an ~Aristei/dou chôri/on en hô=| te/thaptai~ in Phaleron.] [71\5: Restriction of the growing magnificence of grave columns in Athens made by Demetr. Phal., Cic., _Lg._ ii, 66. (Penal clauses ~ei/ ti/s ka tha/[ptê| ê\ epi/]stama ephista=| ktl.~ in a law from Nisyros [_Berl. Phil. Woch._ 1896, pp. 190, 420]: they probably do not refer to a general prohibition of tombstones altogether.)] [72\5: Cf. Curtius, _Z. Ges. Wegebaus Gr._, p. 262.] [73\5: Nemora aptabant sepulcris ut in amoenitate animae forent post vitam: Serv., _A._ v, 760. In lucis habitabant manes piorum: iii, 302; cf. ad i, 441; vi, 673. "My grave is in a grove, the pleasant haunt of birds," says a dead man ~o/phra kai\ ein A/ïdi terpno\n e/choimi to/pon~, _Epigr. Gr._ 546, 5-14.] [74\5: Cf. the ins. from Keos, _SIG._ 877, 8-9.
