Decree of Aristoteles
The Decree of Aristoteles was a decree passed by the Athenian Assembly in February or March 377 BC.[1] The decree is preserved as the inscription on a stele; this is the most important epigraphical source for the Second Athenian Confederacy.[2] The decree, often known as the "Charter of the Second Athenian Confederacy", formalised earlier Athenian diplomacy inviting states to join Athens and her allies in a permanent alliance.[1] The inscription of the decree was first published in 1852,[3] and it has received much attention from scholars since then.[2]
