sibility of the μισθούμενος for the assumed obligation in the way of a real contract. Πιττάκιον, however, represents a group of per-sons for the joint management of a public land assigned to them; Πιττακιάρχης is the foreman who has probably the control over them.
F. S o k o ł o w s k i , Partnership in the Lease of Cults in Greek Anti-quity (Harv. Theol. Rev. vol. L, No. 2 [1957] 133—143). In this interesting paper the author deals with the partnership in the lease of priesthoods in the Greek antiquity and shows, on the basis of the papyri, that such a partnership is well attested also in Egypt in Ptolemaic and Roman times. He remarks that it was not limited to priesthoods, but that in the same way the lea-ses of temples, shrines, altars and other small cult revenues could be shared.
F. G r y g l e w i c z , La valeur morale du travail manuel dans la ter-minologie grecque de la Bible (Biblica 37 [1956] 314—337). From all published studies about trade one can see that the Authors of the Old Testament highly respected the trade and that many persons appearing in the Bible follow a trade, displaying no sense of humiliation. Also the New Testament contains many favour-able opinions on trade. For a lawyer are of remarkfavour-able importance the notices determining the various kinds of trade such as δου-λεύειν (p. 322), λειτουργεί ν (p. 323) and έργάζεσθαι (p. 324). The author makes also considerable use of the papyri (p. 330).
