Commentary

We take ἱαρο͂ν to be a genitive neuter plural. As shown in IGCyr016700², line 58, the properties of a δεκατός are common property of him and the god. It is thus conceivable that they deserve the word ἱαρός as long as the tithe has not been consecrated. This gives a better reading than the neuter singular ἱαρόν, proposed by Pugliese Carratelli and hitherto accepted, which might however be possible if both words were independant nominal sentences.
