Document Summary
Ilisson and eridanos become one river that is a tributary of the kephisos river that pours into the harbour. In his collection of rivers, kallimachos says that it makes him laugh if anyone makes bold to write that the athenian maidens draw pure liquid from the eridanos from which even cattle would hold aloof . Shows that the eridanos was very polluted. From the eastern slopes of the acropolis. Refers to the area along the ilissos river. This decree has to be transcribed on a block of stone and has to be placed on both sides. It is not allowed to put the hides to rot in the ilissos upstream of the temple of heracles nor practice tanning or throw the waste of leather processing into the river . The temple of heracles is used to better define the area to which this decree is refers. By hera, it is a charming resting place.
