Aelii of Athens who had the office of archon
eponymos. Individuals marked with ID number from Byrne and from Woloch. None
are known to be equites Romani.
The three highest state offices are the archon
eponymos, the strategos (hoplite general) and the herald of the areopagos,
all annual offices.
The three highest religious officer were the
imperial high priest (archiereus), the hierophantos (the chief priest at the
Eleusinian Mysteries) and the dadouchos
(the title of the second priest of the
Eleusinian Mysteries). For women the three major religious offices were the
priestess of Athena, the priestess of Demeter and Core
and the hierofantide.
In general I have followed the dating of
Byrne, but the archon lists can vary.
