Abstract
The author publishes a short business letter on a fragment of an amphora from Sinope found during excavations in the northern part of Chersonesus Taurica in 2000 (directed by S.G. Ryzhov). On the basis of some peculiarities, including orthographical ones, the letter is dated to 375-325 ВС. The text includes the noun θυλακоς («big leather bag») meaning «a container (for money)». Among the synonyms for θυλακоς there is σακτηρ (Hesych. s.v. σακτηρоς) which is, as the author argues, a parallel form to the much discussed term σακτηρ in the Chersonesian city oath dated to the 3rd с. ВС (IOSPE I2. 401,1. 24-25: τoν σακτηρα αωι σαµωι διαφυλαξω). Reconsidering earlier arguments, the author maintains that «bag» (and «money bag» in particular) being the main meaning of the word oaoxrip, in the Chersonesian oath metonym-ically denotes the polis treasury (cf. the semantic development of Gr. κιßωτoς or Lat. fiscus and area). The suggested interpretation agrees well with the contents of the respective paragraph of the oath speaking of the duties of city magistrates and members of the city council: they swore to «keep the treasury for the people».
