Excerpt from Ancient Ships

The best of the written evidence comes from inscriptions. In digging the foundations for a building at the Peiraeus in 1834, the workmen came upon a Roman or Byzantine drain; and found that it was lined with slabs of marble covered with inscriptions. These were some of the inventories of the Athenian dockyards, and a few others have come to light since then, the earliest of them dating from 37 3 and the latest from 323 bc. Or thereabouts. Unhappily, these inscriptions are shattered and defaced in many places; but where the reading is clear, their testimony is conclusive.
