With 1341 numbers, unevenly distributed between 202/1 BC and the end of the 1st century AD, the delphic manumissions constitute the best represented epigraphical series of the Pythian sanctuary. It is the basis for most of the chronology of Delphi and Central Greece for the period under consideration. The thousands of people mentioned, from Delphi or neighbouring cities, and the many clauses of the contracts between the master and his former slave offer opportunities to write the socio-economic history of Greece that are not found anywhere else. A completely new edition of this vast documentary collection is proposed, accompanied for a number of texts by a full or partial translation and, if necessary, a more or less detailed commentary. This volume contains the first 722 issues, which correspond to priests I to IX of G. Daux’s Chronologie delphique, i.e. the period from 202/201 to ca 125 BC.
