    infbrming

    after they

    have

    (Strabo

    Hist.3.47;Aristotle,

    The

    Heniochi

    and

    probably

    the

    Soanes

    (Strabo

    11.2.

    19) gave

    rhe

    Greeks

    liv-

    ing in

    the

    city

    of

    Dioscurias

    and its

    chrtra

    a

    very

    rough

    time.

    Excavation

    of

    this

    par-t

    of colchis

    has

    yielded

    an

    exceptionally

    high

    number

    of

    weapons

    (of

    both

    Greek and local production),

    evidence

    of the hostile

    relationship

    between

    the

    Greeks

    and the Heniochi

    (voronov

    1915:

    l99l).

    These

    tribes

    used

    even

    to

    attack

    coastal

    cities

    (Plin.,

    NH

    6.

    15.

    16).

    An

    important

    indication

    comes

    from

    the bronze

    inscription

    (beginning

    of

    the

    3rd century

    BC) from

    Eshera

    (part

    of

    the

    chora

    of

    Dioscurias) (Shamba

    1980,

    5-5; Kaukhchishvili

    1985;

    vinogra-

    dov 1997,

    596-601). The

    inscription

    is

    highly

    fiagmented,

    which

    makes

    ir

    impossible

    to form

    any

    clear idea

    of

    its

    content,

    but

    the

    several

    surviving

    words

    are

    sufficient

    to

    show

    that

    this is

    some

    particularly

    imporlant

    docu-

    ment,

    such

    as a

    decree

    or historical

    chronicle,

    concemed

    with

    some

    military

    events

    (vinogradov

    1991,596-601).

    It

    is

    very

    difficult

    to

    gain

    a

    firm

    impres-

    sion

    of

    the

    events

    described

    but, if we

    take

    M.p.

    Inadze's

    speculation

    (based

    on the surviving

    words:

    "military

    fbrce

    or

    troops"; "poti's"; "Kingdom

    or

    queen";

    and

    the

    general

    historical

    situation

    in

    that

    part

    of

    the Black

    Sea)

    as

    one

    possible

    theory,

    it may

    be concluded,

    with

    our

    present

    state

    of knowledge,

    that

    "the

    Eshera

    inscription

    is

    an oflicial

    ... agreement

    concluded

    on

    the

    one

    hand

    by

    Dioscurias (Eshera)

    and on

    the other

    by

    cities

    of

    the

    Southem

    Black

    Sea

    (Herakleia)

    and the

    Pontic

    Kingdom.

    The

    reason

    fbr

    the

    people

    of Eshera

    concluding

    such

    an agreement

    would

    have

    been

    to

    safeguard

    the

    city

    [Dioscuriasl

    against

    furrher

    raids

    by

    pirate

    tribes

    with

    the

    military

    help

    of the

    above-mentioned

    authorities

    ..."

    (Inadze

    1988,

    158).

    In

    other

    words,

    the

    Greeks

    of Dioscurias

    and its

    c'hora

    (Eshera)

    were

    obliged

    to

    seek

    military

    help

    from

    outside

    colchis

    itself

    against

    the

    pirates (Heniochi

    and

    Soanesj.

    Moreover,

    in

    this

    parl

    of

    Pontus

    the

    control

    of

    piracy

    is

    usually

    considered

    to

    have

    been

    a

    prime

    function of

    the

    Roman

    garisons

    established

    along

    the

    east-

    em

    coast

    of

    the

    Black

    Sea under

    the Principate

    (Braund

    1994,

    Ij

    l-l-).

    other

    parts

    of

    the Black

    Sea

    were

    unsaf-e

    too.

    piracy

    posed

    a

    considerable

    threat

    to

    merchants,

    but,

    as

    a means

    of

    accumulating

    wealth,

    piracy

    and

    trade

    actually

    had

    a

    considerable

    amount

    in

    common.

    The

    Taurian

    tribes

    in

    the

    Crimea

    and

    the Thracians

    developed

    an

    organised

    system

    of wrecking

    ships for

    plunder

    (Diod.

    20.

    25 Xen.,

    Anab.

    1.

    5.

    12).

    So widespread

    did

    this

    beiome

    that

    the Romans

    were

    obliged

    to establish penalties

    against

    wreckers

    (ormerod

    1924,

    70- l).

    Illyrian

    pirates

    were

    another

    source

    of

    trouble

    in

    the

    Black

    Sea

    (Ormerod

    had

    been

    seeking

    to

    satisfy

    their

    own

    needs

    through

    plunder;

    this

    the

    rulers

    had

    resisted.

    In

    the

    Hellenistic

    period

    the

    narure

    or

    piricy

    graiually

    changed;

    it

    became

    more

    concerned

    with

    supprying

    the

    Medite'inean

    demand

    for

    slaves,

    and

    rulers

    startecl

    making

    arrangements

    with

    the pirates

    through

    which

    the slave trade became one

    of

    their

    sources

    of

    income.

    It

    is

    also

    essential to

    remember

    that kings

    and generals

    often

    used

    piratical

    activity

    to

    help

    finance

    their

    wars.

    This

    practice

    started

    in

    the

    5th

    century

    BC

    and

    continued

    into

    the

    Hellenistic

    period.

    For

    example,

    philip

    II

    of Micedon

    used

    the proceeds

    of

    piracy

    to

    finance

    the

    building

    of his

    nivy.

    Anorher

    way

    in

    whichpiracy

    was

    e_ncouraged

    lay

    in

    the

    custom

    of

    reprisals

    against

    on

    "nl-y

    1de

    Souza

    iggs).

    one principal

    motive

    for

    piracy

    had

    always

    been

    to

    take

    captives

    for

    sale

    into

    slavery (Garlan

    1987;

    1988).

    However,

    it is

    unlikery

    that

    rhe

    numbers

    cap-

    tured

    by

    the

    local

    people

    and

    tribes

    of

    pontus

    would

    have

    had

    a large

    impact

    upon

    the

    slave-trading

    system

    of

    the

    Greek

    world

    in

    general.

    The

    laigest

    ien_

    tres

    of

    piracy

    were

    crete

    and

    ciricia.

    The

    number

    of

    sraves

    from

    the

    Black

    Sea

    was

    small.

    Thus

    pontus

    was

    not

    a

    major

    source

    of

    slaves

    in

    the

    ancient
