Abstract
Yu. G. Vinogradov, U. S. S. R. epigraphist, joined the Berezan arch-aeological expedition in 1970, and found one of the most ancient Greek letter of a private hand. It is inscribed on the lead tablet and rolled up in scroll. In this paper he has tried palaeographic, linguistic and archaeological analysis on the tablet and assigned it to the second half of the sixth century B. C. This tablet is very interesting from the point of the ancient Greek slavery as well as the ancient law of property.
This present paper is trying to introduce the above paper of Vino-gradov in detail as possible as I can. The archaeological study on the North Black Sea coast is being done only by the hands of U. S. S. R. scholars and made a great deal of remarkable results, which are giving great influences on the academic world of Greek and Roman history in general.
