Third magistrate attested in Athens in 93/92 BC [issue 72]. Again attested as third magistrate in 89/88 BC [Thompson issue 74]. From Kephisia (the name is common in this deme, otherwise unknown. Habicht's assumption, ibid. p. 22 "Ephebe in 148/147 BC" seems unlikely as there would be more than 50 years between ephebeia and magistracy): See M. Thompson, The New Style Silver Coinage of Athens (1961) nos. 1052-1053, 1055 and nos. 1127, 1130 / her issues 72 and 74 (p. 578); C. Habicht, Zu den Münzmagistraten der Silberprägung des Neuen Stils, Chiron 21, 1991, pp. 6 and 22 (93/92 and 89/88 BC, his issues 72 and 76); Prosopographia Attica 11865; P. M. Fraser – E. Matthews, A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names II Attica (1994) p. 369 s. v. Pleistias, no. 4 (listed under Athens in general, no particular deme); W. Leschhorn, Lexikon der Aufschriften auf griechischen Münzen II (2009) p. 758 s. v. Pleistias.
