Edebi kaynaklar, epigrafik belgeler ve nümismatik veriler İkinci Sofistik Dönem’de MS I-III. yüzyıl sofist, retor ve filozofların mensubu oldukları aile ve aldıkları eğitim sonucunda, kamusal yükümlülükleri ait oldukları toplumsal sınıf içinde dikkat çekici şekilde başarıyla yerine getirdiklerini ve sahip oldukları parayı cömertçe kentleri için harcadıklarını göstermektedir. Bu kişiler βούλαρχος, βουλευτής, γραμματεύς, στρατηγός, ἀρχιερεύς, δᾳδοῦχος, ἱερεύς, ἱεροφάντης, νεωκόρος, νεοποιός, περιθύτης, προφήτης, ἀγορανόμος, λογιστής ve ταμίας, γυμνασίαρχος, ἐφήβαρχος, ἀγωνοθέτης, εἰρήναρχος/εἰρηνάρχης, στεφανήφορος, πρύτανις/πρυτανάρχης gibi önemli kent görevlerini üstlenmişlerdir. Ayrıca eyalet düzeyinde ἀγωνοθέτης, ἀρχιερεύς/ἀσιάρχης ve γαλατάρχης’lik gibi oldukça prestijli kamusal görevleri üstlendikleri de belgelenmektedir. Bu makalede ise İkinci Sofistik Dönem’de sofist, retor ve filozofların kentlerde üstlenmiş oldukları dini görevler ele alınmaktadır. Philostratos VS ve epigrafik belgeler aracılığıyla bu kişilerin arkhiereus, hiereus, dadoukhos, hierophantes, neokoros, neopoios, perithytes ve prophetes gibi önemli dini görevleri icra ettikleri belgelenmektedir. Bu görevleri kendi kentlerinde olduğu gibi vatandaşı oldukları diğer kentlerde de üstlenmişlerdir. Kamusal görevler üstlenmede retorların daha aktif olduğu görülmektedir; ancak dini görev üstlenen sofistlerin sayısı retorlardan daha fazladır. Filozofların ise genel olarak kamusal görev üstlenme ve imtiyazlar elde etme hususunda sofist ve retorların gerisinde kaldıkları tespit edilmektedir.
Literary sources, epigraphical documents, and numismatic evidence show that the sophists, rhetors, and philosophers that belonged to the most prominent and the wealthiest families had an excellent education and so they officiated successfully many public services and generously spent their money for the cities in the Second Sophistic Period Ist to IIIrd centuries AD . They undertook important municipal magistracies such as βούλαρχος, βουλευτής, γραμματεύς, στρατηγός, ἀρχιερεύς, δᾳδοῦχος, ἱερεύς, ἱεροφάντης, νεωκόρος, νεοποιός, περιθύτης, προφήτης, ἀγορανόμος, λογιστής ve ταμίας, γυμνασίαρχος, ἐφήβαρχος, ἀγωνοθέτης, εἰρήναρχος/εἰρηνάρχης, στεφανήφορος, πρύτανις/πρυτανάρχης. Also, it is documented that they took on quite prestigious provincial magistracies such as ἀγωνοθέτης, ἀρχιερεύς/ἀσιάρχης, and γαλα- τάρχης. In this article, religious services of sophists, rhetors, and philosophers in the Second Sophistic Period are investigated. Philostratos VS and epigraphical documents assert that these persons took on important religious duties such as arkhiereus, hiereus, dadoukhos, hierophantes, neokoros, neopoios, perithytes and prophetes. They fulfilled these tasks in their own cities as well as in other cities they became citizens. It is obvious that rhetors were more active in public tasks; but, the number of sophists who took on religious duty was more than the rhetors. On the other hand, it is determined that philosophers generally fell behind sophists and rhetors about undertaking public duties and obtaining privileges.
