Epigraphische Kleinarbeit. Zu Inschriften der Synagoge von Sardeis

Year 2016, Volume: Suppl. 1, 708 - 713, 31.08.2016

Abstract

The epigraphical part of the contribution deals
with three votive inscriptions (4th-6th cent.) found in the synagogue of Sardis,
they have been published several times but their reading and understanding can
be improved: No. 1 is the fragment of a verse inscription (the only one of this
group of dedications): A lady (or several ladies) offered a part of the
building “on behalf of the child­ren and the husband(s)”, the preserved rest of
the hexameter seems to be inspired by the Post­home­rica of Quintus Smyrnaeus.
No. 2 is the dedicatory inscription of a [Ma]rkell[e]inos (former read­ing: [Au]r.
Kelainos), he had given a portion of the marble revetment as ex-voto “on behalf
of his relatives and [- -]adia, his nurse” (the latter word had not been
understood from the preserved let­ters). The graffito no. 3, scratched into the
marble floor, had been understood as “Vow of Ma­pa(?)”, the first letter of the
enigmatic MAPA is in fact a Lambda. The vow had thus been made by a man called Lapâs,
a name attested elsewhere, derived from the verb laptô, “lap with the tongue,
drink greedily”, probably an allusion to a weak spot of its bearer.

Sardeis Sinagog’u Yazıtları Üzerine Kısa bir Epigrafik İnceleme

Year 2016, Volume: Suppl. 1, 708 - 713, 31.08.2016

Abstract

Makalede Sardeis Sinagog’unda bulunmuş üç adet adak
yazıtı (İ.S. 4.–6. yy.) ele alın­mak­tadır. Söz ko­nu­­su yazıtlar defalarca
yayımlanmış olsalar da bunların okunmalarında ve an­laşılmalarında bazı düzelt­me
önerilerinde bulunmak hala mümkündür. No. 1 vezinli bir yazıta ait fragmandır: Bir
(veya birden çok) kadın “çocukları ve eş(ler)i adına” bina­nın bir bölümünü
adamışlardır, metnin heksa­met­ron vez­niy­le ele geçen kısmı Quintus Smyr­naeus’tan
esinlenmiş gözükmektedir. No. 2 önceki edis­yonlarda [Au]r. Kelainos şeklinde
okunan [Ma]rkell[e]inos adında birinin adak yazıtıdır. Söz konusu kişi “akra­ba­ları
ve sütannesi [--]adia adına” kaplamaların bir bö­lü­münü adak olarak karşılamıştır.
No. 3’te tanı­tı­lan ve mermer zemin üzerine çiziktirilen grafito, yine önceki
edisyonlarda “Mapa(?)’nın adağı” şeklinde anla­şılmıştır. Bu haliyle anlamlı
bir transkrip­siyonu yapılamayan metnin ilk harfi gerçekte
Μ değil, Λ’dır. Böylece söz konusu
adağın Lapas adından biri tarafından yapıldığı anlaşılmaktadır. Bu isim, “dille
yalayarak içmek” anlamına gelen
λάπτω fiilinden türe­tilmiştir ve muhtemelen bu lakabı
taşıyan kişi­nin içkiye karşı pek de yatkın olma­dığına göndermede
bulunmaktadır.
