Epigraphic Research around Juliopolis II: New Inscriptions from Nallıhan
Abstract
This paper presents 2 dedication and 12 funerary inscriptions from Nallıhan and its territory. No. 1 is a dedication to Men Matrios?, erected by Trophimas. The epithet Matrios is probably wrong writing instead of Patrios, a common epithet of Men. No. 2 is a dedication to Dionysos Kallikarpos by Ariobarzanes, which has been previously published by Mitchell. No. 3 is a grav stone for Antoninus, who was described neaniskos, the term refers to elite youth in classical Greek and the member of a youth organization patrolling the countryside in Roman period. No. 4 is a grave stone for rhetor Publius Aelius Valens, erected by his parents Philemon and Amme, no. 5 is for Anne, daughter of Korratas. No. 6 is a grave stone, erected by Dias for his wife Mame and no. 7 by Claudianus Phaidon (?) for his son Claudianus and his wife. No. 8 is a funerary stele, erected by Publius Claudius Aurelianus Philagros for his mother Lykomedis, the name Lykomedis has previously not been attested. No. 9 is a grave stone for Orpheus erected by his parents Dionysos and Regina. No. 10 is a plinth, mentioning Klotho, one of the Moirai. Top part of the plinth, probably the names of the deceased were written on it, is missing. No. 11 is an epitaph of the wife of Quintus and no. 12 is of Avidius?/Avidianus?. No. 13 and no. 14 are fragmentary inscriptions. No. 13 is erected by the son for his parents. No. 14 is probably a grave stone for Philemon son of Philemon.
