ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
Appaleni, where the praenomina Marcus and Tiberius are used. Maybe he is the son
or more probably the grandson of the hellanodikes Ti. Appalenus Anaxilaus attested
in a Corinthian list of officials and victors in Caesaria Isthmia games (Corinth VIII.
3, 223, cf. COR 80). So Spawforth completes also the father's name after the
gentlicium of the person.
About λογιστής or curator see remarks of ARG 49. About the gentilicium, which is
otherwise attested only in Barium in Apulia, see Spawforth, op. cit., 303, n. 45; id.,
"Roman Corinth: the Formation of a Colonial Elite", in: Roman onomastics, ill
and n. 24.

IGNI, 369 A 1. 8 [immediately after A.D. 212].
Kleitor; a limestone plaque bearing a list of names (ephebes [?]). The part Β is now built into
the church of Hagios Athanasios, near the village Filia (Leucasia).
Remarks: In the IG publication the name is [—]ρηδ. Σεκοϋνδο[ς]. However it is also possible
that it is to be completed as [Ά]τήδ(ιος). For the gentilicium Aredius see Solin and
Salomies, 21. Y. Pikoulas, Archaiognosia 1, 1981, 107-113 reexamined and
republished part Β of the inscription (SEG 31, 1981, 347; Cf. BullÉpigr 1987, 619);
id., Hows 3, 1985, 87-88, where he publishes a new independent fragment of the
inscription IG VI, 369 Β (SEG 35, 1985, 350; cf. BullÉpigr 1988, 623).
10. T(ITUS) ARM[INIUS] TAURISCUS /[Τ(ΙΤΟΣ) ΑΡΜΙΝΙΟΣ ΤΑΥ]ΡΙΣΚΟΣ
IG VI, 456=C7L III 1, 496 (CIL III 1 Suppl. 7250; Ill 2 Suppl. 13691) [Augustan].
Megalopolis, "ad unum de pontibus AlpheV, immo Helissontis" (IG); bilingual inscription
recording his financing the erection of a bridge over the river Alpheios in return for the
permission for the lifelong "έπινόμιον" and "βαλάνων (?)..." which he acquired from the town
κατά τό δόγμα των συνέδρων, i.e. after the decision of the boule:
[Imp. Caesa]ri Aug. et civitati ita [iubente] I [senat]u ut promisserat T. Arm[i]l[niu]s Tauriscus
pontem fecit. I
[Αύτοκρ]άτορι Καίσαρι και τή πόλει [Τ. Άρμίνι]Ι[ος Ταυ]ρίσκος έπόησε τήν γέφυραν,
καθώς [έπηγ]Ι[γείλατο κ]ατά το δόγμα των συνέδρων, εφ' ω[τε] Ι [λήψεσθ]αι αυτόν τό έπι­
νόμιον και βαλάνω [—] Ι [όσων] έχει θρεμμάτων διά βίου.
Roman resident
Remarks: Tauriscus was probably a Roman landowner or his inspector. About the meaning of
the permission he acquired and his activity in Arcadia see U. Kahrstedt, Das
wirtschaftliche Gesicht Griechenlands in der Kaiserzeit (Bern 1954) 138 (SEG 15,1958,
233); more about his name and his possible origin from the region of Taurisci south of
Alps, see S. Zoumbaki, "Die Niederlassung römischer Geschäftsleute in der
Peloponneso ΤΕΚΜΗΡΙΑ 4, 1998/9, 123-124.
