ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ARGOLIS
21-23
Argolis, Merbaka (modern Hagia Trias), built into the southern wall of the church; funerary
stele decorated with a pediment and a relief dipicting a standing couple.
Remarks: P. Wolters, "Cyriacus in Mykene und am Taenaron", MDAI (A) 40, 1915, 97 notes
that the inscriptions IG IV 538 and 641 are joining fragments. Fourmont:
..ΟΣΑΝΤΩΝΙΟΣ...Ι ..ΟΣΜΟΣ; Le Bas-Foucart, Voyage II, no. 135: Μάνιος
[Μεμ]ίνιος (?) ....νος (according to a copy of Landron) noting that the reading
ΑΝΕΑΛΙΝΙΟΣ in Landron 's copy cannot be accepted. In IG the name appears as
ANT ΑΛΙΜΟΣ. There is no mention of the cognomen in the catalogue of Solin and
Salomies. After checking the stone, it is certain that the gentilicium is to be read as
ΑΝΤΩΝΙΟΣ.
21. ΑΠΙΩΝ ΜΑΪΟΡΟΣ
For the person see Mitsos, 29 (ΑΝΤΑΛΙΝΙΟΣ).
IG IV 1328; IG IV 2 1, 567 [2nd c. A.D.].
Epidauros, sanctuary; an altar dedicated to Tyche by Apio, who was a slave of Iulius Maior
Antoninus (ARG 149): Απίων Ι Μαΐορος Ι Τύχηι.
Slave
22. Π(ΟΠΛΙΟΣ ?) ΑΤΙΑΙΑΝΟΣ
IG IV 1286; IG IV 2 1, 516; Peek 1969, 104-5, no. 210 (SEG 37, 1987, 297) [2nd c. A.D.: from
the style of the letters, see remarks].
Epidauros, sanctuary; the upper block of a large basis used three times (for the previous uses
see IG IV 2 1, 489 and Peek, loc. cit., 105, Taf. XLII, Abb. 69). The person discussed here
dedicated a statue to Zeus Budiates, Artemis Sotera and Asclepius Soter during the priesthood
of Gennadius:
Διί Βουδιάτη [κ'] Αρτέμιδι Ι Σωτείρη κ' Ι Άσκληπιώ Ι Σωτήρι Π(όπλιος ?) Ατιλιανός
ίκέΙτης κατ' οναρ Ι έπ' ιερέως Ι Γενναδίου.
Remarks: Peek, after examining the stone, observes that ΒΟΥΔΙΑΡΗ is more likely than
ΒΟΥΔΙΑΤΗ. The number NZ at the end of the text could be the date of the
monument according to the Hadrianic era (=A.D. 181). Completing the Π. of the
name as Π(όπλιος), as it is suggested by the editors, is not certain, since here a
gentilicium would be expected.
Α[Υ](ΑΟΣ) ΑΠΟΛΑΩΝΙΔΗΣ: see Αυρήλιος Άπολλωνίδης (ARG 38)
23. ΑΥΑΟΣ
W. Vollgraff, BCH 33, 1909, 458, no. 24, with a photo on p. 459 (W. Vollgraff, Mnemosyne
58, 1930, 38; W. Peek, MDAI (A) 57, 1932, 55 [SEG 11, 1950, 344]) [2nd/lst c. B.C.].
