141-142 ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
The chronology of the inscription suggested by Peek is also based on that
identification.
141. Μ(ΑΡΚΟΣ) ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ ΑΠΕΛΛΑΣ
IG IV 955; IG IV 2 1, 126 (J. & L. Edelstein, Asclepius I [Baltimore 1945] 247-8, no. 432 and
294, no. 519 [cf. SEG 11, 1950, 426]; V. Longo, Aretalogie nel mondo greco I. Pubblicazioni
dell'Instituto di Filologia classica dell'Università di Genova 29 [1969] 86-89, no. 56 [cf. SEG
25, 1971, 412; BullÉpigr 1973, 194 and 413]) [ca. after mid. 2nd e. A.D.].
Epidauros, sanctuary; a stele bearing an ϊασις decorated with acroterium. P. Aelius Antiochus
is the priest, while M. Iulius Apellas is the healed person.
Ίδριεύς Μυλασεύς (from Idrias, Mylasa)
Remarks: For the meaning of άκοαί (cf. 1. 10: προς ταΐς άκοαΐς έν βαλανείω..., 1. 18:...κατά
τάς άκοάς έκ τοΰ άβατου...) see J. Zingerle, "ΑΚΟΑΙ", ARW27, 1923, 53-6. The
person is also known from a fragmentary decree of Mylasa concerning the
preservation of order in the shrine (2nd c. A.D.), see J. Crampa, Labraunda. Swedish
excavations and researches III. 2, The Greek inscriptions, Part 2, no. 58. He is also
attested in an Athenian inscription (IG II 2 2959), in which he is refered to as an
archon of the demos of Marathon in Attica; according to this text his father was M.
Iulius Damianus (cf. Follet, Athènes , 257, η. 12, there may be some relationship
between Iulius [Heracleides], son of Iulius Secundus and Iulius Apellas); see also M.
Woloch, Roman citizenship and the Athenian elite A.D. 96-161. Two
prosopographical catalogues (Amsterdam 1973) 140-141, no. 7. For Apellas see also
S.G. Byrne-M.J. Osborne, The foreign residents of Athens: an annex to the Lexicon
of Greek Personal Names: Attica (Leuven 1996) 241, no. 5753, where the
gentilicium of the person appears as Iunius.
