ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN CORINTHIA
72-73
Corinth; triangular pedestal of white marble, inscribed on all three sides; list of magistrates and
victors in the Caesarea Isthmia games; he was έλληνοδίκης of the games.

[1] Corinth VIII. 3, 170,1. 1-2, pl. 16 [A.D. 117-125].
Corinth, fifteen fragments from a slab of white marble; Latin inscription on the Peirene
fountain probably recording the names of the donors of the marble revetments; Antonius
Sospis, whose cursus honorum (11. 2-7) is explicitly given, seems to be the most important:

[2] Corinth VIII. 3, 226,1.4 pl. 21; E. Kapetanopoulos, Mnemosyne 22, 1969, 80-82, stemma
[under Antoninus Pius].
Corinth, forum; twenty-two fragments of a pedestal of white marble with dark gray veins;
Greek inscription in honour of his grandson Π. Αϊλιος Σώσπις (COR 18, text) erected by
decree of the city council; here Antonius Sospis was evoked agonothetes three times:
Άν[τω]νίου Σώσπιδος Ι το[υ] τρις αγωνοθέτου.
Remarks: He was of Corinthian origin and his gentilicium shows that his Roman civitas was
given by the triumvir Marc Antony. For a probable connection with the Athenian
family of Leonidas of Melite, into which the name Sospis also occurs, see
Kapetanopoulos, loc. cit.. The person is not included in Halfmann, Senatoren.
For the post of agonothetes in Roman Corinth, see D. J. Geagan, GRBS 9, 1968,
69-76.
s. of Antonia Sedata (COR 34); f. of Antonia Sosipatra (COR 35); f.-in-law of P. Aelius
Apollodotus (COR 13); grandi, of P. Aelius Sospis (COR 18)
73. [(?) ΑΝΤ]ΩΝΙΟΣ ΣΤΑΚΤΗ[- - -]
Corinth Vili. 3, 273, pis 23, 63 [2nd quarter of the 3rd c. A.D. (letter forms)].
Corinth, forum; four fragments of a white marble slab; probably an honorary inscription
erected by decree of the city council preserving parts of the names of two individuals elected
by lot for a religious (?) function:
[—]λϊννον I [—]μων διθυραμ[β — Κ]ορινθ[— κ]ληρούντων I [(?) Α.ντ]ωνίου Στακτ[η
— Σε]ρβιλίου Ομ[... ]υ Ι [ψ.] vac. β.
Remarks: The last letters could be a ligatura of TH. Cf. COR 567.
