ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
επί Λ. Καίσαρι Σεβαστού υ[ίώ].
Remarks: For the date see A. Spawforth, GRBS 15, 1974, 297-299.
*198. COCCE[IUS - - -]
Corinth VIII. 3, 119, pi. 11 [2nd half of the 1st c. B.C.].
Corinth, forum; fragment of a thin slab of white marble preserving a mutilated inscription:
quaesftor - - -]l et Cocce[i —].
Remarks: J. H. Kent, Corinth, loc. cit., suggests that he should be identified either with C.
Cocceius Balbus, consul suffectus in 39 B.C. (E. Groag, RE IV (1900) s.v. C
Cocceius Balbus [3]; PIR 2
C 1214 Broughton, Magistrates II, 386), who was
honoured as imperator at Athens (IG II 2
4110), or with L. Cocceius Nerva, special
envoy in Achaia in 37 B.C. (Broughton, Magistrates II, 398; E. Groag, RE IV
(1900) 5.v. L. Cocceius Nerva [12]; PIR 2
C 1223).
199. ΚΟΚΟΣ
A. N. Oikonomidis and S. N. Koumanoudis, Πολέμων 5, 1952-3, 28-30, fig. 1 (SEG 11, 1950,
153a; BullÉpigr 1954, 109); J. Bingen, RBPh 32, 1954, 507-9 (SEG 13, 1956, 228; BullÉpigr
1955, 98); W. Peek, Griechische Vers-Inschriften, I (Chicago 1955) 484 (SEG22, 1967, 223)
[3rd-4rth c. A.D.].
Corinth, near the forum; slab of marble; funerary epigram in his honour.
Remarks: Cocus is a cognomen probably of Celtic origin (Kajanto, Cognomina, 323; cf. Solin
and Salomies, 315).
200. L(UCIUS) CORANUS PATROBIUS
Corinth VIII. 3, 302, pi. 25 [early 3rd c. A.D.].
Corinth, near Cheliotomylos in a Roman chamber tomb; plaque of blue marble; funerary
dedication erected by the person for himself, his wife Grania Homonoia (COR 299), their stepchildren
Clodius Ephemus (COR 192), Clodius Granianus (COR 193), Clodia Homonoia (COR
187), and their descendants:
V. L. Coranus I Patrobius sivi I et vivis, Grania I Homonoia uxori, et Cloldio Ephemo, Clodio
Graniano, I Clodia Homonoia prilvignos posterisque I suis.
Remarks: J. H. Kent's (Corinth , loc. cit.) remark that his nomen and cognomen were given
in inverted order cannot be correct since Coranus is a gentilicium (Solin and
Salomies, 60) and Patrobius a Greek cognomen (LGPNIII. A, 356, s.v. Πατρόβιος).
Furthermore the same author rejects T. L. Shear's (ALA 35, 1931, 438) previous
identification of Coranus' stepson Clodius Granianus with the homonymous
proconsul of Achaia of 118/9 A.D. and suggests that he should be a descendant from
a freedman of the homonymous proconsul. However it is a very real question
whether Latin continued to be written in Corinth in 3rd c. A.D.
