318-320 ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
at his own expense with the official permission of the city council when he was aedile: [- - -]GR
[- - -]l Hicesius I aed. d. s. p. f. d. d.
Remarks: The Greek name Hicesius is known in Corinth (see LGPN III.A, 218, s. v. Τκέσιος);
here it is a cognomen.
*318. (C. LUCILIUS) HIRRUS
L. Ross-Taylor and A. B. West, ASA 32, 1928, 9-22 (AnnÉpigr 1928, 5); * Corinth VIII. 2, 1;
see S. Dow, "Corinthiaca", HSCPh 60, 1951, 81-100, with the previous publications and
bibliography [4th decade B.C., before 31 B.C.].
Corinth, forum; limestone block preserving a Latin epigram in his honour.
Remarks: His full name is C. Lucilius Hirrus (Broughton, Magistrates I, 569 and 573). He was
legatus pro praetore under Marcus Antonius (COR 46), the grandfather of M.
Antony, in the war against the pirates of Cicilia (102-101 B.C.). The epigram, in
elegiac metre, commemorates the transferring of his fleet across the Isthmus during
this campaign. Hirrus was probably an ancestor of the homonymous C. Lucilius
Hirrus, who supported Pompey in 53 B.C. (A. B. West, Corinth VIII. 2, 1;
Broughton, Magistrates II, 228-229). Although this identification seems probable,
some others proposed previously by Taylor and West, loc. cit. are not to be
excluded. For the date of the inscription see Marcus Antonius (COR 46).
