ROMAN PELOPONNESE I 75. ΑΥΡ(ΗΔΙΟΣ) ΕΥΚΑΡΠΙΔΗΣ Κ. Pittakis, ΑΕ 1851, 1419-1420, no. 2868; R. Fleischer, JÖAI 46, 1961-63, 83-87, fig. 54a, facsimile fig. 54b (SEG22, 1967, 330) [3rd c. A.D.]. Elis; a marble grave stele bearing a relief which represents a standing woman in chiton and himatium. The inscription is written on the architrave and on the field of the relief. Aurelius Eucarpides is the father of the deceased (text EL 61). Athenian Remarks: The name Eucarpides is very common in the Athenian family of Berenikeidae, who also bear the Roman gentilicium Aurelius. For a list of the known members of the family see E. Kapetanopoulos, AE 1974, Chron. 3-4. f. Aurelia Zosime (EL 61) 76. [ΜΑΡ(ΚΟΣ)] ΑΥΡ(ΗΑΙΟΣ) ΕΥΚΑΡΠΙΔΗΣ ΖΩΠΥΡΟ[Υ] J. Ebert, Nikephoros 7, 1994, 240-241, pi. 10 (p. 332) (SEGA5, 1995, 412 citing also a number of brief reports of the texts in several journals); id., Nikephoros 10, 1997, 217-233, esp. 229- 232, facsimile (p. 219) [A.D. 381]. Olympia, area of the so-called "Südwestbau", in a drainage canal; a bronze plaque bearing names of Olympic victors and athletes of different times: [Μάρ(κος)] Αύρ(ήλιος) Εύκαρπίδης Ζωπύρο[υ] Ι [Άθηνα]Ιος νικώ παίδων πανκράτιον Ι [έ]πί Όλ. oq'. Athenian Olympic victor in παίδιον πανκράτιον Remarks: The completion of the praenomen Μαρ(κος), as well as in the next inscription (see EL 94), [Μάρ(κος) Α]ύρ(ήλιος) Ζώπυρος, is based on the appearance of this abbreviation instead of Μ(άρκος) in several other names of the same inscription. The date of the victories of the two brothers, Eucarpides and Zopyrus, is interesting because it shows that the cult life of the sanctuary at Olympia went on beyond the date of the Herulean invasion (A.D. 267) and the date of the victory of the Armenian prince Varazdates (A.D. 369). The building where the bronze plaque was found, in the south of the bath ("Leonidaiontherme"), is interpreted by the excavators as "Vereinhaus einer Athletengilde", which is one more sign of the continuity of the activities in Olympia (see Nikephoros 6, 1993, 157; 7, 1994, 233 f. and 313-314). b.

Olympia, area of the so-called "Südwestbau", in a drainage canal; a bronze plaque bearing the names of some Olympic victors and athletes of different times: 11. 16-17: [Μ(άρκος) Α]ύρ(ήλιος) ΉλιΙ[όδωρος άν(δρών) πα]νκρά[τ(ιον)]; 11. 18-20: [ ] Μάρκος Αύρ(ήλιος) Ηλιόδωρος Ι [Ήλιοδ]ωρου Θεσπιες νικφ παίδων Ι [πανκρ]άτιον. From Thespiai Remarks: Ebert, op. cit., 221, η. 4 supposes, with circumspection because of the bad condition of the left part of the plaque, that we have to do here with one person; his victory in the pankration of youths may be one olympiad before his victory in the pankration of men, which was probably put on the list in small letters at a later date. The date of the victories is suggested by Ebert, loc. cit. 79. Μ(ΑΡΚΟΣ) ΑΥΡΗΛΙΟΣ ΕΑΛΗΝΟΚΡΑΤΗΣ [1] ΙνΟ 116,1. 6 facsimile [A.D. 233]. Olympia; list of cult personnel.
