ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ELEIA
1929, 321 no. 45. facsimile (cf. SEG 11, 1950, 712 and add. 712); Ameling, Herodes
Atticus I, 29 n. 48 (text in II, 74-75 no. 45); he is attested indirectly in IG V 1, 32 A
I. 13 and IG V 1, 62 a 1. 2 (cf. SEG 11, 1950, 520) erected in his term. Before A.D.
138 he appears also among the [ενσ]ειτοι in a catalogue of ephors and
nomophylakes (Woodward, ABS A 29, 1927-28, 21-22 no. 42 b. facsimile [SEG 11,
1950, 533 b]; Ameling, Herodes Atticus II, 78-79 no. 50 b). Further he must be
identified with Atticus in a cursus honorum of C. Iulius Theophrastus dated in the age
of Antoninus Pius who held the office of Κυθηροδίκας υπέρ "Αττικού (Woodward,
ABSA 27, 1925-26, 227-34 F 3. ph. [AnnÉpigr 1929, 20; SEG 11, 1950,492 col. II1.
13]; Ameling, Herodes Atticus I, 29 n. 49, text in II, 79-80 no. 51; for Κυθηροδίκας
see Spawforth, ABSA 75, 1980, 207, ns 27-29). There are also more members of his
family that were related to Sparta, i.e. his daughter Claudia Tisamenis (FOS 226-227,
no. 251), attested in a dedication from a family group found in the theater of Sparta
(Woodward, ABSA 29, 1927-28, 37-38 no. 59 1. 1; cf. emendations by Spawforth,
ABSA 75,1980,208.211-17, pi. 23 a [SEG 11,1950, 781]; Ameling, Herodes Atticus
II, no. 68) and his son Herodes (see also remarks of EL 144).
Claudius Atticus is probably to be identified with [Τιβ(έριος) Κλαύδιος "Α]ττικός
(ο) λαμπρότατος [ύπατικός] in a rescript of the Emperor Hadrian with a letter of
the proconsul from Gytheion (IG V 1, 1147). The polis of Gytheion honours
Claudius Atticus with a statue at the Propylaea in Athens (IGW 1, 1171=JG II 2 3596
[SEG 11, 1959, 933]); in this document he appears as a high priest of the imperial
cult and as a κηδεμών τοϋ έθνους (probably of the Eleutherolacones) and σωτήρ καί
κτίστης of the polis of Gytheion (LAC 270 [6]).
The person is also attested in two honorary inscriptions from Corinth, one on a
marble architrave (COR 169 [IB]) and another on a marble statue base (COR 169
[1A]), where he appears as praetoriis ornament(is) ornato ex s(enatus) c(onsulto).
In addition some ruins in Loukou in Arcadia have been identified with a villa of
Herodes Atticus, where his father is mentioned in an inscription, see ARC 63.
f. Herodes Atticus (EL 144); for the stemma of the family see Appendix, Stemmata XI, 1. 2. 3.
