ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ACHAIA

31; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 78 [2nd/lst c. B.C.] .
Patrai; a limestone grave stele bearing a pediment decorated with acroteria and a relief. Mutius
is the name of the father of the deceased:
Στράτιε Μουτιου, χαίρε.
Remarks: For the diffusion of the name Mutius see Papapostolou, op. cit., 118, η. 368. The
onomastic formula Στράτιος Μουτιου is Greek, while the name of his father is certainly
Roman. Stratius can also be used as a Roman name (see Solin and Salomies, 177).
