à la fin de la République romaine (Rome 1981) 117-118.
200. fPRISCUS SILIVIUS
St. N. Thomopoulos, 'Ιστορία της πόλεως Πατρών από αρχαιοτάτων χρόνων μέχρι τον 1821
(Patrai 1950 2
) 224, η. 2; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 87 [imperial period].
Patrai, now lost; a marble plaque from a funerary monument.
Remarks: The interpretation of the text and the reading of the second name are very obscure,
but could not be checked since the stone is lost.
201. [PR]OCULA PACONIAE [HE]LPIDIS E[T] NUMISI [SEC]UNDI ALUMNA
CIL III, 499; *Rizakis, Achaie II, no. 4, 1 [beginning of the imperial era].
Patrai; a stone, now lost, bearing a dedication to Artemis Laphria by the person; Procula, who
was the alumna of Paconia Helpis and Numisius Secundus, was honoured with the ornam(enta)
[sacejrdotalia of Diana Laphria:
[Pr]ocula, Paconiae I [Hel]pidis e[t] Numisi I [Sec]undi alumna, ornam(entis) I 4
[sace]rdotial(ibus) Dianai Laphriai.
Remarks: The name Procula is derived neither from her father's nor from her mother's names;
the free origin of the alumna explains the position of her name at the beginning of
the document; alumna is the Latin equivalent of the Greek θρεπτός. The early date
is justified by the orthography Laphriai pro Laphriae, used in the Republican period;
from the beginning of the imperial era this writing was considered an archaism (see
bibliography in Rizakis, op. cit., 84).
202. PUBLICIA OPTATA
A.D. Rizakis, ZPE 82, 1990, 205-208, no. IV, pi. VIII no. 4 (AnnÉpigr 1990, 888); *Rizakis,
Achaie II, no. 53 [2nd/3rd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a limestone stele recording some donations ob honorem by the named woman's son for
his tenure of the office of duumvir. The mother was responsible for the erection of the
monument. For the text see ACH 190.
