Tanım

Four joining fragments of white marble (a–d), plus a fifth (e) and a sixth (f) whose positions in the inscription are uncertain. The fragments (a–e) are broken on all sides and belonged to a building of considerable size. The bilingual Greek and Latin inscription (H. of letters 0.09–0.10) was probably ca. 8 m in length.

Yorum

In the above reconstruction no account is taken of fragments (e): ]ΟΣ[ / ]Ο̣[ and (f): ]Ι̣Ε[. If the latter fragment is part of the Latin text, it may have belonged to (unabbreviated) ]Ν̣Ε[POS; if of the Greek text, to [ἀρχ]ι̣ε[ρεύς], μ̣έ[γιστος], or [ἀποκα]τ̣έ[στησεν] (assuming that the restitutions are correct).

Summary of Herrmann’s detailed commentary:

Tiberius was honored for the financial support he had offered to the twelve cities struck by the earthquake of 17 AD (cf. nos. 333 and 440), see Sardis VII 1, no. 9 comm.; for the monument from Puteoli representing them, see IGSK 5 (Kyme), T 152 and p. 222 (drawing); TAM V 3, p. x n. 4. Herrmann quotes the following parallels: OGI 471 (Mostene?), CIL III 7096 (Aigai), and IGSK 5 (Kyme), nos. 20–21. These documents could suggest as dates for the present inscription either 31 or 34 AD, but Herrmann stresses that the Sardis text may belong to another year.

N. Cahill wonders whether the inscription belongs to an early Roman version of the later arch, or whether these blocks were reused in the later arch.

The isolated fragment IN15.010 (f), showing a portion of the right edge of the plaque, probably belongs to the present inscription. - Editions of the inscription (except for fragment [f], which was discovered in 2015): P.
