Bulunduğu Yeri

Found in 2012 near Sart during excavation of an underpass under the İzmir-Ankara highway at Esentepe, now near the entrance to the Bath-Gymnasium Complex.

Tanım

Roof-shaped cinerarium lid of white marble and an apex in the middle of the last line are preserved. Inscription (b) is on the other face of the roof.

Boyutlar

H. 0.37, W. 0.47, Th. 0.065, H. of letters [a] 0.02, [b] 0.017). It seems that on face (a), five lines of an earlier inscription had been deleted; traces of the last two letters of its first line ([ ]. E.

Yorum

1–3 One would rather expect ἐπὶ στεφανηφόρου Μηνογένους τοῦ Μηνοφάντου Ἀλεξάνδρου. The Sardian coin published in E. Babelon, Inventaire sommaire de la collection Waddington… (1897), no. 5212 (second–first century BC) has ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟ ΜΗΝΟΓΕΝΟ.

3 Ἀπελαίου, with simplified -λλ-.

3–4 τρί/[τ]ῃ, Petzl; TPI[-]/[--], Laflı and Bru.

4–5 ἐβίωσε Ἀρτεμίδωρος…ἐτῶν νγ´: One would expect ἐβίωσε ἔτη…; the construction has probably been mixed up with that of τελευτάω; see no. 593, 5–6 (ἐτελεύτησεν ἐτῶν ν´).

5 Μινᾶς: the second name of Artemidoros, son of [De]metrios, probably corresponds to Μιννᾶς (L. Robert, Noms indig., p. 226; Herrmann and Malay, New Documents, p. 41, no. 24, 5 comm.), written with simplified -νν-.
