Yorum

As the lid no. 610 was found together with the present chest and both pieces “fit precisely” (Sardis excavation inscription register), they probably served for a double burial.

1 W. H. Buckler, JHS 37 (1917), p. 93, no. 6 (= TAM V 3, 1635) comm., deals with the Lydian name Akiamos; see also L. Zgusta, Kleinas. Personennamen, p. 51, § 34. Herrmann refers to Ακιαμος and Ὀπινᾶς on a Sardian coin of the time of Augustus or Tiberius (Leschhorn, Lexikon, pp. 302, 731; RPC I 2989); the identity of both persons called Akiamos is uncertain. Ὀπινᾶς was the second name of Χρυσόγονος Χρυσογόνου νεώτερος (Sardis VII 1, no. 8, 132, time of Augustus) and probably of Χρυσόγον[ος Δ]ιοφάντου (Sardis VII 1, no. 121; “about 50 BC”; see no. 613, 1 comm.). J. and L. Robert, Amyzon, pp. 38, 252 think that Ὀπινᾶς might be a Greek “sobriquet populaire,” even though there is no obvious Greek word from which the name could be derived.

τὸ (T with a small omicron on top) α´: Akiamos’s second period of office was apparently envisaged (Herrmann).
