Yorum

The closing part of a funerary inscription bears a mention of punishment for unauthorised use of the tomb. Some of my supplements are only given as examples.

2–3 ὃς δ᾿ ἂν … [τολ]μ̣ήσει: see no. 673, 3–4 comm.

3–4 Cf., e.g., IGSK 23 (Smyrna), no. 253, 6–7: ἀλλότριον νεκρὸν θεῖναι.

6 ΕΓΕ̣[ ]: ἐγέ̣[νετο], vel sim.?

7 The year may have been dated by the officiating proconsul whose name was given in dativus temporis, cf., e.g., no. 322, 9 and no. 674, 1–2. Candidates could be Sex. Sulpicius Tertullus (who was proconsul of Asia some time around 173 AD: B. Thomasson, Laterculi praesidum I, p. 231, no. 154) or M. Sulpicius Crassus (who was proconsul of Asia under Commodus; Thomasson, op. cit. I, p. 232, no. 164). - A coin from 218–44 AD is dated ἐπὶ Σουλπ(ικίου) Ἑρμοφίλου ἄρχ(οντος) (πρώτου) τὸ (δεύτερον); see L. Robert, RN 1976, p. 52, with n. 15 (= Op. Min. VI, p. 164; Choix, p. 668); Campanile, Sacerdoti, p. 141, no. 166.

7–8 The day seems to correspond to August 12.
