Synopsis

This paper provides an updated overview of the epigraphical evidence from the necropoleis of the Aeolic sites of Kyme and Myrina. A fresh approach to the available funerary texts gives inter alia a number of new insights into the prosopography of this part of the Aeolis and the social position of both dedicants and dedicatees.
