Neue Inschriften aus Patara II: Kaiserzeitliche Ehren- und Grabinschriften

Abstract

Seven new inscriptions are presented: 1) Patara honors Iason, son of Dionysios II. He had taken various public offices and relieved the city of a liturgy by a monetary donation. 2) and 3) Two dedications for an archiereus, belonging to the equestrian order, of the Lycian league. He held office as gymnasiarch for all ages in Patara. 4) and 5) The Lycian league and Patara honor Tib. Pollenius Armenius Peregrinus, proconsul under Gordian III. His governorship occurred within the time when the bronze mintage of the Lycian cities was restored after a 200-year long interruption. Both inscriptions point to his intervention concerning the granting of the right to mint coins. 6) The bilingual funerary inscription of C. Iulius Augustalis is the first document that mentions the scribe of a legatus Augusti pro praetore. 7) The latin epitaph of C. Pupius Severus, a tribune of the cohors I Musulamiorum, was erected by his wife in Patara.
