ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
n(on) s(equetur).
Aug(ur)
Remarks: This funerary inscription was probably set up on the family tomb of the Turpilii;
the final phrase H.M.H.N.S. (in 1. 5) is generally used from the end of the Republican
period until A.D. 150-160, cf. A. G. Valdecasas, La formula HMHNS en las fuentes
epigraficas romanas. Contribucion a la historia de los sepulcros familiäres y
hereditarios en el derecho romano (Madrid 1929) passim.
f. of Manlius s. of Titus (ACH 156), Aenius Secundus s. of Titus (ACH 12), Agele Vallia
(ACH 236) and Turpilia Nice (ACH 231); perhaps also sister of Turpilia Nympha (ACH 232)
234. VA[- - -]
I. Papapostolou, AE 1983, 32; id, Dodone 15.1, 1986, 265; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 208
[lst/2nd c. A.D.].
Patrai, found in no. 80, Ermou Str.; a fragment of a mutilated funerary marble plaque:
vac. Va[ J ' v(ivus vel iva) · Aequ[—].
Remarks: Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 208 proposes to restore in 1. 1 a nomen such as Va[tinius] or
Va[inia], cf. Solin and Salomies, 198.
235. BAAEPIA ΜΟΔΕΣΤΕΙΝΑ
A. Schmidt, MDAI (A) 6, 1881, 359, no. 65; *Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 40 [2nd/3rd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a statue base, built into the wall of a tower, bearing an honorary inscription for the
person; erected by her freedmen after a decree of the boule:
ΒαλερίανΙ Μοδεστειναν Ι οι απελεύθεροι Ι ψ(ηφίσματι) β(ουλης).
236. f AGELE F(ILIA) VALLIA
CIL III, 525; Rizakis, Achaïe II, no. 135 [lst/2nd c. A.D.].
Patrai; a stone, now lost, bearing the funerary inscription of the family of Turpilii, possibly
forged (for the text see ACH 233).
Remarks: The gentilicium Vallius/-a, although quite common in the West, is rather rare in the
East, see Schulze, 376. 425; Alföldy, Dalmatia, 133; in Achaia it is attested at
Thespiai dating to A.D. 14, cf. P. Roesch, Études béotiennes (1982) 173-177. The
Greek name Agele (LGPNl et III. A, 5. v.) is wide spread at Rome especially among
freedmen and slaves, cf. Solin, Namenbuch, 1189-1190. For a general comment see
(ACH 222, T. Turpilius).
d. of Titus Turpilius (ACH 233), sister Manlius s. of Titus (ACH 156), Aenius Secundus s.
of Titus (ACH 12) and Turpilia Nice (ACH 231); perhaps also sist. of Turpilia Nympha
(ACH 232)
