ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ARCADIA
facsimile (M. Guarducci, "La dedica di L. Mummio a Tegea", BullComm 64, 1936 [=7, 1936-
XIV-XV], 41-49 [BullÉpigr 1939, 120]) [146 B.C.].
Tegea, once in Tripolis; two fragments of a base bearing a dedication of L. Mummius. On
the same stone there was an older inscription, presumably of the 5th c. B.C., Ρασστυόχο
and Ιιερακλέος
Remarks: Ρασστυόχος is an epithet that could be associated with Athena as protector of a
125. ΟΚΤΑΒΙΟΣ ΠΑΠΥΛΟΥ
polis. This made scholars connect the inscription not with Athena Alea, the major
divinity of Tegea, but with Athena Poliatis, whose cult and shrine is quoted by
Paus. VIII. 57, 5. So F. Hiller von Gaertringen restores the text Λεύκιος Μόμ-
μιος Λευκίου στρατη[γός ύπατος Τωμαίων ' Αθήναι Πολιάδι]. On the contrary,
Guarducci, op. cit., associates the dedication to Athena Alea, whose epithet is
derived also from a root meaning defence or protection, and identifies Alea to the
ancient divinity who protected the polis of Tegea. She finds it possible that the
epithet Ρασστυόχος refers to Alea or to another divinity or hews and not to
Poliatis, who came from Argos.
For Mummius see ARG 194; EL 284.
