*149. ΡΟΥΦΟΣ

Tegea, near the church of Episkopi; a marble statue base bearing an honorary epigram for the
consul Rufus, erected by πόληος άριστοι:
"Ηπιε, καρτερόθυμε, σαόπτολι, ύπατε Ι Τοΰφε, Ι άντεχε, σής Τεγέης μένος, οβριμε, Ι άντεχε
πάσιν Ι δυσμενέσιν, δώρω δ' έπαγ(ά)λλεο Ι ω βασιλεύς σοι Ι άντ' αρετής δώκεν, στήσαν δέ Ι
πόληος άριστοι.
consul
Remarks: For the person see Groag, Reichsbeamten spätröm. Zeit, 68 (5EG 11, 1950,
1063), dating the text like Premerstein, op. cit., in A.D. 395 and connecting it with
the invasion of the Visigoths of Alaric (Zos. V. 6, 4); id., Zeits. für d. Alt. 60, 1923,
77, considers that Rufus was neither a consul Ordinarius nor a proconsul of Achaia
but that he held an honorary consulate offered to him by the Emperor Arcadius.
Feissel, op. cit., 292 points out the difficulties of accepting this theory, since the title
is attested only under Zeno.
