ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ARGOLIS
'Αρτέμιδος Ι 'Αγοραίας ΤούΙλιος Ποπλάς Ι πυροφορήσας Ι 5
το αρ' έτος. On the same stone
there is one more inscription (see Peek, loc. cit.).
Remarks: Peek reads before ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ the letter Γ, which could be interpreted as the
praenomen Γ(άιος). For name building like Ποπλάς see H. Solin, "Ancient
onomastics: perspectives and problems", in: Roman onomastics, 8.
152. ΤΙΒ(ΕΡΙΟΣ) ΙΟΥΛ[ΙΟΣ - - -] ΥΙΟΣ PY[- - -]
W. Vollgraff, BCH21, 1903, 264, no. 11 with facsimile [lst/2nd c. A.D.]:
Argos, found in a private house; a fragmentary honorary inscription: Τιβ(έριον) ....Ιυίον ....
[εύ]Ιεργέτ[ην ]l [μεγαλο]Ιψύ[χως] ....lov
Remarks: In Vollgraff's facsimile a fragment of a word after TIB could be read ICYA and
perhaps completed as ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ. In the facsimile it can also be read PY.
153. ΤΙΒΕΡΙΟΣ ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ ΣΙΑΝΟΗΣ or ΣΙΑΝΘΟΣ
IG IV 1438-9; IG IV 2 1, 659-660; cf. Peek 1969, 124-5, no. 287 [1st c. A.D.].
Epidauros, sanctuary; two honorary inscriptions, one for his wife and one for his son, on an
exedra erected by the polis of Epidauros:
I. [ r A πόλις των Έπιόαυρίων] Ι Κλαυδί[α]ν Δαμέα θυγατέρα Ι Λαφάνταν, γυναίκα Τιβερίου
Ι Τουλίου Σιάνθου, άρετάς ένεκεν Ι καί εύνοιας τας εις αύτάν.
II. "Α πόλις ά των Έπιδαυρίων Ι Τιβέριον Τούλιον Σιάνθου Ι υίον Κλαυδιανόν άρετάς Ι
ένεκεν και εύνοιας τας Ι εις αύτάν.
Remarks: For differences between the stemmas of the family suggested respectively by
Fraenkel in IG IV and Hiller von Gaertringen in IG IV 2 1, p. XXV see H. Box,
/HS 53, 1933, 112-4 (SEG 11, 1950, 445). Box regards the name Σιάνθης as a
mistake for Εύάνθης, since the latter name occurs in the family and no name
beginning with Σια- is listed by Bechtel, HPN, s.v.; Box rejects Hiller's opinion
that Sianthes was a son of Tib. Claudius Nicoteles, since they have a different
gentilicium. This would suggest either that the son received Roman citizenship
from Tiberius —in other words, before his father, who acquired it from
Claudius— or that he was adopted by a Iulius; in this case he would have born also
the name Claudianus.
f. Tib. Iulius Claudianus (ARG 144), h. Claudia Laphanta (ARG 76); for the stemma of the
family see Appendix, Stemma IV.
154. ΓΑΪΟΣ ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ ΛΑΚΩΝΟΣ ΥΙΟΣ ΣΠΑΡΤΙΑΤΙΚΟΣ
IG IV 1469; IG IV 2
1, 663 [1st c. A.D.].
