ROMAN PELOPONNESE I
Argos; an honorary inscription erected by Pompeius Cleosthenes with the approval of the
boule, for his father, who had occupied several functions; he was agoranomos, sitones, gropheus.
His father's name (cognomen [?]) is not totally preserved on the stone, [—]αιρος; maybe he
was a Roman citizen. The person discussed here is attested as Πομπήιος Κλεοσθένης.
