Athenian, originated from Nicomedia
consularis, legatus Augusti pro praetore provinciae Cappadociae
Remarks: The person is identified by Bowersock, loc. cit., with T. Flavius Arrianus, the well
known Athenian philosopher originating from Nicomedia who attained the consular
rank (SEG 31, 1981, 285); for the person, see further E. Schwartz, RE II 1, 1896,
1230-1247 [9]; PIR 2 F 219; Halfmann, Senatoren, no. 56; id., in: EOS II, 637-638;
Thomasson, 269 no. 25; Rémy, Carrières sénatoriales, 213-217, no. 169, with
bibliography. For the inscriptions recording his eponymous archonship in Athens in
the year A.D. 145/6 (IG II 2 2055) see Oliver, GRBS, op. cit., appendix, 337-338 and
id., in: EOS II, 588 and 593; according to Oikonomidis, loc. cit., the Corinthian
inscription is to be dated before A.D. 145/6, i.e. the year of his Athenian archonship.
For his friendship with the Corinthian Gellii, see BuIlÉpigr 1968,253; Oliver, loc. cit.
(cf. BuIlÉpigr 1971, 304 and L. Moretti, RFIC103, 1975, 182-186); the restoration of
the last two lines is that of J. and L. Robert (BuIlÉpigr 1968, 253 and 1971, 304),
which differs slightly from that proposed by Bowersock, loc. cit. and Oliver, loc. cit.
(cf. SEG 31, 1981, 285). For his probable relations with the wealthy family of Φλα-
βιανός (I) (COR 260) and Σαλβία (COR 545), see Kritzas, "Πετρί Νεμέας", 398-413.
