ROMAN PERSONAL NAMES IN ELEIA
221-223
agonothetes of Eurycleia in Sparta (IG V 1, 666; SEG 11, 1950, 836; Bradford, 43),
who is dated in the reign of Caracalla and, according to U. Kahrstedt, "Zwei
Probleme im kaiserzeitlichen Griechenland", SO 28, 1950, 72, seems to be a
Corinthian.
221. [Λ(ΟΥΚΙΟΣ)] ΓΕΛΛΙΟΣ [ΒΑΣ]ΣΟΣ
7νΟ460 facsimile [3rd c. A.D.].
Olympia; three fragments of a statue base bearing a fragmentary honorary inscription for the
person:
[Λούκιον] Γέλλιον [...]σον, τον έαυτ[ών εύεργέτην, Ι ί]ερών καί ....ων [κ]αί τών [ , Ι
ιερέα του Δ]ιός τοϋ Ό[λυμ]πίου, γραμ[ματεύσαντα Ι τής πόλεω]ς καί έλλ[αδάρχ]ην τών
[—, Ι 5 συνεπι]ψηφισ[αμένης] τής Ό[λυμπικής βουλής....].
Elean (?)
Remarks: Commentary on the important family of Gellii in Corinth see Corinth VIII. 2, 93;
222. ΓΕΜΕΛΛΑ
Gellii are also found in Argolis, Laconia and Megalopolis. His Elean origin is to be
accepted because of his tenure of some Elean offices. The restoration of his
cognomen as [Bas]sus is based on the frequency of that name among Gellii in several
areas of the Péloponnèse, e.g. IG IV 1417 (=IG IV 2 1, 694); V 2, 518; Corinth VIII.
2, p. 78. B. Puech, "Grand-prêtres et helladarques d'Achaïe", REA 85, 1983, 31
identifies him "sans doute" with the person of IG IV 2 1, 694, who dedicated a statue
for Claudius Leonticus, corrector of Achaia.
The word έλλ[αδάρχ]ην in 1. 4 of the inscription is followed by a genitive τών,
which is completed by Dittenberger and Purgold as [εν.... ιερών], which is
however not attested.
For the person see also Zoumbaki, Elis und Olympia, Γ 5.
Te Riele, BCH 88, 1964, Inv. 642, 172-174, phs. 1-2 (AnnÉpigr 1965, 126; SEG 22, 1967, 353)
[3rd c. A.D.(?)].

line there is an engraved ivy leaf, while on the tenth line there is an engraved picture of a πωλο-
δαμαστής (for the text see EL 240).
