LE SYMPOSIUM INTERNATIONAL LE LIVRE. LA ROUMANIE. L ...

Roman veterans and the city institutions of Philippopolis... 559
has been made quite recently by V. Gerasimova. 107 Since that paper, a new
θρᾳκάρχης has appeared and is included in this article. 108
As of now, we are aware of 14 thracarchoi, as shown on table 5.
According to the names, they can be divided into five main groups. the
first consists of thracarches with only thracian names, 109 but it should
be mentioned that the inscriptions are fragmentary in these cases. the
second group consists of a person with a Greek name, 110 and here again the
inscription is fragmentary. the third group presents thracarches with roman
and thracian names. the fourth and fifth groups consist, respectively of
Greek and roman names and thracarchoi with only roman names. the
individuals of the last three will be discussed in the next paragraphs.

109 Κοτωος - iGBulg i2, 306 and [… Βει]θυς - iGBulg iii, 2, 1559. For the Thracian
origin of Κοτωος – see BEŠEVliEV 1951, 226; dETschEV 1957, 261 as a variant
of Κοτυς; see also PArissAKi 2007, 201; for the Thracian origin of [… Βει]θυς – see
BeŠeVlIeV 1951, 226; DetSCheV 1957, 47, 66-68; pArISSAKI 2007, 148-149.
110 Σεβαξ[ια]νος - shArANKoV 2005, 63–64; The name is cites as Greek in the
Corpus of the Greek inscriptions in Bulgaria– IGBulg. III, 1, but the other examples of that
name derived from thrace – see IGBulg II 513; IGBulg III,1 1332; SeG 46:864; IGBulg
III,1 1499; Dumont-homolle 1892, 316,o; IGBulg IV 2224. After inscriptions from
Philippopolis and Batkun it is possible the name here to be elaborated as Αὐρ(ήλιος) – see
iGBulg. iii, 1, 884; 1149, but here the names is Σεβαστιανός; in many cases in Thrace
behind that name the persons were Thracians – see for instance Σεβαζιανὸς Βειθυος –
iGBulg. iii, 1, 1332; Σεβαζιανὸς Μουκατραλεος – iGBulg. iV, 2224, but we have military
also – Σεβαζιανὸς Ἀλεξάνδρου β(ενε)[φ(ικιάριος)] – iGBulg. ii, 513.
