A Summer in Phrygia: Some Corrections and Additions

Extract

In my second article on Phrygia, Vol. xviii., pp. 101 and 109, mention is made of some Latin inscriptions which were reserved until the stones should be re-examined. I had the opportunity of seeing them again this summer, and I now publish them, together with a few corrections and additions to both papers.

Vol. xvii., p. 401, l. 18. Read ‘the small river nearest but one to Saraï Keui on the east’; see the inset map, Pl. IV.

P. 418 ff. This inscription is discussed by A. Schulten in a paper entitled Libello dei coloni d'un demanio imperiale in Asia in Mitth. des Instituts, Röm. Abtheil., 1898, pp. 231–247. My restorations, which had to be made very hurriedly and with an inadequate knowledge of the special literature of the subject (e.g. of the important inscription of Skaptoparene, which throws so much light on our document), were merely tentative suggestions; but it seemed better to publish the inscription at once for the benefit of scholars than to hoard it up until an exhaustive commentary could be written on it.
