| Summary: | In a recent festschrift Aşkım Özdizbay has published two inscriptions from Perge, which require a revision. An investigation of these inscriptions and a comparison made with some inscriptions published in I.v. Perge showed that these are the bottom sections of two known inscriptions from Perge. Inscription A reads that the honouree was praefectus praetorio during the reigns of Claudius and of Nero. This person can only be the well known Sextus Afranius Burrus, who was the sole praetorian prefect from A.D. 50/1 to 61/2. The information related to this person was identified on a published fragment from Perge (I.v. Perge no. 222), further it is shown that Inscription A is the lower part of this already published Perge fragment. The honouree in Inscription B was a prefect in ala Picentiana and later became procurator of provincia Galaticae et Pamphyliae in the reigns of Claudius and Nero. The individual having these two qualifications was Lucius Pupius Praesens, who was honoured in Iconium (CIG 3991 = IGR III 263), and is known from a fragmentary inscription published in I.v. Perge no. 24. The dimensions and content of this fragmentary inscription entirely correspond with Inscription B. Therefore, Inscription B should be the lower part of I.v. Perge I, no. 24. |
