| Summary: | This article
contains the publication of a new public inscription from the village of Akkent
north of Çal (ancient Atyochorion). The inscription dates from the Roman
Imperial period and its upper half is heavily damaged. The remaining part of
the inscription contains information about a local benefactor Pl. Eukopos, son
of Philodoxos (?), who donated 150 denarii for the sacrifices of oxen to Zeus
Trossou and for the payment of the priests' poll tax, under the condition that
the expenses are perpetually defrayed from the interest, while the principal
remains intact to the people. The lost part of the inscription contained a list
of similar dedications/donations, erected under the supervision of the members
of local gerousia. |
