| description | A Hellenistic Honorary Inscription from the Border Area between Phrygia and PisidiaThe stele published in this article was found near modern Yeşilova in the border region of Phrygia and Pisidia. The stone contains four wreaths and an honorary inscription. The letter forms date the text to the Hellenistic period, and the date mentioned (Xandikos of year 67) is calculated according to an unknown, perhaps local era which may have started after the Peace of Apameia (188 B.C.), so that the stele was probably erected between 150 B. C. and the birth of Christ. The month Xandikos has the epithet “sacred” which is without parallel. The honorand is a certain Panagoas, son of Osagetas or -getes; both names are indigenous and attested here for the first time. Panagoas is honoured for his kalokagathia by the people of a village with the likewise unknown name of Ieraze or Hieraze, and in addition by further eight settlements whose inhabitants bear the ethnics Kesaeis, Nannakometai, Neaulitai, Attapolitai, Kr--lleis, -oapolitai, Paphiokometai (perhaps going back to a settlement of mercenaries from Cypriote Paphos), and Pasniteis. There are no indications in the text of a possible administrative organisation of the area and between the villages; since no polis is mentioned, the villages may have formed a loose federation. The wordings of the inscription as well as the accorded honours betray Greek influence. |
