Inscriptions from Bizye
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 October 2013
Extract
During a visit to Bizye (modern Viza) in February 1906, I gathered the inscriptions which are here published. Mr. Hasluck has supplied the initialled notes and restorations, and I am responsible for the texts only.
R.M.D.
Viza lies seventy miles to the north-west of Constantinople, and twenty miles to the west of the Black Sea. It was the seat of the chiefs of the Astai (whence ᾿Αστική as a subdivision of Thrace), and afterwards of the Thracian kings whose relationships are discussed below.

page 182 note 1 Tacitus never mentions the name; in iii. 38 he says ‘Regem urbemque Philippopolim circumsidunt,’ in iii. 39 ‘Regis opportuna eruptione.’ The younger Rhoemetalces is never mentioned by name in Tacitus, who speaks consistently of the ‘liberi Cotyis.’ Even when local inscriptions come into direct conflict with Roman literary evidence the former unquestionably carry the greater conviction.
