Extract

A complete collection of the known Phrygian inscriptions belonging to the Roman Imperial period was published by Professor [Sir] W. M. Ramsay in vol. viii. of the Jahresh. d. Oest. Arch. Inst. (1905), pp. 79–120. On that occasion Professor Ramsay reprinted all the Phrygian texts which he had already collected in Kuhns Zeitschrift für Vergl. Sprachf. xxviii. pp. 381 ff., and added nineteen new inscriptions. The discovery in 1908 and 1910 of a score of fresh inscriptions, many of considerable interest, affords a suitable opportunity to revise the text of the older series. In a large majority, of cases, the new discoveries confirm Professor Ramsay's interpretations. In some cases they suggest or impose modifications. An account of other literature on the subject will be found in Ramsay's later paper. As I shall have occasion to refer constantly to Ramsay's papers in Kuhns Zeitschrift and the Jahresh. d. Oest. Arch. Inst., it will be convenient to call those papers R (a) and R (b) respectively. Professor Ramsay's numbering does not correspond exactly with the number of Phrygian texts published, because his earlier collection contains a few Greek inscriptions.

41 I owe this explanation to Mr. Fraser, Aberdeen University, who thought of it independently of Prof. Torp's division.

42 I had thought of εγεδου τι ος ουται comparing εγεδου with ειτου taking τι as the particle in apodosis (=ετι) and regarding ος as the borrowed Greek demonstrative pronoun. But εγεδουτ ιος is more probable (so also Prof. Ramsay).

42a Cf. αιβαταν and αβαταν above.

42b This was pointed out to me by Prof.Smith, J. A.. Prof. Torp also notices the similarity (Mindeskrift over Prof. Dr. Sophus Bugge (1908), p. 214Google Scholar.)

43 E.g. Le Bas, No. 912.

44 Cf. a similar arrangement, with the genitive, in Class. Rev. xix. p. 428.

44a Probably we should read ε[τιτ]ιθνιουμενος ; cf. ετιτετικμενος passim.

44b The genitive termination -ιος is common in Isauria. See Class. Rev. xxiv. p. 80.

45 See on No. IX.

46 As οουιτετου represents ‘owitetou’ (see on No. L.), we must assume, in order to connect the two words, that οιουθβαν is for οι-ϝουθβαν ϝουθβ- can be equivalent to ϝιτ- just as we find τετουκμενος for τετικμενος;θ here, as elsewhere in these inscriptions, is a mere orthographic variation for τ And the initial ο- and οι- are possibly attempts to write an identical Phrygian sound; the dat. fem. alternates between and -αι See on No. XXXV.

48 See Hill, , B.M. Catalogue of Coins, Lycaonia, Introd. p. xxiii. and p. 4Google Scholar. I hope elsewhere to give reasons for regarding the form Κόνιον which occurs in Pliny, in Byzantine writers (e.g. Chalcocond. p. 243), and on a rude Lycaonian milestone (Thousand and One Churches, Ramsay and Bell, p. 512) as the original native name (Phrygian Kawania) corrupted into Εἰκόνιον by etymologising Greeks under the influence of the stories of Perseus and Nannakos. Malalas, p. 36, gives Amandra as an old name of Iconium.

50 E.g. Ep. Rom. iii. 31.

50a My notice has been drawn to the Phrygian town-name Κεράμων ᾿Αγυρά; but this is probably the Greek translation of the Phrygian (or older) name.

51 E.g. Ath. Mitth. xxxv. p. 177 (ἠγόραζϵ): compare the use of ἐποίϵι on tombs and works of art.

52 It occurs (at Iconium) Jour. Hell. Stud. xxii. p. 349 (Cronin), if the reading is correct.

53 I.e. meaning πϵρίβολος The term τόπος often replaces πϵρίβολος; at Hierapolis, it was the usual term. (Stemler, , Griech. Grabinsch. p. 24Google Scholar.)

57 Mr. Anderson, the copyist, informs me that he felt no doubt as to the reading διθρϵρα.

58 See Ramsay, in Kuhns Zeitschrift, xxviii. p. 385Google Scholar.

58a Perhaps it is connected with Greek ἠρίον (see on No. XII.) cf. τουσκϵρϵδριας (LVI.) with τισκϵλϵδριαι (LXVII.) a parallel to which Mr. G. F. Hill draws my attention.

59 On the forms of this name, see Anderson, in J.H.S. 1899, p. 119Google Scholar. In J.H.S. 1902, p. 357, Cronin wrongly corrects Πρϵιϵι to Πρϵι[β]ι in an inscription of Iconium.

60 To be described in the Revue de Philologie.

61 A separate inscription may be engraved on the back, or sides: e.g. Class. Rev. xix. p. 368, No. I.

61a The lettering is much better than the epigraphic copy suggests.

64 Studies in the E. Roman Provinces (Ramsay, ), p. 160Google Scholar, from Callander's copy. Prof. Callander prints ἐκ ι διαδοχῆς (for ἐκ <ι> διαδοχῆς). I recopied this inscription with Γδικαι and τδἀνμαα fresh in my mind in 1910, and regarded ΕΚΓΔ as quite certain. Cf. the proper name ᾿Αλλεγδἡμων in No. XXXVI., and the Homeric ἐρίγδουπος

66 I find a fourth instance, also feminine, in my 1908 notebook, from Tchetme in Phrygia Paroreios.

67 If we read Της in No. L., we may connect it with the name Τᾶς found at Laodiceia Combusta, see Kretchmer, , Einleitung, p. 347Google Scholar.

68a They are more probably Greek words modified by Phrygians than Phrygian words cognate with the Greek.

69 On Iota adscript in Imperial inscriptions, see Class. Rev. 1910, p. 78. Prof.Ramsay, in Class. Rev. xix. p. 370Google Scholar, prints Ι, and indicates Ν as possible. In 1909 he and Miss Ramsay preferred Κ (see Miss Ramsay, loc. cit.). In 1910 I considered that the letter could not by any possibility be Κ. There is a break in the stone close to the right of the vertical bar; but there is room for part of both oblique bars beyond the break, and they do not appear.

69a Or is it an attempt to write Jovi?

73 σα is def. art. in XLIX. See on II. a.

74 σας τους κερεδριας and σα τις κελεδριαι would be still more difficult to explain.

74a In view of the tendency in Phrygian to change ι before a vowel into yod, this seems better than to assume elision of ϵ.

74b Taking the element Θλαν- as Galatian.

75 ατ (= αδ) takes the dative in XLIX.

76d Cf. Wiener Sitzb. xliv. 128, quoted above.

77 The alternative is to assume that the form in -etai as well as that in -etor was Phrygian.

77a The proper names are, of course, not certain.

78 Ματαρ, occurs as a personal name in J.H.S. 1899, p. 84Google Scholar, and on an unpublished inscription copied in 1908 at Kelhassan in N. Lycaonia. On a Greek inscr. of Phrygia Paroreios (Sterrett, Ep. Jour. No. 163) ματρί occurs for μητρί.
