AN HONORARY INSCRIPTION FROM ASSOS
Journal Title: Archivum Anatolicum-Anadolu Arsivleri - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
This article aims to introduce a new inscription which is seen at the “western necropolis street” of the ancient city of Assos, during the short survey conducted at the site since 2006. Considering the find-spot of the inscription, the author considers that this is a posthumous honor to Heliophon, son of Zopyros, bestowed by the demos of the city of Assos. The deceased bears a theophoric name which is rarely attested in Greek epigraphy.
