59. Acclamations of Mardaetus and of the Pytheanitae

Monument: Four joining fragments of a white marble panel with a raised rim on all sides (1. 0.89, W. 0.65, 0. 0.16), inscribed on the face with a board, type 3Rows.4, carefully cut on the central panel (0.55 x 0.75; circles 0.04; central rosette in circle, 0.09). One side is entirely preserved, and the two ends survive in part.

Text: Inscribed along one long side (a) and the short side to the left of it (b). The other end was not inscribed.

Letters: The letters of the two texts are similar—irregular and rough. av. 0.03—but not identical, a appears to have been cut with a finer point, and has a simple Υ; b has Υ with a cross-bar.

Date: Late fifth century (prosopography)

Recording: Excavated by the NYU expedition in 1969 (69.378).

Bibliography: Published by Roueché, Aphrodisias in Late Antiquity no. 59 a and b, and plate xv, whence PHI 841, 842; republished Roueché, Gameboards, no. 5.
