12.920. Honours for Aelius Aurelius Menandros
- Description:
- A statue base shaft apparently with moulded panels. A fragment from the base capital survives (H. 0.25 x W. 0.25 x D. 0.22).
- Text:
- Inscribed on three faces: a (Text i, 7 ff.), b and c (Text ii) (from left to right). i, ll.1-6 are on the base capital fragment, inscribed on three fasciae of the moulding (ll.1-2, l.3, l.4) which are broken away at both ends, and on the face below (ll.5-6) which is broken to the right. While it cannot be proved beyond doubt that this is the opening of i, it seems overwhelmingly likely. It is implied, at least in Fellows' description, that l.7 was the first line of the base; if so, the last line of the capital can be considered to precede it immediately. The opening letters of ll.19, 27, 29-32 appear to have been cut on the moulding
- Letters:
- The letters on the shaft are reported to be standard forms, slightly irregular 0.01-0.015. Those on the capital are standard second-/third-century forms, ll.1-2, 5-6, 0.015; ll.3-4, 0.02; dot for stop. Diairetic dots flanking initial Η, ll.23, 25, 31, 35 , first Η of ΑΝΗΡΗΣΘΑΙ, l.35, initial Α, l.41, of ΑΜΟΙΒΑΣ, l.30, initial I, ll.1, 32; ligatures: i: ΝΜ, l.13, ΗΝ, l.15, ΗΝ, l.16, ΗΝ, l.2, 19, ΜΗ, ΗΝ, l.20, ΝΗΜ, l.32, ΗΝ, l.33, ΗΜ, l.38, ΗΜ, l.41, ΜΗ, l.47. ii: ΗΝ, l.6, ΜΗ, ΗΝ, l.21

Apparatus
i. a. ll.7-10 were omitted by Fellows, perhaps among the lines which he describes as written on 'the cornice and mouldings'. The fullest text is that of Franz, from Loew, some of whose readings were omitted by MAMA.
i. a. l. 7, ΙΣΑΜΕΝΟΥ Deering, Franz, ἐπιψηφ]ισαμένου edd. prr.; but if the connection with the capital is correctly restored, there will not have been sufficient space to name a proposer and a seconder. ΤΑΙΜ.ΟΥ Loew.
i. a. l. 9, It is not clear whether there is room for the initial of a praenomen after the space required for ΕΠΕΙ at the beginning of the line.

i. a. l. 49, ΘΗΡΑΙΩΝ Fellows, MAMA; ΘΗΒΑΙΩΝ Deering, Loew; see Robert, Hell. XIII, 148-9.
ii. l. 4, καὶ ἐπιμελῶς is the restoration based on the decree of the synod (i, l.6) proposed by Franke in CIG, and adopted by all subsequent editors; it makes a line of thirty-one letters, in contrast to the normal line length (twenty-three to twenty-six letters); but this is not the only longer line.
ii. l. 5, Deering read ΠΑΝΚΡΑΤΙΝ, Fellows ΠΑΝΚΡΑ.
ii. l. 8, ΑΓ Fellows, ΑΠ Deering.
ii. l. 9, Deering copied the first three letters, then moved to the second letter of l.10.
ii. l. 41, Deering's copy shows a space on the stone before EIAN, and no space at the right end of the line.
ii. ll.42-5: the letters at the left printed in his transcription by Leake were in fact added as a supplement by Deering, who shows the break in his drawing.
Translation:
i.a [It was resolved] by the sacred xystic [?travelling synod under] Herakles and the agonistic one (i.e. Hermes) [and the emperors M(arcus) Aur(elius) Anto]ninus and L(ucius) Au[r(elius) Verus, of sacred and crowned victors] from the whole world [?at Antioch] Caesaria Co[lonia ?on the occasion of the contest worth ?one] talent: [Proposer ....] seconded by T(itus) Aelius M[...], wrestler, extraordinary: since Aelius Aurelius Menandros, (10) extraordinary, and xystarch for life of the contests in Colonia Antiochia, who practised as an athlete with honour and with concern, has reached such honour that, firstly, he has won with good fortune so many contests and has brought honour at each contest to his splendid homeland by proclamations and crowns and especially also in the time of the divine Antoninus, so that he was not only crowned at his hands, but also honoured with (20) particular honours; meanwhile, having become xystarch, he cared with such forethought and concern, and with all zeal, for our interests, exercising his office excellently well; for these reasons both on many other occasions and now praising the man and bearing witness to him we have sent resolutions to the lords emperors, considering that (these would be) the greatest and (30) appropriate returns to him for his goodwill towards us, and because with sufficient expenditure and much effort he succeeded in arranging that the recent contest was conducted among the people of Antioch, so that we think that the prizes were obtained from his own resources. Therefore it has been decreed, with good fortune to thank Menandros before the most sacred Council and the most splendid People of the Aphrodisians concerning what has been described, (40) and to honour him with the erection of statues and the dedication of images in the most distinguished location of his homeland; the honours are to be inscribed with the publication of this decree, in order that his honours from us should be perpetual.
He is also citizen of the following cities: of the Pergamenes, of the Antiochenes, Caesarean colonists, and councillor of the Thebans, and councillor of the Apolloniatai, (50) Lycian and Thracian, and councillor of the Milesians, the Pessinuntii, the Claudiopolitai.
Zenon son of Apollonios son of Menandros, his brother, was responsible for the honours.
