New Inscriptions from Olympos (Lykia)

This article presents four new inscriptions recorded during the 2024 excavation season in Olympos: 1) The Tomb of Epiktesis and his Family 2) The Tomb of Midas and his Family 3) The Tomb of Zosimos and his Family, and 4) The Tomb of a person(s), whose name(s) is/are unknown. These four tomb inscriptions were uncovered and documented in the area known as the North Necropolis of the city. The first inscription is not in situ; however, since it was found within the North Necropolis, it is thought not to have come from a distant location and probably belongs to this area. Each inscription has been assessed individually within its context. In addition to these assessments, this article provides a brief explanation of the burial penalties commonly found in the tomb inscriptions of Olympos and includes information concerning where these fines were paid to and the amounts involved.

Abstract

This article presents four new inscriptions recorded during the 2024 excavation season in Olympos: 1) The Tomb of Epiktesis and his Family 2) The Tomb of Midas and his Family 3) The Tomb of Zosimos and his Family, and 4) The Tomb of a person(s), whose name(s) is/are unknown. These four tomb inscriptions were uncovered and documented in the area known as the North Necropolis of the city. The first inscription is not in situ; however, since it was found within the North Necropolis, it is thought not to have come from a distant location and probably belongs to this area. Each inscription has been assessed individually within its context. In addition to these assessments, this article provides a brief explanation of the burial penalties commonly found in the tomb inscriptions of Olympos and includes information concerning where these fines were paid to and the amounts involved.
