New and Revised Funerary Inscriptions from Nikaia XX
This article presents a compilation of nine unpublished funerary inscriptions discovered in the territory of Nikaia. The first four inscriptions were discovered in the modern-day villages of Akçakoca and Hayrettin, located in the Pamukova District of Sakarya Province. These villages lie within the territory of the ancient settlement of Terbos. The remaining inscriptions were found in the eastern and southern parts of the territory of Nikaia. Notably, one of these latter inscriptions revealed the Cassius family’s connections to the rural hinterland. The inscriptions contain the following: 1) Tomb of Aurelius(?) Demas, 2) Tomb of Khrestos and his wife Maxima, 3) Tomb of an unknown person, 4) Tomb of an unknown person, 5) Tomb of Aristainetos(?), 6) Tomb of Claudia Perigenis, 7) Tomb of Hieronis, 8) Tomb of Longina, 9) Tomb of a man and his wife. In addition to the newly discovered inscriptions, two previously published inscriptions have been corrected (corrigendum): 10) Tomb of Eia and her husband Agathokles, 11) Tomb of Hermione and her husband Timotheos. The inscriptions are dated to the Roman Imperial period.
