Weitere neue Inschriften aus dem Museum von Bursa

As a part of our ongoing work conducted in the Bursa Archaeological Museum, we continue to introduce new inscriptions that have either recently been brought to the museum or have remained unpublished to date. There are a wide range of new inscriptions, dating from the Hellenistic Period but, primarily from the Roman Imperial Period, in this article. A few of them are honorific inscriptions (nos. 1 and 9-10), but the vast majority of the inscriptions are from the funerary genre. The find-spots for most of them are Bursa Province, but some of the inscriptions were found in other regions (nos. 2-4, 10) and the inscriptions found as a result of the successful interdiction of the smuggling of antiquities (nos. 5, 19, 21) that are now in the museum of unknown findspot, are also included in this article. The inscriptions document some new personal names such as Κυλινδρας (no. 11), Σύγκλητος (no. 26), Οτρογονος or Οτρογων (no. 28), Σκηλας (no. 31), Ὑιαρίων (no. 32), Τρυφηνα (no. 33), Νεάπιος, Νεαπία, Αἰθίππη (no. 34), Δημόθεμις (no. 36), Μυβάλη (no. 46), Λεόστης, Ἀπωτάτης (no. 58) and also some Thracian names such as Δοληζελμις (no. 9) contributing to research concerning onomastics. Moreover, some new toponyms such as Κιωλλουπετρα, Ὀρωπεια (no. 1) and new ethnics such as Βρασσηνοι (no. 9) are also attested. There is also one new funerary inscription of a gladiator (no. 11). In one of the new inscription (no. 16) whose findspot is unknown, the formulation “ἥρως χρηστὸς παροδείταις χαίρειν” is worthy of mention, which would signal that the monument is from Laodikeia on the Lycus in Phrygia. Many of these inscriptions provide the age of death of the deceased (see the index)
