New Inscriptions from Olympos (Lykia)
Year: 2024
Type: article
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.
