Pace: A cirta tre ore da Adalia verso oriente, nella direzione della strada di Gundur segnata nella carta del Kiepert presso Lanckoronski, nel Caragialler Mezarlik esiste una base di pietra del diam. di cm. 63 piantata capovolta nel suolo, da cui emerge m. 1,10. In belle lettere regolari porta l 'iscrizione: (inscription); le lettere delle prime cinque linee sono di cm. 3,5, quelle dell 'ultima di cm. 4,5. Si tratta di una delle solite "acclamationes", all 'imperatore Caligola, il cui nome ufficiale era appunto, com ' è noto, Caio Caesare Augusto Germanico. Il demos era probabilimente quello di Perge.

Es steht im CIG 1696 ein unscheinbares Fragment in Maiuskeln, das Boeckh unergänzt ließ; es war von Clarke auf dem Platze vor der Häusern 69-70 aufgefunden, also an der Südseite des Apollontempels unweit des Pronaos. Wie in den Scheden IG VIII n. 320/22 nachgewiesen, habe ich zwei Brocken des Clarkeschen Steins aufgefunden, den einen mit erhalterner linker Kante, a. 1887 eingemauert in Augenhöhe in Haus 71, den zweiten rechts anschließenden, rings gebrochenen, im alten Museum n. 162 (jetzt Inv. 2204), und ergäntzte sie nach der Tiberius-statue Syll. n. 791 B zu dem Namen eines der folgende Kaiser. Da von Claudius schon drei Statuen (Syll n. 801 A-C), von Nero eine (Syll. n. 808) bezeugt sind, mußte man unsere Bildsäule mit wahrscheinlichkeit zwischen die beiden des Tiberius und die drei des Claudius setzen, sie also auf Caligula beziehen. Dann wäre sie wie nebenstehend zu ergänzen.

AE: Trois blocs de marbre blanc, trouvés, le premier en 1956 dans la région des thermes de Scholastique, le second réemployé dans un mur byzantin au N. de la porte septentrionale de l 'Agora, le troisieme, en 1956, en second remploi dans le temple d 'Hadrien ou il avait deja servi lors d 'une réfection du batiment. Les deux premiers blocs concernent les deux fils aines de Germanicus, Nero Iulius Caesar et Drusus Iulius Caesar et la fille ainée, la mere de Néron, Iulia Agrippina. L 'éditeur croit reconnaitre le nom de Germanicus pere de ces trois princes, dans les vestiges du troisieme bloc. Nous ne saurions partager cette opinion, parce que le fils adoptif de Tibere s 'appelait Germanicus Caesar, Germanicus étant emploué comme prénom. Le seul prince valable est Caligula, qui portait le nom de Caius Caesar Germanicus avant son avenement, et celui de Caius Caesar Germanicus Augustus, quand il fut monté sur trône.

Mitford (Opuscula): A dedication to Caligula. Kouklia, in the Inscription House; found in March, 1888 during excavation of the Aphrodite Temple: a pedestal of slate-coloured marble. Of the two longer faces, one, still, intact, carries the inscription JHS 9 (1888) no. 35, of the earlier half of the 3rd century B.C. On the other, now reduced by fracture on the right to a width of 0.29, is a deleted inscription overlooked by the JHS editors. The mutilation being perfunctory and directed rather against the inscribed surface as such than against letter or line, much is still legible.

Les bases n. 14147, 3 et 4 sont à côté l 'une de l 'autre, tout près, sur le même alignement. A côté de la base 14147,4 on voit les restes d 'une sorte de pilier; les pierres étaient parfaitement appareillées et unies entre elles par des tenons en queue d 'aronde. Il ne reste que peu de chose de ce pilier, deux assises au plus. La base 14147, 1-2 ne fait pas exactement face à celle de n. 14147, 3. On ne peut guère supposer une allée de statues ayant la même largeur que l 'ouverture masquée par le reste d 'édifices que l 'on voit auprès de la base n. 14147, 4, parceque la base n. 14147, 1-2 parait un peu éloignée des autres. JMH: Dedicated 28 April 39 AD. The number after trib. pot. is left out. It should have been 3. Later reused as a base for a statue of Trajan (CIL III, 14147, 2). Found together with staue bases for Antoninus Pius and Lucius Verus.

Arch. epigr.: Im Atrium dieses Hauses fand sich beim Ausräumen des Brunnens von einer Inschrifttafel aus Marmor ein links und rechts gebrochenes Stück. Das Denkmal steht, so viel ich sehe, vereinzelt da. Zwar sind römischen Kaisern währen ihrer Regierungszeit äußerst zahlreiche Standbilder errichtet worden, und regelmäßig gaben die Inschriften auf den Sockeln an, von wer die Errichtung herrührte. Aber auch wenn dies Einzelpersonen waren (nach den erhaltenen Inschriften zu Urtheilen ist dies eine verhältnismäßig geringe Minderzahl der Fälle gewesen), befanden sich die Bildnisse wohl gewöhnlich auf Plätzen oder in öffentlichen Gebäuden, oder wenn sie auf einem Boden standen, der Privateigenthum war, so werden dies meist Stellen gewesen sein, die einem größeren Publikum zugänglich waren, wie Gärten und Villen. In unserem Falle kann nach der Fundstelle, der Beschaffenheit und den Maßen der Platte wohl kein Zweifel bestehen, dass das Kaiserbildnis im Atrium des Hauses selbst sich befand. JMH: The woman dedicating the inscription could very well be the mother of Vespasian.

Dörpfeld proposed that the associated statues were placed between the columns of the scenae. The mason marks are still preserved on the blocks, thus permitting a reconstruction of the statuary arrangement: Germanicus (IG 12, 3, suppl., 1393), as Zeus Boulaios, appeared on the left, Vespasian in the centre, and Agrippina (IG 12, 3, suppl., 1392), as Hestia Boulaia, at the right. The Vespasian dedication is clearly a replacement of an earlier one of Caligula.

Klaffenbach: Ein Neufund war aber auch hier beschert: die Weihung einer Statue des Kaisers Caligula durch den ajrciereu" aujtou ' dia; bivou an den Göttin rJwvmh;. In Namen des Kaisers ist das Wort Gavion durch Rasur getilgt. JMH: The inscription could come from either Abai or Hyampolis. To my knowledge the inscription has still not been properly published.
