Extract

Soon after the somewhat rash attempt to reconstruct from an imperfect copy the Angora Resolution of the Stage Guild (J.H.S. xliv, 1924, pp. 158-161), I learnt that the marble pedestal on the right side of which it is engraved now stands well preserved within the cella of the Augusteum. The epigraphic copy of Calder and Cox and the excellent squeeze made by Cox in 1925 (Plate XXXIII) were generously put at my disposal, and in May 1926 I examined the original myself. The text, as will be seen, is much clearer than the previous copies led one to suppose; it differs so materially from the transcript in J.H.S. l.c., pp. 158-159, that a mere list of the requisite corrections would not be enough; only a revised edition of the whole document can be intelligible. In preparing this from the information and suggestions kindly supplied by Calder and Cox, I have also been favoured with the advice of Professor Josef Keil, invaluable for the restoration of ll. 30-36, and with that of Professor H. Dessau, who recognised the Roman dating and supplied the consul's name in the last line. Besides clearing away many textual obscurities, the revision of the original text has given us the endings of lines and the length of the lacunae in ll. 23-55. The facsimile (Plate XXXIII) shows only ll. 2-55.

page 245 note 1 Height of pedestal 1·51 m., of shaft 1·10. Width, front and rear, of moulded top 0·62, of shaft 0·48, of moulded base 0·62; width—sides, of top 0·64, of shaft 0.48 (broadening to r. at bottom) of base 0·64. Line 1, in letters 0·025 high, is on the top of the upper moulding at height of 0·23 above line 2; line 55 is at height of 0·30 above the ground. From the surface of the r. side of the shaft, on which are engraved ll. 2-55, has been chiselled a strip about 0·01 deep which obliterates the beginnings of ll. 23-55; this strip is 0·17 wide at line 23 and 0·29 wide at line 55.

page 247 note 3 The restoration [Μ]αίονος suggested in J.H.S. l.c. p. 160, note 5, is negatived by ἈρΧΔϵλτ. 7, 1921-1922, p. 85; the corrected reading is Πό Αίλίου Πομπηϊανοû Παίονος, Σιδητοû καί κτλ; here again Sir W. Ramsay's opinion that [·] αίονος was a name, not an ethnic (l.c. p.162), is confirmed. The inscribed pedestal in question has been moved from the site of Nysa to the new museum in Smyrna (July, 1926).
