Abstract

The great number of epitaphs with an ethnic is a specific feature - recognized long ago by the historians - of the Eretrian (and, to a lesser degree, of the Chalcidian) funeral epigraphy. As a young epimeletes of the Archaeological Service in the sixties, Vasileios Petrakos had contributed significantly to the adding of new items of this type to the collection of the Berlin Corpus (IG XII 9 and Supplementum), further increased, since then, by other Greek and Swiss publications. This paper emphasizes the historical interest of some monuments made known in 1968 and 1974 by the honorandus (or previously by the German epigraphist E. Ziebarth): for instance, the tombstone of a man from the almost completely obliterated city of Eudaristos in Paeonia (Macedonia), or the epitaphs of other mercenaries designated as Skaios Agrian, as Sapaios or simply as Thrax (in a small stele discovered many years ago by the author himself), more surprisingly as a Perses or as a Musos. An epitaph for an Aetolian is a noteworthy sample of a secondary inscription engraved on a stone originally made for an Eretrian citizen. Epitaphs for foreign women - natives from Boeotia, Crete or Epirus - are also worth studying. The author can also demonstrate that some very small fragments published (for the sake of completeness) by V. Petrakos are, in fact, the remains of known tombstones once much better preserved. In the conclusion, he draws the attention to the many still unedited inscriptions of that category (mostly found at random within the modern town): for example a very interesting epitaph for a lyric poet from Neapolis of Campania, to be dated around 100 BC.
