THREE NEW INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE ACROPOLĂ CENTRU-SUD SECTOR IN ISTROS
THREE NEW INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE ACROPOLĂ CENTRU-SUD SECTOR IN ISTROS

Summary/Abstract: The present article presents three inscriptions discovered during excavations undertaken by the team from the University of Bucharest in Istros (Istria, Constanța County, Romania), in the Acropolă Centru-Sud (Acropolis Centre-South) Sector, since 2013. All three were found in a secondary position (fig. 2) and are very badly preserved or highly fragmentary. From the first (no. 1, fig. 3, dated to the 3rd c. BC) only the popular name Dionysios and probably letters from a patronym are preserved; the second (no. 2, fig. 4, late Hellenistic-early Roman) has preserved four letters of another popular name in Istros, Artemidoros, while from the third (no. 3, fig. 6, 3rd-1st c. BC) only the letters TPI are left, from the dative singular in the 3rd declension of the name of a deity – the Mother of Gods of, more likely, Demeter.
