XII.—UNCERTAIN LOCALITIES.
Nos. 1107—1155.

MCVII.

UNCERTAIN LOCALITY (Parion?).
1107. Stele of white marble, with acroteria. That on the 1. has been broken away, as has also the central one, for which there is
a dowel-hole for separate insertion. Immediately beneath the gable is the inscription in small characters crowded together. Total
ht. 3 ft. 6^ in.; width (above) 1 ft. 8^·ΐη., (below) 1 ft. yin. Below the inscription 34 in. of marble are left plain, evidently for
a painting now faded away. Cf. No. 1036. C. I. G. 3648, where references to the earlier literature are given. Add Kaibel,
Epigr. Gr. 86. Boeckh says : ‘ Titulus ubi repertus sit, non constat: rettuli ad urbem Parium, utpote patriam defunctorum, nec
facile potuit alio atque ibi loco positus esse.’

Δΐξίτρεφης : Ζωΐλου ; Παριηνδς ; στρατιώτης : Δημοφών ; Μητροδώρου
Παριηνός : στρατιώτης ;
Μνήμα φίλη μητηρ μζ Δ ιειτρεφεί ίνθάδ’ %θ\ηκεν
και Πξρικλώΐ φθιμίνοιν ΜφΡτρίχη αίνόμορος,
Άγνηίς τ’ ίνθά\δε οί θυγάτηρ και άδώλφδς εχουσιν
μοΐρ(αν) Δημοφώων || της μίτα ττάσι βροτοΐς.

The last four lines (omitting the first two words)
make two elegiac couplets, but the metre is not
always unforced. Thus Άγνηίς has to be scanned as
a disyllable.
The inscription appears to be of the latter part of
the fifth century b. c. The letters are really written
στοιχηδόν, though the punctuation marks sometimes
take the place of letters. The inscription belonged

to the Elgin Collection (cf. B. M. Synopsis, 1817,
p. 130, No. 172).
1. 2. Παριηνός. ‘ Of Parion’ on the Hellespont.
Metriche apparently married twice. By one
husband, Zoilos, she seems to have had two sons—
Dieitrephes and Perikles ; by the other, Metrodoros,
a son and daughter, Demophon and Agneis. Diei-
trephes and Demophon are apparently placed first
as soldiers.
