Tomb of Aurelius Onesimos. A large sarcophagus, with rude
garlands, one end broken away and an inscription on the centre
tablet of one side.

“I, Aurelius Onesimos, son of Magnus, the son of Gordos, an
Assian statesman, have bought (this tomb) and subscribed (a document
devoting ?) it to myself and my successors.”
Here v-rre'ypai/ja probably refers to a legal document Siaragis
intended to secure the tomb for his family, and deposited in the
archives. Gordos is a new name.
No. XVIII
The tomb of Hellanikos. So called from the marble inscrip-
tion found in front of the doorway. It was a rectangular foun-
dation 5 m. by 4.35 m. Part of the moulded base course was in
situ together with the door sill, showing the pivot hole for the
door, but the superstructure was destroyed so that complete
restoration is impossible. It was probably an enclosed vaulted
chamber similar to the “Field Tomb.” Several blocks of the
wall courses were found, together with a door lintel, which
had a slot cut in the top, in which was fitted an inscribed slab
of white marble. This was found directly in front broken in
many pieces. (Fig. 1.)

These inscriptions are interesting in many respects. Origi-
nally the slab contained simply two honorary inscriptions of an
official character, side by side, surrounded by an elaborate
moulding. I occupies the left of the panel; II the right. The
persons honored in them were man and wife. Hellanikos be-
longed to the ancient royal family of Assos. In an inscription
from the gymnasium we learn that this family officiated as
priests of Augustus and Zeus Homonoos, whereas in this in-
scription Lollia Arlegilla is priestess and neokoros of Athene
Polias alone.
