3H IX. PHRYGIAN CITIES ON PISIDIAN FRONTIER.
It is worthy of note also that the same persons are mentioned some-
times with thepraenomen Aur. and sometimes without it: e. g. St. 38 A 5
and 53 C 25.
In the lists a few trades are mentioned, a stone-cutter or sculptor
38 A 11 (cp. also nos. 120, 185, 186, 189), a carpenter §3 B 32, a shoe-
maker 41 A 20 (reading owreos), a willow-plaiter {kvyoarpo-nos [ir for
<p], a word unknown to Stephanus) 47 C 10.
Some interesting names are Kobellis (connected with Kabalis? or
Kybele ?), Kadauas or Kadouas (KaboFas connected with Kdboi or KdboFoi
a Phrygian town-name, ethnic KaboFrjvos), Kidramoas or Kidramas
(connected with a Carian or Phrygian town-name Kidramos), Osais,
Molyx, Moundion, Moungos or Mongos, Ispatalos (Spatalos), Iskalos,
Kourpas, Daron, Tydraeon? (43,-22), Milax or Millax, Draukon, Kikkos,
Bilbos, Boriskos, Sournos, Daos (AdFos, 6&s, jackal), Kuburos or Kiburos
(conn, with Cibyra), Ouadaros, Midas (perhaps a literary innovation),
Moalis (cp. Moagetes king of Cibyra), Bromios, Sataras, Kadourkos,
Biron, Vavas, Manes. The Phrygian type of these names (as contrasted
with the Pisidian richness in vowels see p. 270) is obvious; and this
justifies Strabo's ethnological statement (see pp. 286, 278).
The existence of two inscriptions (nos. 113, 114) mentioning a freed-
man and a slave {dispensator) of M. Calpurnius Longus, and the occur-
rence of the name Calpurnius among the Pisidian inhabitants, suggest
that some member of that gens had been an important figure in the
history of the estates. The name seems to be used as a species of prae-
nomen and is usually abbreviated Kal. or Ka * (like praenomen Aur. in the
third century), and it passes from father to son as a, praenomen, {53 C 12 ;
18; 24; 7 2 C 3; 38 A 1; and probably also 53 C 8 ; 23 ; 29, and possibly
72 A 2; 53 B 24. 31). Pansa also was a common name in the district
(38 A 14 [perhaps B 37 2] ; 43, 12 ; 72 A 19; 72 B 1; 38 B 23 Kdo-tos
[8ts Tidvaa ?]). Was a Calpurnius or a Pansa at some time owner of the
estates, or governor of the province ?
The character of the engraving in the inscriptions must be taken into
account. It is done hastily by different hands, at different times, and is
often very inaccurate and as a rule scra.tchy and difficult. Hence it is
difficult to distinguish between M and A A, f and T and IT, N and TT,
and so on. A careful study of the inscriptions followed by a comparison
of the copies with the original stones would probably add much to our
knowledge.
