Dionysios and bis brother Straton prepared their grave (B). Dionysios
died first a.d. 236, on the eleventh day of the ninth month (A); and
his brother, his son, and his wife, united in his burial (C). This in-
scription shows that the praenomen Aur. is sometimes added, sometimes
omitted, in writing a name (as has been pointed out above p. 314).

The epithets attached to the name of Justa are remarkable: Justa was
connected with two towns, Sebaste and Preiza". Now between Sebaste
and Eumeneia (or Peltai) lies a city Bria, whose name (meaning ' city' in
Phrygo-Macedonian languages, p. 577) is connected with an interesting
and wide-spread series of words. The goddess of Pamphylian Perga is
named on coins Wanassa Preiia 3, ' the Pergaean Queen' : this implies
that there existed a by-form Pria (or Preia) alongside of Perga, and we
remember that Ahrens long ago explained TlpCa[ios with its Aeolic equi-
valent TIeppafj.os (i.e. Uipjap.os) as forms of the name Uepyap.os. Now
in this series of names there was a dialectic variation between initial
n and B (nvpyos and Burgh) 4; and hence we see that alongside of Bria
there must have been a form Berga, like Pria with Perga. Further the
modern name of Bria is Burgas, which we now see to be a survival of
the ancient name. Again as Perga-Pria and Berga-Bria are equi-
valent forms, so Brioula in Lydia and Bergoula in Thrace are equivalent
diminutive forms5 of the same name; and hence it is natural to find
Bergoula still called Burgas, preserving the ancient name. See no. 489.

Now we return to the form npu(r)v6$. Fick has shown that in
