474 XI. APAMEIA.

Mordios as a personal name seems to occur only here: it is connected
with Mordiaion, the old name of Apollonia Pisidiae. Morzios and
Morzeos, which are found in Asia Minor, are variants of Mordios; cf.
Nazianzos and Nadiandos (Philostorg. Hist. Secies. VIII n), Zi^i/uiv^
and Aivhvjj.r]vr\ as epithets of Cybele (Hist. Geogr. p. 327 n, At A. Mitth.
1888 p. 337).

Varius L. F. Fab. Maximus pater (centurio) leg(ionis) VII Cl(audiae).

This inscription must be later than 42 when legio VII received from
Claudius the titles Claudia Pia Fidelis. The legion was stationed in
Moesia from 71 onwards. Varius Maximus was probably detached on
some special duty and stationed at Apameia, perhaps to be at the orders
of the fiscal officials.

329. (R. 1888). CIL III 367, 7056, omitting the Greek text (which
Ar. puts on the wrong side). (A) [OvaXepios 'lovXiavos 'lovXtav?^ km,

(centurio) Leg. VII CI. coiu[gi\. II(ic) s(ita) e(st).

The Latin inscription is the work of an uneducated person, who could
not use the formulae correctly; and the letters are rudely engraved.
The letter F was omitted by the engraver in the first line; and parts
of vixit and Julianus were omitted. In bilingual inscr. the Latin gene-
rally comes first; another exception occurs no. 307.

Here again as in no. 328 we have a centurion detached from legio VII
and residing with his family at Apameia.

This bilingual inscription was engraved on two blocks of limestone in
the wall of a heroon. The Greek inscription was engraved in long lines
extending over one stone and encroaching on the next, It is dated
a.d. 170-1, and was composed when husband and wife were both living ;

Less correctly CIL III 366.
