The concluding formula gives a Christian modification of a form at
Prymnessos) of curse against violation of the tomb. In reliance on this
the inscription was published as Christian in 1884; and this classifica-
tion was accepted by M. Cumont and is now confirmed by the disclosure
of the word Koip-^T-qpiov. The date is a. d. 250-1; and at that early
time the substitution of a Christian term for the customary word fjpZov
had begun.

In 1884 I mentioned that this inscription was engraved on a sepulchral
homos exactly similar to no. 445, ' belonging certainly to the same period,
probably to the same family: it is therefore also probably Christian/
This conjecture was confirmed in 1887 by the discovery of part of five
letters of the concluding formula. Unfortunately the beginning of the
inscription is concealed by great stones forming part of the building, so
that my attempt at excavating failed. Without the opening words, the
relationship of the second Phrougios is uncertain; possibly Luciana was
the lady who made the tomb for her husband, her father-in-law and
mother-in-law, her son Phrougios, and her adopted child Bassa.
The rare name Phrougios is found also at Kotiaion, Aizanoi, and Lao-
diceia Combusta CIG 3989. A place in the agora of Hieropolis was named
Phrougis (p. 683). On a coin of Alia (p. 594) the name cbPOYTI
occurs, which should probably be completed as <^povyC[ov], though possibly
J. Friedlander may be right in taking it as the Latin name Frugi.
Phrougios is perhaps a derivative from the national name <5>pvy-es.
