The Philadelphia of which the deceased was a native is in all probability Philadelphia-
Amman. ^Accordingly, this inscription seems to indicate that inhabitants of ‘Amman,
like those of various cities in Syria and Palestine (cf. Kubitschek, Imp. Rom. tribut.
descr. p. 257 f., also C.I.L. in 6580 and 6697, I.G.R. hi 1024) were enrolled in the
Tribus Collina. This evidence is strengthened by an inscription from Pannonia Superior
(C.I.L. hi 13483#) commemorating a soldier who was a native of Philadelphia, a member
of the Tribtis Collina, and who had originally served in a company of archers in the
Syrian army.
Marcianus was optio of the hastatus of the first cohort of the legion; cf. C.I.L.
vin 18072 and von Domaszewski, Rangordnung d. rom. Heeres, Bonn. Jalirb. cxvii
(1908), p. 91 f.
The name in 1. 6 is almost certainly Lalla; for in the other instances of the
letter L, especially in 11. 5 and 6, the cross-stroke is very short. The name occurs
not infrequently in inscriptions, e.g. C.I.L. 11 2749, C.I.G. 4224 e, add. p. 1119, and
I.G.R. hi 639; the masculine form is quite common.

Stele. Found in the northwestern part of the city, in the courtyard of a
modern mill. Height 1.41 m. ; width 32-33 cm. The inscription is on a
sunken plate enclosed by a frame. Height of frame 52 cm.; width about
19 cm. The face of the stone is worn, and many of the letters are quite
illegible.
