TO THE PUBLISHING OF A NEW EPITAPH FROM THE SITE OF ARTEZIAN IN THE EAST CRIMEA
The article deals with the new epitaph which has been discovered during excavations at the site of Artezian in East Crimea in 2022. It was first published by N.I. Vinokurov and V.P. Yailenko in PIFK 2 (2022), but so far as there are some mistakes and misreading inthe text of the inscription, the author decided to correct them and give a wider commentary, concerning the personal names of the buried people and the inscriptions’ dating. The name of the buried woman should be restored as Ἀγαλ̣ίν, her husband’s name was probably Ῥαμνη̣[γου]? while their sons were named Sanos or presumably San(n)as and Πάρ[δα] / λος. The text gives an evident alternation of vocativus, genitivus and accusatives which corresponds to the style of Bosporan inscription in the Roman period. The author makes a more precise dating of the first epitaph in favor of the early given period - late second quarter - third quarter of the 1st century AD, having argued the V.P. Yailenko’s date as the late 1st - 2nd century AD.
