Abstract: In this article some prosopographic and onomastic corrections to inscriptions from Asia Minor are suggested. In an epitaph from Kibyra the hitherto unattested female name Καπε­τώλει(ο)ν is proposed. In another epitaph, now in the Izmir Museum, the word Δέρᾳ is in­ter­preted as δέρα, a form of the accusative to δαήρ, “brother in law”. An epitaph from Halicar­nassus contains the new name Κονοῦς (in the genitive Κονοῦδος) and the anthroponym Χαιρέα (gen.) instead of the published χαῖρε ἄ(λυπε?). Two other texts from the same city are com­ment­ed upon: in one of them, the reading is slightly changed (Αὐ., not Αὐρ., for Αὐρήλιος) and a remark on the term ἀναπαλλοτρίωτος is made; in the second, an omikron is corrected to ome­ga in two cases with the effect that the text is to be restored and understood differently, i.e. as a votive inscription of Tryphon and his children. Another votive inscription, also from Halicar­nas­sus, is read and reconstructed in a way different from that of the ed.pr.; it seems to be a dedi­cation to Zeus with an illegible epithet, erected by two men, the wife of one of them, and several children.

Keywords: Kibyra; Museum Izmir; Halicarnassus; anthroponyms; corrections.
