New Texts on the Artemision of Ephesos III: Neopoioi Inscriptions
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.36991/PHILIA.2022010Abstract
The Neopoioi were not only responsible for building and repairing measures in the Artemision, but also for its safety and administration. In preparation for a corpus fascicle (TAM VI 1: cult personnel of Artemis) I publish in this article eight new inscriptions from Ephesos that mention neopoioi. Due to their fragmentary condition, the type of inscription could not always be determined beyond doubt, but no. 1–4 are presumably lists and dedications. The Caesia mentioned in no. 2 is likely identical with an already known female prytanis. In no. 8 the adjective νεοποιϊκός is attested for the first time in Ephesos.
