Abstract

Un’iscrizione rinvenuta a Tiatira in Lidia ricorda un “archiatra di tutto quanto lo xystos”, carica altrove non attestata epigraficamente. Il confronto con una costituzione imperiale e con numerose testimonianze epigrafiche permette tuttavia non soltanto di chiarire la specifica funzione di questa peculiare figura, ma anche di proporre una possibile datazione del testo iscritto.

 

An inscription found in Thyateira (Asia Minor, Lydia) remembers a “chief physician of the whole xystos”, office elsewhere not attested epigraphically. The comparison with an imperial constitution and numerous epigraphic testimonies, however, not only clarifies the specific function of this peculiar figure, but also proposes a possible dating of the carved text.
