CENTER FOR ATHENIAN-MAKEDONIAN STUDIES:
PANAYHNAIS IA' - PANATHENAIS XI
11 September 2000 = 4 Dekembr€ou 2007 > 4 December 2007
This study is under preparation, and it has
been awarded a Sabbatical (Fall 2001) and a Connecticut State University
Research Grant [2002-2003].
RELATIVES AMONG THE ATHENIAN PRYTANEIS OF A.D.100-256
The
present study traces by name every relative in the prytany (councillor) rosters
of [A.D.] 100-256 and evaluates the appearance of relatives in clusters (of
more than 2) in the rosters concerned, noting at the same time the method(s) of
inscribing the names.
The
investigation shows that the commonest relatives that appear in clusters (of
more than 2) are brothers and fathers and sons. The brothers, fathers and sons,
as indicated below, are invariably listed
together, but there also instances of deviation from this rule. However, at times these latter
instances may not be related. In
the majority of instances brothers, fathers and sons appear in pairs, but there
are examples of three brothers listed together and fathers with more than one
son. A unique document in this
instance is Agora XV (1974), No. 406 of
the tribe Aigeis which contains four cases of "triplet brothers"
(below) and dates from 171/2.
As the
FATHER-SON instances have been classified, in 84.1% they are listed together,
while in 15.9% they are apart (in two instances separated by a Roman citizen [civis]). In
the category BROTHER-BROTHER the
listings together amount to 86.1%, while separate examples make up the
remaining 13.9%. With the addition
of the 10 cases of "triplet brothers", the percentage distribution is
85.4% and 14.6 respectively.
At any
rate, the evidence on relatives among the Athenian prytaneis (councillors) is
presented in full by categories, with a commentary where appropriate.
