Eleutheria

Abstract: This article presents 33 Greek inscriptions found at Aphrodisias between 1995 and 2001. They include an honorary decree, honorary inscriptions of other types, statue bases, dedications, building inscriptions, epitaphs, and a sundial. The most important new text is an honorary inscription on a statue base set up by the prominent philosopher Alexander of Aphrodisias for his father (4). An unusually early inscription is a posthumous honorary decree for a prominent local citizen (1), which records his achievements probably during the wars and diplomatic exchanges of the first century B.C. The other new texts provide information about cults (Thea Eleutheria: 8; Zeus Nineudios: 11; Hephaistos: 15), the date of the Civil Basilica (14; under Domitian?), gladiatorial competitions (21-22), the prosopography of the city, occupations (11: a bronze-smith; 28: an agent of Fulvia Cervidia Vestina, member of a senatorial family, who probably owned land nearAphrodisias), and the relations between Aphrodisias and the Roman provincial administration (23 and 26).

Abstract: (1) Aspecies of "Eleutheria" is found in fair abundance at certain times and places at the Cape of Good Hope. (2) It can readily be kept in confinement, and some of its habits are noted. (3) The chief characteristics of the species are described and compared with those of other southern species. (4) Its hydroid form has been found, and proves to be very similar to that of Cladonema (Stauridia), not of Eleutheria (Clavatella). (5) It differs, however, from Cladonema chiefly in the absence of oral tentacles, and a, new genus (Cnidonema) is proposed for the reception of this and probably all the other southern Eleutheria, the hydroid forms of which, however, are not yet known.
