| Summary: | This article engages with an eight-line Greek inscription within a tabula ansata, found in the Samaria region, but whose exact provenance is unknown. It can be assumed that the origin of the inscription, engraved on a limestone column, is from Samaria-Sebaste. The text describes the erection and payment of the expenses of a votive bronze statue in honour of Poseidon by a son and his father, both councillors (bouleutai), in the early seventies of the 4th century CE. Cet article s’intéresse à une inscription grecque de huit lignes dans une , trouvée dans la région de Samarie, mais dont la provenance exacte est inconnue. On peut supposer que l’origine de l’inscription, gravée sur une colonne de calcaire, est de Samarie-Sébaste. Le texte décrit l’érection et le paiement des frais d’une statue votive en bronze en l’honneur de Poséidon par un fils et son père, tous deux conseillers (), au début des années soixante-dix du IVe siècle de notre ère. |
