Amongst the series of tituli which I copied from the southern face of the wall 
encircling the site of the ancient town, there are three of a remarkable character,* 
recording honours which had been decreed to the three sons of a citizen of 
eminence named Callias, to wit, Zeno, Callias, and Eudamus, of whom their 
parents had been successively deprived by a series of casualties (Evppopai, 
aruxnara), as also the condolence of the authorities, in all the three instances, 
with certain of the surviving relatives of the deceased. 
I select the first of these, in particular, or that which mentions the death of 
Zeno, as a type of the rest. 
The preamble recounted most probably the deserts of Callias, as a patriotic 
citizen, and includes a recommendation to him of a patient endurance of the 
calamitous occurrence. The inscription then proceeds :

the People, that honours be paid to Zeno

even after his decease, and that both statues of him, 
and decorated sculptures, and likenesses, be set up 
in quarters as well consecrated, as of public resort, 
by Callias his father, etc. 
Taking this in connexion (which, perhaps, we are authorized to do, from the

warrantable hypothesis to assume, that the deceased Zeno had met his death 
during the struggle of the chase? Zupudopa (written cvypopa) is the term in 
this inscription, expressive of the event which had elicited this manifestation of 
their sympathies from the rulers of Aphrodisias, and it is certain that a more
