Abstract (english)
This paper concerns a marble dedicatory plaque inscribed in Greek in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Comprising six lines of exceptional lettering, it was dedicated on behalf of Ptolemy IV Philopater and Ptolemy V Epiphanes by Komon, son of Asklepiades, identified also as oikonomos in the region of the Greek settlement at Naukratis. The presence of marble is of great interest because of the rarity of its occurrence in Egypt. Initial testing of the stone was conducted by Norman Herz, University of Georgia, who suggested three possible quarries using isotopic analysis: Doliana, Thassos/Akropolis, and Afyon. The recent study by Donato Attanasio, Istituto di Struttura della Materia del CNR in Rome, includes MGS and EPR properties in the analysis. The results indicate (although attended by some doubts) that the marble is Dokimeion from Afyon or, perhaps, Altintas, thus contributing to further discussion of Dokimeion’s range of signatures.
