Greek Onomastic Evidence from Pharos (4th to 1st c. BC)

The archaeological and historical research of Pharos has yielded relatively scarce prosopographic and onomastic data. There are about 40 people and about 25 names recorded mostly in inscriptions on stone, as well as in the lead tablets from Dodona, on pottery fragments, and in literary sources. This paucity precludes most prosopographic research, but the available evidence is compiled and described. The hapax legomena and rare names are discussed in detail and it is shown that despite some attempts to explain them as non-Greek, all of the presently known names can be convincingly interpreted as Greek names. As far as currently possible, the evidence is also analysed in relation to the comparable data from the metropolis and from the other Adriatic poleis.
