| Summary: | Arneai is a city on the southern slope of Susuz Dağları (mountains poor
in water resource: western course of the ancient Masikytos), some 650 metres
above sea level. The city's name can nowhere be read with certainty on the
Stadiasmus Patarensis. However, Arneai was situated on a crossroads within the
road system represented on the Stadiasmos, as is to be expected because of both
the extant remains of roads in the region and a well-known inscription
mentioning the conversion of a gymnasium into a parochion (public guest-house).
The article's focus is on the members of a noble urban family of Arneai, who
are more or less comparable with the Dionysii from the neighbouring mountain
city of Neisa. The epigraphic material enables distinction between four
different Teimarchi amongst the members of this family; one of them even
attained the post of Lykiarch and is probably to be identified with Teimarchos
III, who presumably lived in the late Antonine period. If so, Archepolis, the
Lykiarch of 156 CE, was his father. |
