Abstract :This paper re-publishes three inscribed garlanded altars from Lycia preserved in the Museum of Antalya and provides corrected information on their findspots as well as some improved readings, which enables new considerations about the identities of the persons documented in them. The first inscribed altar comes most probably from Xanthos in Lycia, but not from Pogla in Pisidia, and records, among others, a man named Niketes, son of Hegemon, who is probably identical with Niketes, son of Hegemon, known from another Xanthian inscription as a sacred herald (hierokeryx) of the Lycian League. The maternal grandfather of Niketes was called Hegemon, not Ktemon, making it likely that his mother had married a close relative. The second inscribed altar, published without provenance, comes from Patara and documents a woman named Parapsyche – she is the only person bearing this name in the entire database of LGPN. This attestation can now be attributed to Patara. Parapsyche set up the altar for her mistress (kyria) Arsasis (but not for Arsasis, daughter of Kyrtas), who may be identical with Arsasis, daughter of Arteimas, recorded on the third inscribed altar, whose provenance is unknown but whose inscription strongly points to Patara.
Keywords : Girlandlı mezar sunağı, Lykia, Lykia Birliği kutsal habercisi, Parapsykhe.
