IV. NAME AND TERMINOLOGY

ii.

Name elements

Personal:	hoi syn Eu[rythemid]ioi: Thecompound Eurythemidioi is largely restored by Hiller von Gaertringen (IG XII.3 104). Although a personal name (Eurythemios) cannot be ruled out, it is nonetheless unattested. A group of Eurythemieioi is attested in Camiros (IG XII.1, 695 col. III, l. 6). The name may perhaps derive from an epithet for Hades, 'eurythemilos' (i.e. with broad foundations).
Theophoric:	Dionysos

Status

The honorand, Gnomagoras, son of Dorotheos, Neisyrios, was a high-profile individual, holding high-ranked offices, performing services in the sacred and civic sphere. He was commander of a triemiolia, assumed the office of damiourgos (eponymous magistrate) and held the office of gymnasiarchy. During his gymnasiarchy, he supplied oil for 13 months to all freeborn citizens and his benevolence extended to those settling in Nisyros and to foreign residents. He was honoured by a number of public and private bodies. He showed his adherence to the imperial power, by serving as priest of the imperial cult (IG XII.3 104). He was crowned with multiple golden crowns by the boule and honoured by a number of private associations:
- Hermaizontes: CAP Inv. 104
- Aphrodiastai Syroi: CAP Inv. 105
- Dios Milichiastai: CAP Inv. 106
