The name Εὔδημος is also found in this region at Orkistos in eastern Phrygia (MAMA VII 304: M. Aurelius Eudemos); cf. the name Εὐδήμων at Vetissos (Sinanlı: MAMA VII 316; Waelkens 1986: 237-8, no.610). For the pleonastic τούτου in line 4, cf. e.g. SEG 37, 1072 (Nikomedeia): Αὐρ. Ἡράκλις Γαίου... κὲ ἡ τούτου γυνὴ Αὐρ. Ἀντωνίνα ἐποήσομεν κτλ. My restoration in lines 5-6 assumes that Eudemos’ wife carried the gentilician Αἰμιλία; cf. I.Ankara 185 (Μαρκία Αἰμιλία Ἀθηναίς). Αἰμιλία is also attested as a personal name in its own right in this region: cf. RECAM II 120 (Tutlu).
