The name Καλπούρνιος is very widespread in Lykaonia; it appears at Savatra in MAMA VIII 255. In line 8, the personal name could be read as either Δουδ̣ῃ̣ or Δούλ̣ῃ̣. The names Δοῦλος and Δουλίων are found across Asia Minor (in Lykaonia, Αὐρ. Δοῦλος Καλπορνίου at Sizma: SEG 6, 399), but I am unable to find an example of the female equivalent Δούλη. The name Δουδη/Δουδα, by contrast, is extremely common throughout Galatia and Lykaonia (Zgusta 1964: 153 §306-1; MAMA XI 258 [1957/88: Ladık]; MAMA XI 261 [1957/83: Nevine/Bahçesaray]).
