Chñtabura und Chinaχa oder lykisches Dynasten-Gedenken

Abstract

On his sarcophagus in Limyra, Khñtabura is shown standing naked between two old seated men designated as Araχa and Khinaχa. The second one could be the dynast Khinaχa, who minted coins at Limyra much earlier, because there are other cases of cultivating the memory of dynasts in inscriptions, also Greek inscriptions in Hellenistic times, and even of honouring the pillar tombs of dynasts in Byzantine times. Here Khinaχa is probably commemorated as an ancestor of Khñtabura.
