Abstract

THE TEMPLE OF ZEUS OLYMPIUS AT GERASA has yielded several inscribed dedications, which identify for us the god of the place.' Three texts derive from one man, Theon, who was a suppliant in the temple in A.D. 69/70. The few scholars who have tried to reconstruct his story are greatly at variance. R. O. Fink thought that he was a Gerasene who dedicated his children to the god as sacred slaves in some oriental manner.2 Welles (1938: 377), who knew from another inscription (I. Gerasa no. 30) that Gerasa had the civic title "sacred and inviolable," thought that Theon had availed himself of a Greek privilege and taken refuge in Gerasa from some other city. Theon's case is worth exploring, as this is one of the rare episodes of temple-refuge in the documentary record. We have two stones, which contain between them three texts inscribed by three hands.3 I. Gerasa no. 5:
