A macedonian woman in Pieria called "Hellas"

[Flipper]

I came through an inscription that is not yet published in the epigraphical database of Ohio University.

It is a dedication of a citizen of Veria, his wife Hellas and their son Menandros. Now we can add one more macedonian with not just a Greek name but the name of her country!!!

Unpublished dedication of citizen of Βέροια, his wife Ἑλλάς, and their son Μένανδρος

We need to get info about this inscription asap. How would the skops explain that a macedonian woman calls herself the name of her country?

Yet another piece of evidence. I am sure they would have given up with all the support that is already there although they are crazy.

This is great news however. can you get references at least?

Yeah, I will try to find more info. Can be hard though if the inscription is fresh.
