Ἀστύνομος

In IG XII.3, the name was read by Hiller as Ἀστύμονος; in Suppl. p. 88, the editor hypothesized an error in the spelling of the name for Ἀστύνομος. However, direct examination and subsequently the rubbing have unequivocally shown that the name is correctly written, so the correct reading is Ἀστύνομος. That it is an anthroponym is quite plausible given the archaeological context of the discovery, which features male proper names and names of deities. Further analysis of ancient sources has revealed that the term ἀστυνόμος is not attested in Homer or Hesiod but is first used by Pindar as an adjective for civic festivals, then by Aeschylus as an adjective for gods, and by Sophocles as an adjective for ὀργάς. Laroche considers ἀστυνόμος to be a common noun used as a proper name, distinguished by its accent (in the classification of 4th-century BCE anthroponyms, the scholar does not mention the Theran name). From a semantic point of view, it should be considered derived from the meaning of νέμω as "to administer" or "to govern."
