Abstract:
J.-Cl. Richard and J. Gascou. — New inscriptions from Murviel-les-Montpellier (Hérault), Revue Archéologique de Nar- bonnaise, t. 25, 1992, p. 443-454. This study deals with new inscriptions from Murviel les Montpellier : one of them mentions a freed slave, Caius Messius Sulla ; the inscription kept in Montpellier and already listed in the CIL, XI 1 (N° 4202) had not been read by O. Hirschfeld and its exact origin was unknown. Thanks to a second inscription recently discovered in Murviel and bearing the name of the owner of the freed slave mentioned above, Caius Messius Balbus, and very likely like the latter one can suppose that both inscriptions originated from the same place. The third inscription also found in Murviel and known since the 17th century, was once considered as made up by O. Hirschfeld and published among the falsae (CIL, XII, 272*). Thanks to this new discovery and to another reading which was then done, and which was recently confirmed, correcting the text of the CIL, it is possible to establish with centainty its authenticity.
