Abstract:<\/strong> This study presents a newly discovered inscription from Magnesia ad Maeandrum, found in 2021 and dated to the late 1st century CE or early 2nd century CE. The text preserves the public actions of a woman named Tryphosa, who honoured the memory of her husband Democharis through gestures of civic generosity and religious responsibility. The boule and the demos honoured Democharis for his inherited civic standing, the dignity of his character and his service as agoranomos. After his death, Tryphosa, identified as his wife and as a priestess, undertook several initiatives that affected the civic community at large. She set up a monument in his honour, financed distributions of olive oil in the gymnasia and provided funds for the philosebastos boule in accordance with his instructions. The inscription places commemoration, religious office and civic benefaction within the same public setting and makes clear that Tryphosa was the central figure in turning the memory of Democharis into visible civic action.<\/p>\n
