Abstract: This article presents twelve lead balance weights from the Roman Imperial period at the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum. Oğuz Tekin previously published these weights in the catalog as part of the Corpus Ponderum Antiquorum et Islamicorum (CPAI) project, which documents the balance weights in museum collections in Türkiye. In the catalog, Tekin left the epigraphic autopsy and possible solutions for the marketplace officials mentioned on the weights for further research. For this reason, this article focuses on the epigraphy of some of these balance weights. This article reviews these inscriptions and provides addenda and corrigenda to them. The findings presented here significantly improve our comprehension of the names of the marketplace officials on the balance weights originating from ‘Western Asia Minor’. The names of these new marketplace officials are as follows: 1) P. Aelius Marcellus (corrigendum), 2) M. Aurelius Metrodoros, 3) M. Aurelius Neratius Philometor (corrigendum), 4) Flavius Aristion (corrigendum et addendum), 5) Tib. Flavius Meliton (corrigendum et addendum), 6) Iulius Claudius Modestus (corrigendum), 7) Iulius Hermolaos and Claudius Genesios (corrigen­dum), 8) Tatianus (corrigendum), 9) Apollonios, Varus, Hermippos, 10) P. Aelius Hermippos (corrigendum et ad­dendum), 11) Apollonios (corrigendum), 12) Tib. Claudius Varus (corrigendum).

Öz: Bu makalede Suna ve İnan Kıraç Vakfı Pera Müzesi’nde bulunan Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’ne ait on iki kurşun terazi ağırlığı tanıtılmaktadır. Bu ağırlıkları daha önce Oğuz Tekin Corpus Ponderum et Antiquorum et Isla­morum (CPAI) projesi için hazırlamış olduğu, Türkiye’deki müze koleksiyonlarında yer alan terazi ağırlıklarını bel­geleyen katalogda yayımlamıştır. Tekin, katalogda epigrafik otopsi ve ağırlıklarda geçen pazar yeri sorumluları için olası çözümleri daha ileride yapılacak araştırmalara bırakmıştır. Bu nedenden ötürü, bu makale bazı terazi ağırlık­larının epigrafisine odaklanmaktadır. Bu makale yazıtları yeniden gözden geçirmiştir ve bunlara addenda ve cor­rigenda yapmıştır. Burada sunulan bulgular, Batı Asia Minor kökenli terazi ağırlıklarının üzerinde bulunan pazar yeri sorumlularının isimlerini anlamamızı önemli ölçüde geliştirmektedir. Bu yeni ‘pazar yeri sorumlularının adları şöyledir: 1) P. Aelius Marcellus (corrigendum), 2) M. Aurelius Metrodoros, 3) M. Aurelius Neratius Philometor (corrigendum), 4) Flavius Aristion (corrigendum et addendum), 5) Tib. Flavius Meliton (corrigendum et adden­dum), 6) Iulius Claudius Modestus (corrigendum), 7) Iulius Hermolaos ve Claudius Genesios (corrigendum), 8) Tatianus (corrigendum), 9) Apollonios, Varus, Hermippos, 10) P. Aelius Hermippos (corrigendum et addendum), 11) Apollonios (corrigendum), 12) Tib. Claudius Varus (corrigendum).
