Titus Annius
Isidorus.
Location in length (? feet)
width 9 (feet).
The name Isidorus is on a grave inscription. Isidorus and Isidora are onomastic derivations of the name Isis. The meaning is: one who is given by Isis, or: gift of Isis. Malaise cited 107 men's names in Italy derived from Isis, as well as 97 women's names (Condit, 1972: 42). Titus Annius Isidorus bears the theophorus cognomen, which may point to his affinity for the cult of Isis.
