By comparing a hitherto neglected passage in the Chronographia of John Malalas with the epigraphic evidence from Patara and other Lycian cities, it reevaluates the chronology of major earthquakes in Lycia and suggests that a destructive event in 115 ce preceded the catastrophe of 141/2 ce. Using recently published inscriptions and a new text presented here for the first time, the study sheds light on the way in which natural disasters influenced urban development, and on the role played by civic benefactors in the region's recovery. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Hesperia is the property of American School of Classical Studies at Athens and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
