| Summary: | This paper offers the first full publication of the inscriptions on the seats of the odeum at Gerasa (Jerash, Jordan). The inscriptions designate 12 sections in the ima cavea for the civic tribes of Gerasa and one larger section to be occupied by a distinct group, probably the town council (boule). One later inscription designates a section for the linen workers. The inscriptions elucidate the organization of a theater audience in the high empire in a provincial context. The addition of the linen workers may reflect social changes in the later empire. |
