Kali

Kali (Kalij, Kalija)

Nadgrobni natpis posvećen junaku Kaliji, Arheološki muzej Split, Vis (antička Issa), zbirka Dojmi, 4. st. pr. Kr.

Nadgrobni spomenik (stela ili titul) na sebi nosi zasad najstariji grčki natpis u stihovima pronađen u Hrvatskoj. Natpis na jonskom narječju u četiri retka časti junaka Kaliju koji je poginuo u pomorskoj bitci s Ilirima i za sobom ostavio sinčića Harma. S obzirom na sadržaj teksta te neuobičajen oblik spomenika u odnosu na druge isejske nadgrobne spomenike iz tog razdoblja, pretpostavlja se mogućnost Kalijine pogibije pri osnutku Staroga Grada (antički Pharos), parske naseobine na Hvaru; njegovo bi tijelo prema tome bilo izgubljeno u pomorskoj bitci, pa je dopadljiva pretpostavka kako je riječ o kenotafu, spomeniku postavljenom nad praznim grobom.

Translation:

The tombstone (stela or titul) currently bears the oldest Greek inscription in verse found in Croatia. An inscription in the Ionian dialect in four lines honors the hero Kali who died in a naval battle with the Illyrians and left behind his son Harm. Considering the content of the text and the unusual shape of the monument in relation to other Isaiah tombstones from that period, the possibility of Kali's death at the founding of the Old Town (ancient Pharos), a pair settlement on Hvar, is assumed; his body would therefore be lost in a naval battle, so it is a pleasing assumption that it is a cenotaph, a monument erected over an empty tomb.
