this contribution we introduce some new ancient Greek inscriptions from the
Bursa Museum. Of the 36 artefacts, the first four are dedications, while the
remaining are funerary stones. Six funerary stelai do not bear any
inscriptions. The provenance of some artefacts unfortunately remain unknown,
but in general they were brought to the museum from Bursa province and its
environs such as the districts of Nilüfer, İnegöl, Orhaneli, Harmancık, Keles,
Gemlik, Karacabey and Orhangazi, as well as from the province of Yalova. The
ex-votos are offered to Meter Taurene, Men Tauropoleites, Zeus Kersoullos and
Apollon. The funerary inscriptions are humble, but apart from contributing to
the already rich onomastics of Bithynia Mysia, they also provide some
interesting information, such as concerning a freedman (no. 5), a new phyle
called Protinia (no. 10), the posthumous honouring of a woman doctor (no. 11), and,
a teacher (no. 16). The inscriptions mostly date to the Roman Imperial Period,
but there are also a few Hellenistic examples (nos. 13, 19, 24, 25). </span> <br />}, publisher={Nalan Eda AKYÜREK ŞAHİN}
