Neue Inschriften aus Bilecik 2

Öz

This paper, in which we introduce new inscriptions found in various villages of Bilecik province, is a continuation of the paper we published in the previous issue of Gephyra (23, 2022). Most of the inscriptions are probably still standing in their find-spots where they were discovered, with an exception inscription number 40, today preserved in the Bilecik museum. We did not see most of the inscriptions in person, but we attempted to read them from the photographs and hand-copies that the museum staff had made and provided me (N. E. Akyürek Şahin) many years ago. At that time, I was asked to read and translate these inscriptions, and I had obtained the publication rights of these monuments. During my work at the Bilecik Museum, we had the opportunity to visit the find-spot of the inscription number 5 accompanied by the museum staff and recorded it. We have categorized the inscriptions according to their find-spots, i.e. the districts of Bilecik province. The inscriptions predominantly consist of funerary inscriptions of a similar type, while there are two epigrams (nos. 31-32) and a few Christian inscriptions dating from Late Antiquity (nos. 34-36 and 39). In general, the inscriptions mainly date from the 2nd or 3rd centuries A.D.

New Inscriptions from Bilecik 2

Abstract

This paper, in which we introduce new inscriptions found in various villages of Bilecik province, is a continuation of the paper we published in the previous issue of Gephyra (23, 2022). Most of the inscriptions are probably still standing in their find-spots where they were discovered, with an exception inscription number 40, today preserved in the Bilecik museum. We did not see most of the inscriptions in person, but we attempted to read them from the photographs and hand-copies that the museum staff had made and provided me (N. E. Akyürek Şahin) many years ago. At that time, I was asked to read and translate these inscriptions, and I had obtained the publication rights of these monuments. During my work at the Bilecik Museum, we had the opportunity to visit the find-spot of the inscription number 5 accompanied by the museum staff and recorded it. We have categorized the inscriptions according to their find-spots, i.e. the districts of Bilecik province. The inscriptions predominantly consist of funerary inscriptions of a similar type, while there are two epigrams (nos. 31-32) and a few Christian inscriptions dating from Late Antiquity (nos. 34-36 and 39). In general, the inscriptions mainly date from the 2nd or 3rd centuries A.D.

Bilecik’ten Yeni Yazıtlar 2

Öz

Bu makale, Gephyra dergisinin bir önceki sayısında (23, 2022) yayınladığımız makalenin devamı niteliğindedir. Makalede Bilecik ilinin çeşitli köylerinde bulunan (no. 5 ve 16 hariç) yeni yazıtları inceliyoruz. Yazıtların çoğu olasılıkla hâlâ keşfedildikleri yerlerde duruyor olmalıdırlar. Sadece 40 numaralı yazıt bugün Bilecik Müzesi’ndedir. Yazıtların birçoğunu kendimiz görmedik, ancak müze çalışanlarının yıllar önce toplayıp fotoğraflarıyla birlikte bana (N. E. Akyürek Şahin) gönderdikleri kayıtların fotoğraflarından ve el kopyalarından okumaya çalıştık. O dönemde benden bu yazıtları okumam ve tercüme etmem istenmişti ve ben de eserlerin o dönemde yayın haklarını almıştım. Bilecik Müzesi’ndeki çalışmalarım sırasında müze yetkilileri eşliğinde 5 numaralı yazıtın bulunduğu yere gidip onu kaydetme fırsatımız oldu. Yazıtları makalede bulundukları yerlere göre, yani Bilecik ilinin ilçelerine göre gruplandırdık. Yazıtlar yine ağırlıklı olarak mezar yazıtlarından oluşmaktadır. Birkaç epigram (no. 31-32; 40) ve birkaç tane de Hıristiyanlık Dönemi’ne (no. 34-36 ve 39) ait yazıt vardır. Yazıtlar genelde İ. S. 2. veya 3. yüzyıllardan kalmadır.
