New Funerary Stelae and Inscriptions from the Territory of Idyma

Abstract

In this paper, four grave stelae from Muğla Museum are studied. The stelae were found in the year 2010 in the territory of Idyma, an ancient city of south-western Caria. Findspot of the stelae is the İnişdibi region of Akyaka, which is situated at the eastern coast of Gökova Bay. Three of the stelae carry funerary inscriptions in Greek along the reliefs, and one is uninscribed. The stelae are studied by two authors with the aim of making a comparative study in both epigraphic and stylistic terms. Thus, stylistic evaluations of the reliefs are studied besides deciphering, dating and translating the inscriptions.
