Abstract

Bu makalede Şanlıurfa Müzesi (Antik Edessa) Müzesi’nde sergilenmekte olan 22 adet taş eser tanıtılmaktadır. Bu eserler üç ana gruptan oluşmaktadır: Edessa’dan bir mezar steli, Şanlıurfa Müzesi’ndeki Zeugma buluntusu mezar stelleri ve Şanlıurfa’dan Bizans Dönemi yazıtları. Edessa’dan mezar steli daha önceki yayınlardan bilinmektedir; bu makalede bu stelin yazıtı üzerine yeni epigrafik yorumlar yapılmıştır. Şanlıurfa’daki Zeugma’dan gelmiş olan mezar stellerinin çoğu J. Wagner’in 1976 tarihli yayınında tanıtılmıştır; burada bu eserler epigrafik ve ikonografik olarak yeniden ele alınmışlardır. Makaledeki son dört eser Şanlıurfa İli’nden olup (Antik Osrhoene), bölgenin iyi bilinmeyen Bizans Dönemi epigrafisi kapsamında incelenmektedirler.

Roman Funerary Steles and Byzantine Inscriptions in the Museum of Şanlıurfa

Abstract

This article presents 22 stone objects from the Museum of Şanlıurfa
(ancient Edessa) in southeastern Turkey. There are three groups of objects: a dedication
from Edessa, funerary steles from Zeugma, and Byzantine inscriptions from
Şanlıurfa. The stele from Edessa was known in previous publications; this
article offers a new epigraphic commentary on its inscription (no. 1). Most of
the funerary steles from Zeugma in Şanlıurfa have been known since the
publication of J. Wagner in 1976; here they will be re-treated both
epigraphically and iconographically. Three steles from Zeugma were not
previously published (nos. 7, 9 and 10). The last four objects are from the
province of Şanlıurfa (ancient Osrhoene) and they belong to the Byzantine
period, the epigraphy of which is not known in detail for this region.
