A Rock-cut Tomb from Arpacık Boyalı Mevkii with an Inscription in Lycian
Abstract
The research project entitled “Byzantine Settlements around Alacadağ in the Lycian Region” has been underway since 2014 with the aim of identifying and documenting Late Antique and Medieval rural settlements in the mountainous area north of Demre (Myra), Antalya district. During the surveys in 2022, a rock tomb and some building remains that can be dated to the Classical period were found in the mountainous area north of Belören village in a place called Katranağaç and Arpacık Tepe by the locals. The buildings were placed at intervals on the southern slope of the hill, facing the village, along a line of about 750 metres in an east-west direction. The rock tomb with an inscription in the Lycian language, which is the subject of this article, is located on the eastern side of the rock at an altitude of 937.60 metres in the Arpacık locality. There are also agricultural areas formed by terraces in front of the tomb structure towards the south. The inscription in Lycian language is written in 4 lines in funerary style. The analysis of the inscription and the tomb is the subject of this study.
