This article presents new inscriptions found in the villages of Mihalıççık, Alpu and Sivrihisar Counties during epigraphic surveys conducted in Mihalıççık, Alpu, Sivrihisar, Çifteler, Mahmudiye and Beylikova Counties in the Eskişehir Province. The paper includes a catalog of the inscriptions, which examines the inscriptions by two periods: The Roman period and the Byzantine period. Finally, it ends by an edition of previously published bilingual inscription found in Babadat village in Sivrihisar County.
The Eskişehir Province Mihalıççık, Mahmudiye, Alpu, Çifteler, Beylikova and Sivrihisar Counties Epigraphic Survey Project had approval from the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. I would like to express our sincere thanks to the Ministry and its representatives for their interest in and contribution to the successful outcome of the surveys. I thank Erman Yanık (research assistant) for all his help in recording the inscriptions during the surveys and the local people for their hospitality. I would like to thank the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (under the Marie Skłodowska Curie grant agreement no 754513), the Aarhus University Research Foundation and Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies for their support. I am much obliged to Stephen Mitchell and the editorial board of Philia for their comments, which helped to improve the content of this article.
