The author publishes sixty-one epitaphs, all dating to the Roman and late Roman periods, from eastern Phrygia and southern Galatia. These inscriptions were recorded by Sir William Calder in July 1908 in the course of an extensive epigraphic journey through the steppe north of Konya, and are published here on the basis of Calder’s notebook copies. The texts published here include a large number of indigenous personal names, as well as some interesting kinship terms, curse formulae, and decorative features. The monuments include two verse epitaphs, as well as a significant number of Christian texts.

Doğu Phrygia ve Galatia’dan Yazıtlar

Öz

Yazar Doğu Phrygia ve Güney Galatia’da ele geçmiş, İmparatorluk ve Geç Roma dönemlerine ait altmış bir mezar yazıtı yayınlamaktadır. Söz konusu yazıtlar Temmuz1908’de Konya’nın kuzeyinde bozkırda bir epigrafik keşif gezisi esnasında Sir William Calder tarafından kaydedilmiştir. Yazıtların yayımının temelini Calder’in arazi defterine işlediği kopyalar oluşturmaktadır. Yayınlanan metinler çok sayıda yerel şahıs ismi, ilginç akrabalık tanımlamaları, lanetleme formülleri ve dekoratif ögeler içermektedir. Yazıtların arasında iki şiir ve de azımsanmayacak sayıda Hristiyan metni yer almaktadır.
