The inscription published below came to light recently during the progress of the new harbour-works at Samsun. It was brought to my attention by a student of the University of Istanbul, and the photograph (Pl. ı ) was kindly furnished at my request by my friend and former pupil B. Şadi Usal of Samsun. The latter informs me further that in the area of the harbour-construction a number of human skeletons were unearthed, together with small figurines, vases of various sizes, and silver coins; no inscriptions were found except that here published.
The present monument is accordingly dated between these years, and was no doubt put in hand as soon as the tidings of the new Augusta reached Amisus. The remarkable circumstance is the addition of Britannicus to the royal pair.
