Aizanoi, located within the borders of modern village of Çavdarhisar, had been founded as a Pergamene colony in the Hellenistic Period and became an important polis of Western Asia Minor under the Roman rule. Territory of the city covers Örencik Plain which is irrigated by Kocasu (Penkalas) Stream and once called as Aizanitis. This article presents seven tombstones reused on the quay walls which were identified during excavations conducted around the Penkalas River in years 2018, 2019, 2020 under the directorship of Prof. Dr. Elif Özer. The first five inscriptions are bomoi, while inscriptions no. 7 and no. 8 stelai. No. 6, unlike the others, was found in the northern necropolis of the city. No.1 is an epigram for a young man, Iulianus who identified poetically as kind to Muses and Herakles. No. 2 is erected by Ephesis and Amias for their father Agathas. No. 3. is erected by a guild for its member, scutulae-maker Zosimos from Sardis. No. 4. is fragment of a bomos. No. 5. erected by Apellas, Trophimos and Aleksandros for their father Agathas. No. 7. is erected for Demetrios by his brothers, a cult servant and an oikonomos. No. 8 is erected by Menekles and Theodoros but deceased’s name is missing.

Épitaphes paléochrétiennes et médiévales d’Eğri Taş kilisesi à Ihlara en Cappadoce

The Eğri Taş kilisesi complex is located on the right bank of Melendiz Suyu, in the Ihlara Valley in Cappadocia. Excavated in the rock at the foot of the cliff which looms over the river, it is centered around a church dedicated to Theotokos and decorated between 921 and 927, in the reign of Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, Romanus 1st Lecapenus and his son Christophorus. Apart from the painted church, Eğri Taş also includes several burial spaces where twenty-four funerary inscriptions are preserved to this day. These inscriptions, poorly known for the most part and only incompletely published, can provide with material of considerable importance for the study of Christian funerary epigraphy. In this article I present a new edition of these epitaphs, based on a long research project involving in situ deciphering and reexamination, carried out over three fieldwork trips to the region in 2006, 2012 and 2019. This epigraphic fieldwork led me to correct and/or complete readings of eleven inscriptions known from previous editions and to identify thirteen unpublished ones. It also enabled me to date the inscriptions into two periods which correspond to the main phases of occupation of the site: one group is late antique, probably from the 6th century, the other being medieval, dating from the 9th-10th and 11th centuries.
