THE inscriptions contained in this article were found in the neigh- bourhood of the Tauros valley in Western Pisidia during the autumn of 1910 by Mr. Nikolas Michael of Adalia, who has kindly forwarded me his copies for publication. They form a substantial addition to the texts found by Mr. Ormerod and myself in that region a few months earlier,1 though it is disappointing that none of them furnish any topographical information. The discovery of No. 5 at Yerten-Keui tends to confirm the view that this village represents an ancient site. As, on the whole, they present no serious textual problems, it seems sufficient to publish them in minuscules only, noting ligatures where they occur. A classification by subjects has been adopted.
Dedications to Roman Emperors. 1. In a Turkish cemetery (Karatashlar-mezarlik) not far from Tchai- kenar, on a large base.

If the stone was erected close to where it is now, it might have stood within the boundary of the territories of Termessos, on the road leading to Isinda. 1 See B.S.A. xvi. p. 90. 2 Copy of A. revised in 1911 by Messrs. H. A. Ormerod and E. S. G. Robinson, to whom I am also indebted for a squeeze of B., obtained not without difficulty. 3 E.g. C.I.L. iii. 6895, from Pontus, and a fragment found a few miles to the west of Adalia by Mr. Ormerod in 1911 ; see below, p. 243, No. 27. 4 E.g. I.G. Rom. iii. 336, from Sagalassos, C.I.G. add. 4300 x, from Aperlae ; and see Annals of Archaeology and Anthropology, iii. p. 145, for an example from Thessaly (not, however, a mile-stone), and other parallels. 5 E.g. C.I.L. iii. 7201, from near Smyrna, ibid. iii. 6095 from Temnos. 208 A. M. WOODWARD B.

Perhaps originally a Greek version of A., supplanted by a Latin inscription late in the reign of Constantine,1 on the occasion of repairing the road from Termessos to Isinda. Many mile-stones from Phrygia have been similarly treated.2 Agonistic Inscriptions. 5. In a Turkish cemetery (Bozburun-mezarlik) near Karibtche, to the E. of Komama.

In 1. 7 the reading is doubtful, TTA//////O// alone being clear; perhaps we should restore 7ra[7T7r]o[w], and in 1. 8 the first and fourth letters are uncertain. We cannot tell from how far this stone has travelled. Another inscription from Karibtche is known,1 but the village does not seem to represent an ancient site. It is just possible that the founder of these games is connected with M.

The style of the writing, e.g. C for sigma, and the use of ligatures, especially in NE, and also the general arrangement of the wording, bring this stone into close connexion with another agonistic dedication from the same village,1 which likewise refers to games in honour of an Emperor Severus. I am therefore inclined to attribute this inscription also to the time of Severus Alexander, not of Septimius Severus. Perhaps we may suppose some relationship to have existed between the persons mentioned on these two stones, for Kip. Ouet/8to 1 B.S.A. loc. cit. No. 15. 2 At Pogla, C.I.G. 4367g, J.G.
