A Revision of A Published Inscription Found in Keraia

Abstract

An inscription found in Keraia was first published by G. H. R. Horsley and S. Mitchell in 2000, and was later reviewed and revised during our epigraphic surface survey in 2014. It was found in Belören Village in the district of North Pisidia located in the antique city Keraia. It is the second inscription to have been found in the city until now, and as one of the two inscriptions found in the city, it is of considerable importance. Although the tomb’s lid, which is found inside the ruins of a Heroon located in the cemetery on the eastern part of the city, is still partly buried, the remaining part of the lid is easily legible. The detailed autopsy we performed revealed mistakes on the length of letters, as well as orthographic mistakes. It was also determined that the uppermost line of the inscription is missing. We thus identified and removed the errors and issues in this publication, and the full name of the person who built the Heroon was corrected as Lucius Flavius Aurelianus Nestor.
