Abstract
Among a number of inscriptions which I recorded in Turkey in 1950–1951, while travelling as Wilson Fellow of the University of Aberdeen, is the following fragment of the Edict of Diocletian. Brought as long ago as 1937 from Ṣuhut ( = Soǧut Kassaba, Synnada) to the museum at Afyonkarahisar, it is, so far as I am aware, hitherto unpublished. The stone, of white marble, (H. 0.358 m.; W. 0.9; Th. 0.15), was re-used by Byzantine builders, whose diamond-and-circle decoration on the top, and channelling on the underside can be clearly seen. The stone, pitted in places, is broken at the edges, as indicated in the transcription. The inscription (pl. x, 1) is irregularly, sometimes carelessly, but clearly cut in letters 0.013 to 0.02 high, which vary considerably in slope.
