Abstract
This white marble slab was cut into its present shape when the verso was incised for use as a decorative panel. An unknown amount of text is therefore missing on all sides, while a few spots in the middle make for difficult reading because of patches of mortar and some pick marks, notably in the first two lines. I am unable to guess at the original length of line, other than to say that it was considerably longer than what is preserved here.Height, 0·24 m.; width, 0·187 m; thickness, 0·043 m.Height of letters, 0·011–0·014 m.At some time between 1960 and 1964, this inscription was brought to the Castle of St. Peter in Bodrum, which has in recent years doubled as the Bodrum Museum under the wise and careful supervision of Director Halık Elbe. Unfortunately, no one today knows who brought the stone in, or where it had been found, for the Museum fell heir to a vast store of material of archaeological value before any system of cataloguing could be devised.
