Abstract
Five funerary inscriptions and an inscribed boundary stone, which were brought from surrounding villages to the Karaman Museum, are introduced. In these inscriptions some new indigenous personal names are documented: Sis (No. 1), Mamoas and Kibadas or Kibas (No. 2), Inne (No. 3), Vitres and Kilamosis (No. 5). In the first inscription Pigramos, which was only known from the Lycian inscriptions, is attested for the first time outside Lycia. A figure of a horseman on the altar (No. 3), represented by the name Cassius, also appears on a very similar tomb stone preserved in the Konya Museum. It is possible that both of these stones were been produced by the same stone-cutter, with the name Cassius on both stones representing the same person, probably a nobleman or a stone-cutter. The fourth inscription documents a scholarios (imperial guard) named Paulos. In the boundary inscription (No. 6) a new place name is recorded as Takseasou in the genitive case. In addition to these, two published inscriptions from the museum are republished with new readings under the heading corrigenda et addenda . In the first (No. 7), a personal name misread as Ilathyia is corrected to Flavia. In the second (No. 8), a certain freedman of the Emperor by the name of M. Ulpius is recorded as tabularius . He was probably an accountant on an imperial estate given the provenance of the inscription (Suduragi).
