Three funerary steles from the Sea of Side, Turkey

During a successful campaign of underwater
surveys in the eastern part of the Gulf of
Antalya, in southern Turkey, three funerary
steles were found, not far from the modern
breakwater of the port of Side. The epigraphic
analysis of the inscriptions allows us
to insert these slabs in a series of types very
well-known for this region in the Hellenistic
time, and allows us to read interesting
anthroponyms in the typical forms of the dialect
of ancient Pamphylia.
