Abstract

This article presents several new inscriptions discovered during the survey of the Pisidian city at Melli directed by Dr Lutgarde Vandeput, and revisions to already published texts. These include several imperial statue bases from the city agora, four texts honouring city patrons, who include a provincial governor and a senior Roman equestrian official from the nearby Pisidian city of Selge, dedications and epitaphs. The most significant discovery is the first identified Greek copy of a votive text to ‘the gods and goddesses’, set up according to the interpretation of a Clarian oracle, which was already known from nine Latin versions. The inscription is associated with a cult room in a domestic building, and may be connected with the worship of theos hypsistos.

Özet

Bu çalışma Dr Lutgarde Vandeput tarafından bir Pisidia şehri olan Melli'de bulunmuş birkaç yani yazıtın ve yayınlanmış olan bazı yazıtlarda yapılan yeniden deǧerlendirmelerin bir sunumudur. Bunlar şehir agorasında bulunmuş olan birkaç imparatorluk heykeli kaidesi, aralarında bir eyalet valisi ve yakın komşu diǧer Pisidia şehri Selge'den kıdemli bir Roma atlı süvarisi dahil olmak üzere bazı şehir yöneticilerini onurlandıran 4 adet yazıt, ithaf ve mezar kitabelerinden oluşmaktadır. Bunlar arasında en ilgi çekici olanı, şu ana kadar 9 adet Latince versiyonu bulunmuş bir adak yazıtının Yunanca'sının bulunmuş olmasıdiı. ‘Tanrı ve tanrıçalara’ adanmış olan bu adak yazıtı bir Klaros kahininin yorumuna göre düzenlenmiştir. Bu yazıt gündelik kullanılan bir yapının kült odasında bulunmuş olup, theos hypsistos tapınımıyla ilişkilendirilebilinir.
