Epigraphische Forschungen in Termessos

From 1989 to 2002, extensive epigraphical surveys, financed by the Austrian Academy of the Sciences, were annually carried out through a team under the direction of Bülent IPLIKCIOGLU in the Pisidian Termessos and its territory, whereby by field research the area became to open striven so, that therewith the systematic exploration of the Termessian inscriptions, finally performed by Rudolf HEBERDEY and published in the volume Tituli Asiae Minoris III,1 in 1941, was concluded, so that moreover each attempt to find still further texts is either to be owed chance findings or can promise success only in excavations. As fruits of these enterprises, the three VKK-volumes "Epigraphische Forschungen in Termessos und seinem Territorium I-III" were published in the "Sitzungsberichte" in the years 1991 to 1994, in which altogether 76 new texts were presented. The present book continues these three volumes and comprises the results of the research activity of the years 1992 to 2002 both in the ruin field of Termessos and in the area of its chora. The work offers the epigraphical analysis of 219 inscriptions composed in Greek language (religious texts, honorary inscriptions, agonistic inscriptions, grave inscriptions, building inscriptions, milestones, boundary inscriptions), which provide an essential knowledge increase for topography, administration, onomastics and history of religion.
