Abstract: In 2006 and 2008, two small alphabetic inscriptions were discovered by local residents in the environs of Zincirli, Turkey. The texts are in the Phoenician-Aramaic script, but are too fragmentary to provide certain readings or language identification. However, these fragments, in addition to the intact KTMW inscription discovered in situ during the 2008 archaeological season, indicate the likely existence of more texts at this site and, the continued relevance of Zincirli and its environs for philological research.
