Abstract

This work analyzes some fragments of inscription that are part of a Turkish private collection that contains different materials from the area around Adiyaman (Turkey). These important fragments, of which the text, translation and commentary is provided, together with a series of architectural pieces belonging to the same collection (and examined in another article within the same volume), allow to locate a new sanctuary for the cult of Antiochus I of Commagene and his dynasty. Unfortunately this site is now under the waters of the Ataturk dam and nothing remains on the surface; hence the importance of these findings.
