A third Lydian inscription from Aphrodisias
View through CrossRef
Abstract
An inscribed stone bearing portions of a Lydian inscription was rediscovered in Summer 2024 during the cleaning of a storeroom of the Aphrodisias Museum. Although the text is very fragmentary, it clarifies the paradigm of the Lydian word qaλmλu- ‘king’ and adds to evidence that Lydian was being written in Aphrodisias when Anatolia was under Achaemenid rule.
