Abstract :The existence of the following inscriptions was brought to my knowledge by İbrahim Gürcan of the village of Kazıkbağları. I visited the places in question in September 1965. In the village of Atçılar Köyü, high in the hills some 7 km. in a straight line due north from the site of Aegae, brought from the hill of Danışman Tepe close above the village on the north and built into the mosque when this was repaired in 1953, a block of hard brown stone 0.65 high,o.43 wide, 0.20 thick. The stone appears complete, with plain upper surface; the writing begins close under the top edge. At the bottom a space of 22 cm. is left rough; this part of the stone was obviously buried in the earth. Letters 35 to 43 mm. high, still showing traces of red colouring.
