Nine Inscriptions from Klaudiopolis in Cilicia (Mut) · In this article, nine formerly unpublished Greek inscriptions from Klaudiopolis in northwestern Cilicia Trachea (modern Mut in southern Turkey) are presented in detail. Apart from one example from the Archaeological Museum of Mersin, these finds are currently displayed in an open-air museum in the castle of Mut which was built in the fourteenth century by the Karamanid Turks and serves today as an oπshot section of the Museum of Silifke (ancient Seleukeia on the Kalykadnos). The first text is an honorific dedication to Teukris, daughter of Caper, and the eight other texts are carved on the sarcophagi of Marcus Aurelius Diogenes, Stephanos, Marcus Aurelius Neon, Aurelia Antonia, Aurelius Valentinianus, Sempronia Cyrilla, Gaius Iulius Capito and Flavius Diophantos. These nine texts can be dated between the end of the second century and the fourth century A.D.
