Description
Sandstone block wıth graffiti of semi-iconic idols and Old Phrygian letters. Complete in two pieces This upper block was found broken into two parts. The breakage must have occurred in antiquity, but after the graffiti were incised because the lines continue either side of the break. This stone is roughly rectangular but with one slanting side, which is the glacis face. The stone was a corner block facing southwest towards the passage and southeast on the glacis face. It was only the side facing the passage that had incised figures. This surface is finely smoothed.
