Özet

This paper introduces 16 new Greek inscriptions derived from our epigraphic work carried out in the Ephesus Museum at Selcuk (Izmir, Turkey). The majority of the inscriptions are from the Imperial Period, amongst which stand out the funerary inscription of a gladiator named Pardos of Alexandria Troas origin who is proud of winning 19 times and killed 10 times as a fighter to execute ({greek word presented}), a fragment of an imperial letter from the reign of Septimius Severus from which only the beginning survives and the funerary stone of a {greek word presented}, called Domnion. There is only one Hellenistic inscription which is a dedication to Zeus Meilichios. Two inscriptions belong to the Byzantine Period. One of them is an anonymous dedication inscribed on a baptistal font, whilst the other concerns an invocation of Leo, the patrician and strategos of the Thracesian Theme.
