Text of MAMA XI 209 (Axylon 9: 1954-73)
For the common name Νανα, see Zgusta 1964: 346-7 §1013-1; MAMA XI 221 (1954/37: Yukarı Ali Çomak). For the name Ιωδηνα (?), see the commentary to MAMA XI 203 (1954/46: Çeşmelisebil). For the tendril decoration on the outer moulding of the pediment, see the commentary to MAMA XI 204 (1954/48). The doorstone type appears to be similar to that of Waelkens 1986: 250, Typ C Atlandı.
