For the Roman name Ianuarius in inner Anatolia, see the commentary to MAMA XI 230 (1957/4: Kinna), and cf. 273 (1957/84: Nevine [Bahçesaray]). For the indigenous name Δουδη, see Zgusta 1964: 153 §306-1; MAMA XI 348 (1956/198: Savatra); 258 (1957/88: Ladık); 260 (1957/111: Ladık). This stele is stylistically very similar to MAMA XI 262 (1957/102), also from Nevine, and it is likely that they are products of the same workshop.
