The decoration of the entablature and the layout of the inscription closely resemble a funerary stele from the neighbouring village of Zengicek/Koçyaka (MAMA XI 284 [1956/129]); the measured width of the entablature is also identical (0.58m), suggesting that the two stelai might derive from the same workshop.
The name Πρειουεις (f.) was widespread in Phrygia Paroreios and Lykaonia: see e.g. MAMA I 112 (Laodikeia), I.Konya 69 (Ikonion), MAMA VIII 83 (Lystra), Zgusta 1964: 440-1 §1305 (with varying orthography).
