This inscription was published in MAMA VIII 264 with the provenance Giymir. By the time that Ballance saw it in 1956, it had migrated some 8km north to Yenikuyu.
For the physical form and dimensions of this monument, see the commentary to MAMA XI 307 (1956/159a). If I have correctly dated these two bases to the late second or early third century AD (on the parallel of two similar monuments from Synnada), we should have to assume that the incised cross on our monument was a later addition.
For the name Σέλευκος at Perta, see the commentary to MAMA XI 309 (1956/169).
