Hierax, son of Seleukos, for his father Seleukos and his mother Tata, in memoriam.

For the name Seleukos at Perta, see the commentary to MAMA XI 309 (1956/169). The name Hierax is not common in Lykaonia, but is attested at the sanctuary of Apollo at Ortakuyu (French 2007: 82-3, no. 20; cf. MAMA XI 365 [1956/191]), at Toriaion (MAMA VII 159, near Mahmuthisar) and in a handful of inscriptions from the area around Lystra (MAMA VIII 56, 62, 144; Laminger-Pascher 1992: nos. 254, 248, 387).
