The inscription appears to be complete. Zulmandar Hanı lies 6km ENE of Mernek/Karakaya (TIB Galatien 246, s.v. Zulmandarhanı). A dedication to Zeus Zemroutenos, seen by Anderson at Zıvarık/Altınekin (Anderson 1899: 281, no. 165), was said to derive from here; however, Anderson’s suggestion that the modern name of the han could be a survival of an ancient village name Zemrouta is fanciful. For the name Tyrannos in this region, see also MAMA XI 363 (1954/53: Kana).
