A New Building Inscription from Northern Lycia

This article aims to introduce a new inscription from Elmal？ Museum, dating to 3rd century AD. According to the inscription, priests and priestesses built a constructure (probably an outbuilding) with their own money. Most of the names in the inscription are epichoric. Considering the geographical distribution of the personal names it is seen that Greek personal names are less common in inland regions of Asia Minor; on the contrary, there are large number of non-Greek names originating in the languages of the indigenous persons in inland Asia Minor. This reveals that Greek influence is strong in coastal regions of Asia Minor and the inland regions are less Hellenized
