Abstract
: In this study, 14 inscriptions discovered in the
excavations at Ayasuluk and St. Jean are introduced. The
first inscription is a funerary stele belonging to Aurelius
Aristokles and his daughter Aristokleia. From the relief
on the stele, one can think that the grave owner Aristokles
was a ταυροκαθάπτης who fought with bulls. The remaining 13 inscriptions are carved on the funerary urns.
Almost all of these are broken; they were standing in
places before they are brought together in the excavation
area in the 2020 campaign, which enabled the possibility
of obtaining an overall view of them. Nos. 12, 13 and 14
are re-published in this article with the intention of
providing their photos. To date 180 funerary urns are
known from Ephesos and its territory and this
contribution adds a further ten examples to this group of
funerary monuments.
