C.My 1
Found in 2004 by Abuzer Kızıl in the garden of a private house at Kırcağız near Mylasa, the inscription is the first ten lines of a Carian text on a marble block (32.5 x 64.5 x 11 cm). The text acts as a heading for a long list of Carian individuals, interpreted as a register of local priests. It provides crucial information for Carian onomastics and local alphabetic variations. The inscription probably dates to the 4th or 3rd century BCE and is currently in the Milas Museum.
