ALEKSANDREİA TROAS’TAN YENİ BİR LAHİT YAZITI

Bu makalede Çanakkale’nin Ezine ilçesinde bir evin bahçe duvarında devşirme malzeme olarak kullanılmış olan bir lahit parçası üzerindeki yeni bir yazıt tanıtılmaktadır. Aleksandreia Troas’taki Roma dönemi mezar mimarisi hakkında bilgi sunan bu yazıt aracılığıyla kentte kamara olarak adlandırılan tonoz tavanlı mezar yapılarının üzerine lahit yerleştirildiğini öğrenmekteyiz. Aleksandreia Troas’ta bu türde mezarların varlığı arkeolojik olarak doğrulanmasa da lahdin bu şekilde yerleştirildiği mezar yapıları Phrygia Hierapolis’inde belgelenmiştir. Ayrıca lahdin yazıtlarda nadir olarak geçen ve “basamaklı platform” olarak tercüme edilen ekbasmosis üzerine yerleştirildiği anlaşılmaktadır. Asia Minor’da özellikle Karia ve Pisidia bölgelerinde ceza formülü içeren mezar yazıtlarında sıklıkla karşılaşılan tymborykhia kavramı bu yazıt ile Aleksandreia Troas’ta ilk defa kayıt altına alınmaktadır.

A NEW SARCOPHAGUS INSCRIPTION FROM ALEXANDREIA TROAS

This paper aims to introduce a new sarcophagus inscription which was used as a spolia ofthe garden wall of a house in the town of Ezine in Çanakkale Province. Providing information about thetomb architecture of Alexandreia Troas in the Roman Imperial period, the inscription constitutes the firstclear epigraphic evidence in the city about the practice of erecting a sarcophagus on the top surface of akamara. Archaeological example of these monumental tombs has not documented in the city. However,analogous practice is well known from the necropolis of Phrygian Hierapolis. The inscription also showsthat the sarcophagus was placed on a ‘stepped pedestal’ called ekbasmosis, a rare term recorded in inscriptions. With this inscription, the term tymborychia which is common in the funerary inscriptions with fineclause, especially in Caria and Pisidia, firstly appears in Alexandreia Troas.
