Özet:

Catalog of the Inscriptions in the Museum of Adapazarı The article presents a compilation of 42 stone monuments which are now in the Adapazarı Museum founded in 1993. The majority of these monuments are tombstones discovered in the mostly rural settlements east of Nikaia. Some other stones stem from the territory of Nikomedeia, which the authors believe to have included even the eastern part of the plain of Adapazarı. The oldest and historically most significant document in the Museum is the dedication to Tiberius and Zeus Soter by the veteran Publius Alfius. The Hellenistic storey stele no. 4 provides an example of the reuse of a tombstone in imperial times. The door steles found in the Pamukova and Taraklı regions are interpreted as evidence for the existence of a Phrygian population on the middle Sangarios river.
