A Confession Inscription from the Sanctuary of Zeus at Twin Oaks Rediscovered

In 2013, part of an inscribed stele was auctioned by the international auction house Bonhams. The surviving part of the inscription allows us to identify it with a confession inscription published in 2018 by Hasan Malay. However, Malay only published the text of the inscription based on a copy taken by other epigraphers, which did not record any other information about the stele. Based on the photo from the auction catalogue, above the inscription there is a relief depicting a woman standing next to an altar. In addition, the photograph allows us to make minor corrections to the edition of the text.

Abstract

In 2013, part of an inscribed stele was auctioned by the international auction house Bonhams. The surviving part of the inscription allows us to identify it with a confession inscription published in 2018 by Hasan Malay. However, Malay only published the text of the inscription based on a copy taken by other epigraphers, which did not record any other information about the stele. Based on the photo from the auction catalogue, above the inscription there is a relief depicting a woman standing next to an altar. In addition, the photograph allows us to make minor corrections to the edition of the text.
