<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstract:</strong> The subject of this article is a fifteen-line inscription (Figs. 1-4) on the front face of a marble block discovered in the Şuhut district of Afyon and currently preserved in the Afyon Museum. The findspot of the stone belonged to the territory of the city of Synnada, located in Phrygia during antiquity. The inscription is an agonistic epigram consisting of three distichs honoring a successful trumpeter. In the epigram, a trumpeter named Antigonos is praised. He is known to have participated in trumpet competitions and achieved success while still a child. In later periods, he also gained victories in the Actian and Pythian games. It is emphasized that Antigonos glorified his homeland &#8211; which is not named in the epigram but is likely Synnada based on the findspot &#8211; through his achievements. We include this inscription within the group of agonistic inscriptions known from Synnada to date, some of which are also in the form of epigrams. This marks the first time a trumpeter has been documented in Synnada. Based on current epigraphic and numismatic evidence, the only major festival and games identified in Synnada to date is the great festival known as the “Hadrianeia Panathenaia”. This inscription honoring the trumpeter was also likely erected during a celebration of the Hadrianeia Panathenaia agon in the city. Due to its letterforms and content, the epigram can be dated to the same period as similar epigrams from Synnada, such as those of Thallos and Aristainetos (see the appendix) -namely, the first half of the 3<sup>rd</sup> century CE.</p>
<p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Agonistic Epigram, Afyon Museum, Synnada, Pythia, Actia, Salpinktes/Trumpeter</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Öz:</strong> Afyon’un Şuhut ilçesinde bulunmuş ve günümüzde Afyon Müzesi’nde korunan mermer bir blok taşın ön yüzündeki on beş satırlık bir yazıt (Figs. 1-4) bu makalenin konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Taşın bulunduğu yer, antikçağda Phrygia’da yer alan Synnada kentinin topraklarına aitti. Yazıt başarılı bir trompetçinin onurlandırıldığı üç distykhondan oluşan agonistik bir epigramdır. Epigramda Antigonos isimli bir trompetçi övülmektedir. Bu kişinin daha çocukken trompet yarışmalarına katıldığı ve başarılar kazandığı anlaşılmaktadır. Daha sonraki zamanlarda Aktia ve Pythia oyunlarında da zaferler elde etmiştir. Antigonos’un adı epigramda verilmeyen ama buluntu yerinden dolayı Synnada olması muhtemel olan vatanını başarılarıyla yücelttiği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu yazıtı bugüne kadar Synnada’dan bilinen ve bazıları da epigram şeklinde olan bir grup agonistik yazıt grubunun içine dahil ediyoruz. Synnada’dan ilk kez bir trompetçi belgelenmektedir. Mevcut epigrafik ve nümismatik belgelere dayanarak Synnada’da bugüne kadar tespit edilmiş olan tek bayram “Hadrianeia Panathenaia” adıyla bilinen büyük bayram ve oyunlardır. Trompetçiyi onurlandıran bu yazıt da olasılıkla kentteki bir Hadrianeia Panathenaia agonu sırasında dikilmiş olmalıdır. Epigram harf karakterleri ve içeriği nedeniyle Synnada’daki Thallos ve Aristainetos epigramları gibi (bk. ekler kısmı) benzer epigramlarla aynı döneme, yani MS 3. yüzyılın ilk yarısına tarihlenebilir.</p>
