Abstract:<\/strong> This article presents the epigraphic and historical analysis of seven votive inscriptions preserved in the courtyard of the Eski\u015fehir Eti Archaeology Museum. Although these inscriptions were identified within the borders of Eski\u015fehir Province, their exact findspots remain unknown. It is therefore assumed that the objects may originate from the territories of settlements located within the provincial boundaries that existed at the time the inscriptions were produced; where necessary, the inscriptions have been evaluated within their own internal context. The first inscription was dedicated to the \u201cJust Gods\u201d (Theoi Dikaioi) by a komarkhes<\/em> and priest of a settlement. Although parallels associated with Hosios kai Dikaios are known, this expression is attested here for the first time in the region as denoting a group of deities. The following three inscriptions are dedicated respectively to Hosios kai Dikaios, Theos Hypsistos, and Men. The fifth inscription is a fragment dedicated by the inhabitants of Doiga. The sixth inscription is dedicated to the local deity of a settlement named Dobana. They are introduced into the literature as two new toponyms. The final inscription is likewise fragmentary and preserves only part of the name of the dedicator. All inscriptions are dated to the 2nd<\/sup>\u20134th<\/sup> centuries CE and reflect the religious diversity of the Eski\u015fehir region in antiquity.<\/p>\n

\u00d6z:<\/strong> Bu makale, Eski\u015fehir Eti Arkeoloji M\u00fczesi bah\u00e7esinde muhafaza edilen yedi adak yaz\u0131t\u0131n\u0131n epigrafik ve tarihsel analizini sunmaktad\u0131r. S\u00f6z konusu yaz\u0131tlar Eski\u015fehir ili s\u0131n\u0131rlar\u0131 i\u00e7erisinde tespit edilmi\u015f olmakla birlikte, kesin buluntu yerleri bilinmemektedir. Bu nedenle eserlerin, il s\u0131n\u0131rlar\u0131 i\u00e7inde yer alan ve yaz\u0131tlar\u0131n \u00fcretildi\u011fi d\u00f6nemde varl\u0131k g\u00f6steren yerle\u015fimlerden herhangi birinin h\u00e2kimiyet alan\u0131na ait olabilece\u011fi varsay\u0131lm\u0131\u015f; gerekli durumlarda ise yaz\u0131tlar kendi i\u00e7 ba\u011flamlar\u0131 i\u00e7erisinde de\u011ferlendirilmi\u015ftir. Yaz\u0131tlardan ilki, bir yerle\u015fimin komarkhes<\/em>\u2019i ve rahibi taraf\u0131ndan \u201cadil tanr\u0131lara\u201d (Theoi Dikaioi) adanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Bu ifade, daha \u00f6nce Hosios kai Dikaios ile ili\u015fkili \u00f6rnekler bilinmekle birlikte, bir tanr\u0131 grubunu niteleyecek \u015fekilde b\u00f6lgede ilk kez belgelenmektedir. Bunu izleyen \u00fc\u00e7 yaz\u0131t s\u0131ras\u0131yla Hosios kai Dikaios, Theos Hypsistos ve Men i\u00e7in d\u00fczenlenmi\u015ftir. Be\u015finci yaz\u0131t bir fragman olup Doiga sakinleri taraf\u0131ndan adanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Alt\u0131nc\u0131 yaz\u0131t, Dobana adl\u0131 yerle\u015fimin yerel tanr\u0131s\u0131na ithaf edilmi\u015ftir. Bu isimler iki yeni toponim olarak literat\u00fcre kazand\u0131r\u0131lmaktad\u0131r. Son yaz\u0131t ise yine bir fragman olup yaln\u0131zca adayan\u0131n isminin bir k\u0131sm\u0131 korunabilmi\u015ftir. T\u00fcm eserler MS 2\u20134. y\u00fczy\u0131llar aras\u0131na tarihlenmekte olup Eski\u015fehir b\u00f6lgesinin antik \u00e7a\u011fdaki dinsel \u00e7e\u015fitlili\u011fini ortaya koymaktad\u0131r.<\/p>\n
