M. Aydo\u011fdu, in the locality designated \u201cOmarc\u0131 (\u00d6merci) Village\u201d situated in the district of \u015earkikaraa\u011fa\u00e7, Isparta. With the type of stone of the artefact it is an uncommon find for \u015earkikaraa\u011fa\u00e7, Yalva\u00e7 and its surroundings. At the beginning of the research, it was noted that the tombstone was presented by T. Drew-Bear in 1993 at the \u201cXI<sup>th<\/sup> Survey Results Meeting\u201d, and it was determined that the original findspot of the tombstone was Afyonkarahisar \/ \u0130scehisar. In 2004, the inscription was incorporated into a corpus by W. Ameling, which included Jewish inscriptions from Asia Minor. The studies that have been carried out thus far have not evaluated the reliefs and the iconogra\u00adphy of the stele. Thus it would be beneficial to undertake a comprehensive revision of the work and present it to the scientific community in a more holistic manner, with a synthesis of both archaeological and epigraphic perspectives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Jewish Tombstone, Menorah, Hebrew, Ancient Greek Inscription, Phrygia, <em>Koimeterion<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00d6z:<\/strong> \u00dczerinde menora, \u015fofar, etrog ve lulav gibi Yahudi simgeleriyle \u0130branice <em>\u015falom<\/em> ve Hellence iki sat\u0131rl\u0131k yaz\u0131t ta\u015f\u0131yan mezar steli Isparta \u0130li, \u015earkikaraa\u011fa\u00e7 \u0130l\u00e7esi\u2019nde \u201cOmarc\u0131 (\u00d6merci) K\u00f6y\u201d olarak adland\u0131r\u0131lan mevkide, H.
