Abstract

In this article are published four new graffiti found in the Tepecik settlement in the Lycian harbour of Patara. These inscriptions, three of which are written in Lycian, and one in Greek, are dated from the mid-fifth to the first quarter of the third century BC. They correspond to Lycian personal names, most of which are new. Each of these forms is discussed in detail and compared with related names attested in other Anatolian languages.
