Three new funerary inscriptions from Tenedos

This paper introduces three previously unpublished grave inscriptions from Tenedos, two of which belong to the Hellenistic period. Recent surveys on the island led to the discovery of inscriptions no. 2 and 3, while inscription no. 1 was found during rescue excavations carried out in 2002. It is worth noting that inscription no. 1 is a cenotaph of a foreigner from Byzantion, which sets it apart from the other two. Based on its stylistic features, the stele with the inscription no. 2 ought to be of Mysian origin. Furthermore, two of the inscriptions (1 and 2) are of particular interest for featuring traits of the Lesbian dialect.
