马特罗尼亚努斯，《伊索里亚来了》：来自粗糙西里西亚亚尼汗的早期拜占庭大教堂的铭文

YenıKhan的废墟形成了一个晚期罗马村庄的遗迹，位于粗糙的Cilicia内陆，距离Limonlu村内陆约8公里，在通往Canbazlı的道路上(见图1)。学者们并不经常访问该遗址，已故的迈克尔·高夫教授在1959年9月2日访问后首次明确提到了该遗址的存在。YenıKhan现在只被尤鲁克人占据，他们多年来一直在Sandal Dağ的南坡过冬。YenıKhan的古代定居点由一个占地数英亩的村庄组成。遗迹仍然很广泛，一些，特别是北大教堂，保存得很好，但近年来有相当大的干扰，因为石头和瓦砾被移走，以创造小的可耕地空地。可见的遗迹包括许多住宅建筑，既有用没有砂浆的多边形砖石建造的，也有用砂浆和碎石建造的，上面铺着小石板。有几个地下蓄水池和一系列橄榄榨汁机。定居点周围的乡村在古代一直是农业用途的梯田，就像定居点本身一样，周围茂密地覆盖着灌木橡树和野橄榄树。最令人印象深刻的是两座巴西里教堂的遗迹，它们几乎没有什么艺术伪装，但有相当大的建筑兴趣。构成这篇文章实质内容的碑文是在南大教堂主要西门的门槛上发现的。
The ruins at Yanıkhan form the remains of a Late Roman village in the interior of Rough Cilicia some 8 kilometres inland from the village of Limonlu on the road to Canbazlı (see Fig. 1). The site has not been frequently visited by scholars, and the first certain reference to its existence was made by the late Professor Michael Gough after his visit on 2 September 1959. Yanıkhan is now occupied only by the Yürüks who for years have wintered on the southern slopes of Sandal Dağ. The ancient settlement at Yanıkhan consisted of a village covering several acres. The remains are still extensive, and some, especially the North Basilica, are very well preserved, but there has been considerable disturbance in recent years as stone and rubble have been removed in order to create small arable clearings. The visible remains include many domestic buildings constructed both from polygonal masonry without mortar and from mortar and rubble with coursed smallstone facing. There are several underground cisterns and a range of olive presses. The countryside around the settlement has been terraced for agricultural purposes in antiquity, and is, like the settlement itself, densely covered with scrub oak and wild olive trees. The most impressive remains are those of the two basilical churches which are of little artistic pretension, but considerable architectural interest. The inscription which forms the substance of this article was found on the lintel block of the main west entrance of the South Basilica.
