In the Museums of Archaeology in Istanbul, a room full of grave stele with inscriptions, of Hellenistic and other vintages. My kinda thing … nothing like a good graveyard …
From Metelin Island (Mytelene i.e. Lesbos), undated, translated on the plaque:
Map from Heritage History website, by kind permission:
Ancient Asia Minor was a region of the Roman Empire similar to Turkey in extent. “The name ‘Asia Minor’ (from the Greek ‘Mikra Asia’ — Little Asia) was first coined by the Christian historian Orosius (c. 375-418 CE) in his work Seven Books of History Against the Pagans in 400 CE to differentiate the main of Asia from that region which had been evangelized by the Apostle Paul (which included sites known from Paul’s Epistles in the Bible such as Ephesus and Galicia).”

[The last reference — meaning Galatia, as in the Epistle to the Galatians, in Turkey? There’s a Galicia in Spain; another was on the Hungary-Ukraine border; too far.]
