Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 10 Two inscriptions found last summer in the neighbourhood of Lystra throw new light on the circumstances of the visit to that city of Paul and Barnabas, as related in the fourteenth chapter of Acts. A party consisting of Sir William, Lady, and Miss Ramsay, and the writer left Iconium late in May, 1909, to travel in the Isaurian highlands south and west of Lystra. We made a rapid examination of the hilly country which is bounded by Lake Trogitis on the south-west, and on the south and east by the magnificent chasm of the Tsharshemba River, which in ancient times carried the water of Lake Trogitis down to the Konia plain. The region possesses that combination of natural grandeur and fertility which called forth the religious veneration of the early Anatolian peoples, and we were on the outlook for traces of "Hittite" and other worships. No actual "Hittite" remains were found; but two inscriptions which we copied preserve, under a Greek form, traces of the early Anatolian cult of the district, and help us to understand more clearly the circumstances attending the worship of Paul and Barnabas as pagan gods at Lystra. The first of these inscriptions lies in a Turkish graveyard at Ak-kilisse, a village on the high ground immediately east of Lake Trogitis, a day´s ride south of Lystra. This is the site of the ancient Sedasa, one of the d¿µoi into which the tribe of the Homonades, which inhabited the region in Roman times, was divided.
