These inscriptions may be translated as follows :
A.
" Epigram of Acilius Chirisophus, the son of Alexander ; also
called Philippius.
Once upon a time, by the counsels of the Immortals, a girl rushed
down from this lofty crag and escaped unhurt from a bear. To the
two villages of Philippius and Arsinous this well-known Prion is a
boundary not to be disturbed. The home of Arsinous was Sarro-
maena; that of Philippius was Sobagena, at the confluence of two
rivers. They were faithful comrades, and may this rock declare their
unbroken friendship even to future ages."
