Hasanbeyli inscription

The Hasanbeyli inscription is a Phoenician inscription on a basalt stone discovered in the village of Hasanbeyli, on the western slopes of the Amanus Mountains, in 1894.

[1] It was discovered by Felix von Luschan, who had been excavating at nearby Zincirli.

The Phoenician inscription is 5 lines long, and mentions the "king of the city of Adana", the "king of Assur" and "Awariku" (also on the Karatepe inscription).

A short Greek inscription with two crosses has been overlaid; it is thought that it was used as a boundary marker during Byzantine times.

The stele measures 42 x 34 x 23 cm.
