ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The excavations at the monastic complex of Alahan in Isauria have revealed twelve inscriptions. Two of the best preserved of them provide information on the stay at the monastery of two individuals with the same name (Tarasis), possibly father and son. The first was the founder of the xenon (hospice) of the monastery and died in 462, while the second had become a priest there a year earlier. These dates are the only safe evidence concerning the monastery’s foundation, which can be placed to the mid-5th century. |
