Περίληψη:	Excavations The authors publish a new inscription found in re-use in the Gallienic fortification of Lamos (Adanda Kalesi) during field work conducted in 2018. The stone partly preserves 12 lines of a poem composed in distichs. The surviving verses recount battles and heroic deeds in a grand epic style, making extensive use of Homeric vocabulary. There is mention of a man named Mos, of Achilles’ father Peleus (if the restoration proposed here is correct), of Pelasgian troops, «men-destroying» Cilicians and, probably, of the name of the city of Lamos. Comparison with inscriptions from the wider region speaks for a date in the 1st century BC. It is suggested that the poem constitutes evidence of a conscious effort to include Cilician Lamos in the Hellenistic cultural tradition, and to dispel associations of barbarism attached to Rough Cilicians. It is pointed out that Homer may have served the citizens of Lamos particularly well as a source of prestige because Lamos alone among cities in this region could claim to be mentioned in the Homeric Epics.
