The inscription

The Kesecek Köyü inscription is a 4th century BCE Aramaic inscription originally located on the cliffs overlooking the Berdan River near the village of Kesecek Köyü about 25-35 km north-east of Tarsus, Mersin.[1][2]

It is similar in nature to the Sarıaydın inscription.[3]

The inscription measures 46 cm wide by 30 cm high. It is known at KAI 258.

It is currently at the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale.

It is a block of yellowish gray flint, said to have been cut out of a cliff above the river Cydnus, in the neighborhood of the village Kesejek Keoyew, about fifteen miles northeast of the city of Tarsus."
