“Because I am Eudemos as the captain, I know the way (pass-
ing) from one Pontos to the other Pontos through the waves,
the discovery of Palas (Athena). Together with all the people
of Bithynia (ti kal(kedo) he decided (to have my citizenship?)
lucky (my homeland deems me worthy) authorities (appointed
me), (Lycian) great(su) behaved in the same way; and member
I was of the council of elders. Destiny (…) If (if anyone bury
here without permission) someone else will pay (to the treasury
this amount of gold (in dinars) as punishment).”

Years passed and when his nephew Zosimos passed away,
he had his own sarcophagus placed next to his uncle. Visitors
to the ancient city of Olympos in Kumluca greet the captain Eu-
domos and Zosimos and reach the deep blue beach (Adak 2003).
Excavations in the city of Olympos are carried out under
the chairmanship of Prof. Dr. Bedia Yelda Uçkan from Anadolu
Üniversity History of Art Department.
