Özet: In this study, 14 inscriptions discovered in the excavations at Ayasuluk and St. Jean are intro-duced. The first inscription is a funerary stele belonging to Aurelius Aristokles and his daughter Aristokleia. From the relief on the stele, one can think that the grave owner Aristokles was a ταυροκαθάπτης who fought with bulls. The remaining 13 inscriptions are carved on the funerary urns. Almost all of these are broken; they were standing in places before they are brought together in the excavation area in the 2020 campaign, which enabled the possibility of obtaining an overall view of them. Nos. 12, 13 and 14 are re-published in this article with the intention of providing their photos. To date 180 funerary urns are known from Ephesos and its territory and this contribution adds a further ten examples to this group of funerary monuments.
