Abstract
Among the Greek inscriptions from Tamaşalık (ancient Isauria), two hapaxes are found: Σταλλῳ and βανουας. The first is a theonym and should be explained as a pure Greek formation. By contrast, the noun βανουας, a title of a local priest, is here considered a borrowing from Aramaic bānōyā ‘builder, architect’. The connection between the priests and the buildings of this ancient village is given by the aedilic inscriptions of the site.
