Abstract
In this paper, I employ a Seljuk inscription from the walls of Antalya, Turkey, which I have deciphered, in order to examine one instance of what Oleg Grabar has described as “...the continuity of a relationship between writing and the formal expression of government and of power...” An inscription on the walls of a city recently reconquered by an Islamic monarch from a rebellious Christian populace seems particularly well suited to an analysis of the nexus of form, content, and context implicit in the continuity proposed by Professor Grabar.
