Gabriele Mietke mentions an unpublished inscription, reportedly found near the so-called monastic church at Korykos, with a reference to an *Archangel (based on Sayar 2000, 279). However, Philipp Pilhofer (2018, 147, n. 247) notes that the reference given by Mietke does not support this statement. He also consulted Mustafa Sayar who did not recall having seen this text. Therefore, the inscription was most probably put on Mietke's checklist by mistake, or was spotted elsewhere.
