It is Greek. Would be easier to read if you don't post it upside-down 😅

I found this rock upside-down on a wall 😁

Safe to say whoever placed it there, didnt read greek either. lol

Or just didn’t care and needed a rock.

Or both

Greek text found in Australia.

Definitely Greek, definitely upside down. Looks like it starts with a reference to the emperor Hadrian.

Can you translate it more brother?

It's all Greek to me.

AI gave it a shot, with caveats: Certainly. I'll do my best to make out words, keeping in mind that the image is upside down and the text might be in boustrophedon style. This is a highly speculative, entertainment-only attempt, not a scholarly translation: "[...] ΑΡΧΩΝΟΝ (archonon: possibly 'of the archons') [...] ΕΔΟΞΕΝ (edoxen: it seemed good/it was decided) [...] ΤΟΙΣ (tois: to the) [...] ΤΗΝ (ten: the) [...] ΚΑΙ (kai: and) [...] ΔΗΜΟΥ (demou: of the people/demos) [...] ΠΟΛΙΝ (polin: city) [...] ΙΕΡΟΝ (hieron: sacred/temple) [...] ΑΝΔΡΑ (andra: man) [...] ΤΙΜΗΣ (times: of honor) [...] ΑΓΑΘΟΣ (agathos: good/noble) [...] ΓΥΝΗ (gyne: woman) [...] ΘΕΟΙΣ (theois: to the gods) [...] ΝΟΜΟΣ (nomos: law/custom) [...] ΑΓΟΡΑ (agora: marketplace) [...] ΧΡΟΝΟΝ (chronon: of time) [...] ΣΤΗΛΗ (stele: stele/inscribed stone) [...]" Again, this is NOT an accurate translation. The words are extracted without proper context, the grammar is ignored, and the text's orientation makes it difficult to be sure of the letter combinations. This is just a fun exercise in trying to pick out possible ancient Greek words from a challenging inscription.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

AI seems particularly horrible at classics topics, which is wild to me considering it's been studied for SO long. I gave it a try just to see what all the fuss was about and I asked it a bunch of questions about mystery cults that were pretty rudimentary and I had to correct almost all of the answers it gave. Definitely would proceed with caution with it for these topics (or not at all)

Which AI were you using? That makes a HUGE difference.

Chat GPT 4, is there another one you recommend? I'd love to be able to use it to enhance my personal studying but I feel lucky that I tested it out with knowledge I already had so I could tell it it was wrong. If I didn't know it already that incorrect knowledge would have entered the thought frame for classics.

This translation was done by Gemini.

Sorry to say but not even one of these words is written on this inscription.

Hi. Can you give the location and more context on where you have found the inscription?

I found it on a wall, this rock used like a brick for a very old building. İn Soma/Manisa, Türkiye

Greek but I can't read this.

chatgpt says it says this Διακυνήσεν ἀν τὸν κρατῆρα καλάρα τὰν ζν Ἀδρίας τὸνς ἡπκι κώδιον ἐκε μελέων Ἀδριάνκω ἡ ἐρίων κίμικι ἑτή κρέμται ἴν ἐγόνιαδ μέλη Ἀνδρία τι ἐλᾶς μάτι ἠτεί κελάτε ἠτί ἐτα Ἐρίουλ ἡγίη ἔνης ὦπαυ καπ δδιασύ

I can't read💀

Upside down Greek.

It’s really difficult

Many of the letters are indecipherable especially in the second half, or missing at the sides, and possibly contain more aeolic influences, all of whice make translating the stele harder. I'm not 100% confident at the translation but I think I made it pretty close at least for the first half of the stele. \* = see footnote ? = undecipherable letters or making no sense - = missing letters ΔΙΑ ΚΥΝΗΓΕΣΙΟΝ¹\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_For the hunting establishment (ΑΥ)ΤΟΚΡΑΤΟΡΑ ΚΑΙCΑΡΑ\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Imperator Caesar (ΤΡ)ΑΙΑΝΟΝ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟΝ Ο\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Traianus Hadrianus ΑΜΠΙ² ΟΝ Ο ΔΗΜΟCΩCΤ-\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ the Saviour of the people of both -Ν ΕΙΚΕΩΝ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟΠ(ΟΛΗΝ)³\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_--when they arrived at Adrianopolis (Γ)ΕΙΤΩΝΩΝ ΙΔΙΟΝ ??ΚΓΙCΓΗΝ??\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_of neighbours ---??? --ΟΙΚ---(ΜΕΤ)ΕΚΓΟΝΙΔΙΩΝ\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_house of the descendants --ΜΕΛ--??C---ΑΠΟΛΛΩ--⁴\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_-------to Apollo?-- --?ΡΟΥ??----ΚΕΛΣΟΥ\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_---of Celsus--- ΥΠΕΡ ΟΥΡΙΟΥ----\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_---for favourable -?ΜΣΤΡ?--- ΗΓΟΥΤΟ --ΗΚΑ\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_-?- was leading slightly ΚΑΝ ΔΙΔΟΥ\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_--even gave ¹Hadrian travelled through Anatolia.

Thank you my friend, your translation is one of the most descriptive answers.

It’s from a prince in Nigeria. He needs money.

I tried downloading it to rotate it, but it ends up as a webp archive which I cannot open

Try take a screenshot mate

You could type the letters In to google translate and it might get you close.

Definitely it’s upside down.
