The Farasa bilingual inscription, originally known as the Zindji-Dérè or Zindji-Dara inscription,[1][2] is a bilingual Greek-Aramaic inscription found along the Zamantı River outside Farasa, Cappadocia (Greek: Φάρασ(σ)α, then a small Greek-speaking enclave with its own dialect known as Pharasiot Greek), known today as Çamlıca village in Yahyalı, Kayseri).[3][4] It was identified in modern times by Anastasios Levidhis of the town of Zindji-Dérè, and first published in 1905 by Josef Markwart.

The Aramaic inscription is known as KAI 265.
