The Doliskana inscriptions (
Georgian: დოლისყანას წარწერები) are the
Georgian language inscriptions written in the Georgian
Asomtavruli script on the
Doliskana Monastery, located in the historical
medieval Georgian
Kingdom of Tao-Klarjeti (modern-day
Artvin Province of
Turkey). The inscriptions mention Georgian prince and titular king
Sumbat I of Iberia.
[1] The inscriptions are dated to the first half of the 10th century.
