ResumoSinope ancient city (modern Sinop) was established as a Milesian colony on Sinop cape where is the northernmost point of Anatolia, in the center of South Black Sea coastal strip. Rich funerary stele collection of Sinop Archeological Museum manifests the existence of stele producing since Archaic Period uninterruptedly. Unfortunately, Sinope stelae have not been published as of yet except first samples dated in Late Archaic and Classical Periods. The subject of this study is about two funerary stelae which are found in Sinop and around and belong to Hellenistic Period. The stelae are called as Sabeinos and Straton(?) based on their fencible inscriptions. There is “dexiosis” scene on both stelae which are both placed in the group of naiskos stelae. Figurative compositions were preferred for both steles. A small sized servant figure was additionally added nearby woman figure on Straton(?) Stele. When analyzing compositions and figures in scene part of stelae, understood that these two stelae were produced in the same atelier, in close periods even not by the same artist in terms of workmanship and style characteristics. There could be correlated closer with Byzantion stelae as style and subject much as the effect of Smyrna stelae are denser. In the light of stylistics comparisons, Sabeinos Stele must be made the first half of the second century BC, Straton(?) Stele must be done before in the midst of the second century BC
