A dedication to the goddess Ma with the imprint of a bare foot, 1st century BC (National Museum in Warsaw).

Ma was a local goddess at Comana in Phrygian Cappadocia. Her temple in Comana is described at length by Strabo (XI, 521; XII, 535, 537[clarification needed]). She has been interpreted as a "mother" goddess and compared to Cybele, but has also been compared to Syrian Enyo.
