Kollam/Quilon Syrian copper plates, also known as Kollam Tarisappalli copper plates, or Kottayam inscription of Sthanu Ravi, or Tabula Quilonensis are a set of copper-plate grants issued by the chieftain of Kollam, Ayyan Adikal, to Christian merchant Mar Sapir Iso.[1] The royal charters are engraved in old Malayalam in Vattezhuthu (with some Grantha characters).[1] The copper plates are one of the important historical inscriptions of Kerala, the date of which has been accurately determined.[2]

The vertical plate contains a number of signatures of the witnesses to the grant in Arabic (Kufic script), Middle Persian (cursive Pahlavi script) and Judeo-Persian (standard square Hebrew script).[3]
