Abstract
This paper presents six dedicatory inscriptions from Knidos; these inscriptions provide
information on the religious spectrum of Knidos and also the commercial buildings of the city
during the late Classical and Hellenistic Periods. The inscriptions are dedications of statues to
Hermes (nos. 1 and 2) and to Zeus Meilikhios (nos. 5 and 6), dedication of a sundial to Asklepios
(no. 3) and the dedication of a monumental altar to Zeus Agoraios (no. 4). The inscriptions
also provide epigraphical evidence of the emporion of Knidos (no. 1) and the building called
Kallippeion (no. 2).
