This is the re-worked form of the author’s (: N.B.) dissertation at Neuchâtel and Bordeaux 3 prepared under the respective supervision of Denis Knoepfler and Alain Bresson, supported in 2007. Thus we have here a detailed, laborious and penetrating study of all inscriptional testimonies on the basic priesthoods of the unified polis of Rhodes and some important magistracies as a fundamental chronological grid of the island and its political and social life. The inscriptions considered (and often re-dated and re-evaluated) include name catalogues of priests and archons not only from the constituent demes (and ex-poleis) of the island, Lindos, Kamiros and Ialysos, but also from the rich evidence of Rhodian amphora-stamps found at many places outside Rhodes. One has in all the impression of a huge material being here for the first time so meticulously organized and questioned to gain not only crucial conclusions on the dating of Rhodian documents but also insights into the system on the basis of which the whole island state worked.
