The Cappadocia Güray Museum is a private institution housing a diverse array of archaeological artifacts spanning different historical periods. Among the museum's inventory are three amphora stamps, all originating from the island of Rhodes. Eponyms and fabricant names have been identified on these stamps. The names of Ἀρχοκράτης II and Ἀρχοκράτης have been determined in the eponym stamps. It is stated that Ἀρχοκράτης II served c. 185 BC and Ἀλεξίμαχος c. 150 – c. 147 BC in the eponym. The fabricant’s stamp also belongs to Ὄλυμπος I. The stamps on amphorae with both handles preserved are important for determining the activity period of this fabricant. The years of service of the eponyms associated with Ὄλυμπος I indicate that the fabricant produced amphorae between c. 185 – c. 174/172 BC. In the stamp where the name of Ἀρχοκράτης II is determined as the eponym, the month name Δάλιος and the rose symbol are seen. In the stamp where the name of the eponym Ἀλεξίμαχος is identified, there is Πάναμος as the month name. There is a burning torch on the stamp, where the fabricant’s name is Ὄλυμπος I.
