description New Inscriptions from Phaselis IIn the course of increasing mass tourism the Turkish Ministry of Culture in the early 1980ies ordered excavation and restoration work in Phaselis. Fifteen of the inscriptions then discovered are published here for the first time. Of these, the two dedications to Helios and Apollon Iatros as well as the funerary stele no. 13 can be dated to the Classical period. The list of victors (no. 3) shows that in Hellenistic times the city celebrated a festival which, judging by the provenance of the winners from the Aegean region, was of Panhellenic na­ture. The honorary dedications to successful wrestlers shed some light on agonistic activities in the city in late imperial times. A dedication to Domitia Paulina (no. 7) suggests that Hadrian was accompanied by his sister during his second journey to the East. A fragment belonging to an Opramoas inscription (TAM II 1203) mentions that the famous billionaire made a donation of 12,500 denars to the Phaselites for distribution among the citizens and for financing of legations. In the 3rd century the Phaselites honoured a procurator Lyciae et Pam­phyliae named Rufus, the Lyciarch Aur. Panphilos from Arycanda and a certain Philocrates who probably hailed from Olympos. In Late Antiquity two agoranomoi financed a mosaic floor in the palaestra of the Large Baths.
