A New Hellenistic Contribution List from Tymnos in Karia. The Kaletepe Inscription

Abstract

This article introduces a new fragmentary inscription discovered on the hillside during the archaeological survey at Kaletepe, situated northeast of Bozburun, in 2022. The inscription, which dates to the Hellenistic period, lists eight non-natives of Tymnos along with their hometowns and monetary contributions for the augmentation (epauxesis) of an unidentified purpose. Parallel examples suggest that they may have been affiliated with a cult or a professional association.
