Abstract

This article introduces a new fragmentary inscription discovered on the hillside during the archaeological survey at Kaletepe, situated northeast of Bozburun (Marmaris/Muğla), in 2022. The inscription, which dates to the Hellenistic period, lists eight non-natives of Tymnos along with their ethnics 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 profession-al association.
