In this article, four inscriptions are published that were found in the surroundings of Ephesos and are now kept in the «Açık Hava Deposu», the open-air storage of the Efes Müzesi in Selçuk at the fringes of the Ephesos excavation. The first text is a dedication to Zeus, Artemis and the emperor Antoninus Pius, erected in the village of the Bonitai; it is dated after several functionaries and mentions the repair of the rural bathhouse. A second dedication, unfortunately fragmentary, is addressed to Hekate and Demeter, called the «gods who listen». The third and very much damaged text is presumably what remains of an honorary inscription for a poet, and the last is the second part of an epitaph on a tomb which is said to have consisted of three parts.
