New Antigonid Inscriptions from Euromos

The author publishes three new decrees from the Antigonid period that were dis-covered during the 2017 excavation campaign in Euromos in the sanctuary of Zeus Lep-synos. The first two decrees were engraved on a tall stele and honour Podilos, philos, and Charmadas, phrourarchos of king Antigonos III Doson (229–221). We learn that they were brothers and came from the city of Lykastos on Crete. This is the first inscription from Caria in which Doson is mentioned, and the first evidence of a philos for this king. In the decree honouring Podilos, Euromos is described as being in a state of weakness. The second stele contains a decree honouring Lakrines, strategos of king Philip V (221–179). Lakrines was al-so a Cretan from the city of Polyrrhenia and must have been the successor of Olympichos who is known from several inscriptions. These three decrees are commented on and dis-cussed in their historical context.
