Rock-cut Inscriptions about 50 metres south of the ruins at Kaunos. These inscriptions involve the dedication of temples or shrines (likely within the rock-face itself). The first, which mentions the society-members, indicates that the dedication took place as a result of a dream vision. It may be that the second shrine was likewise connected with a society.
(a) The temple (hieron) of Zeus Xenios (“of Strangers”) has been dedicated. Agathe. . . (name of dedicator [?]) . . . society-members (thiasitai) . . . according to a dream.
(b) The temple (hieron) of the Mother has been dedicated . . .
