This paper presents six dedicatory inscriptions from Knidos; these inscriptions provide information on the religious spectrum of Knidos and also the commercial buildings of the city during the late Classical and Hellenistic Periods. The inscriptions are dedications of statues to Hermes (nos. 1 and 2) and to Zeus Meilikhios (nos. 5 and 6), dedication of a sundial to Asklepios (no. 3) and the dedication of a monumental altar to Zeus Agoraios (no. 4). The inscriptions also provide epigraphical evidence of the emporion of Knidos (no. 1) and the building called Kallippeion (no. 2).
