Abstract
This article presents three unpublished inscriptions (nos 1–3) illustrating the public cults of Leto and of Apollo at Oinoanda. It discusses the non-participation of the Apolline priests in the city’s Demostheneia festival for Apollo and the reigning emperor, while tracing a relationship between public cults of Apollo and the imperial cult. Finally, it proposes to reinterpret a published inscription (no. 4) as being about Poseidon, rather than Apollo. ÖzetBu makalede, Oinoanda’daki halkın Leto ve Apollon kültlerini gösteren yayınlanmamış üç adet yazıt sunulmaktadır (no. 1–3). Apollon halk kültü ile imparatorluk kültü arasındaki ilişki izlenerek, Apollon rahiplerinin ve hüküm süren imparatorun, kentin Apollon için düzenlenen Demostheneia festivaline katılmaması tartışılmaktadır. Son olarak, yayınlanan bir yazıtın (no. 4) Apollon’dan ziyade Poseidon’la ilişkilendirilmesi önerilmektedir.Keywords
