Abstract :
[en] This article reconsiders a fragmentary dedication to Hestia Pantheos. It explores the intriguing grammatical particularities of the inscription and the restitutions suggested by previous editors, focusing on their impact on the understanding of the spatial setting of the sanc- tuary. It will be argued that the sacred place would have hosted a cult of Hestia Pantheos nearby a second cult space devoted to the Theoi Euergetai as synnaoi of another deity, maybe Zeus. In this respect, the inscription sheds light on how dedicators managed to create the religious persona of the king in the broad framework of the Hellenistic ruler cult, mostly through the closeness of sacred spaces dedicated to ancient and new gods and the use of epithets specifying particular functions.
