Popis: The three inscriptions presented here were found during the excavation of thesanctuary at Zindan Mağarası (Zindan cave). The first inscription shows that the sanctuarywas dedicated to Meter Theôn Veginos and the second inscription indicates that the sanctuary was constructed during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. The authors suggest that the chiefcity of this rural sanctuary must have been Timbriada which can be located at the ruins inAsartepe in the vicinity of the modern county of Aksu in the Province of Isparta. From thelast inscription we learn for the first time that the ancient city of Timbriada was a member ofthe Panhellenion created by the Emperor Hadrian in 131/2 A.D. The city was represented atthe assembly of the Panhellenion through its citizens Samos and Abas, most probably duringthe reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
