Summary/Abstract: The article showcases eleven stone inscriptions found during the work of the Polish archaeological mission in Kato (Nea) Paphos. The inscriptions, mostly fragmentarily preserved, occurred in secondary contexts in different areas of the Villa of Theseus, House of Aion, and Hellenistic House. They can be dated between the second century BC and the second/third centuries AD on palaeographic grounds. The lot includes fragments of honorific inscriptions, the titulus of a statue showing a personifi cation of the city of Paphos, an owner’s signature (?), and an epitaph.
