Letoon trilingual

The Letoon trilingual, or Xanthos trilingual, is an inscription in three languages: standard Lycian or Lycian A, Greek, and Aramaic covering the faces of a four-sided stone stele called the Letoon Trilingual Stele, discovered in 1973 during the archeological exploration of the Letoon temple complex (devoted to the goddess Leto), near Xanthos, ancient Lycia, in present-day Turkey.

The Lētōon was a temple complex about 4 kilometers (2 mi) south of Xanthus, capital of ancient Lycia.

Pixodarus, son of Katomno (Hecatomnus), the satrap who is in Karka (Caria) and Termmila (Lycia)....[2]If the king in question was Artaxerxes III Ochus, the date of the inscription would be the first year of his reign, hence 358 BC.

Lines 5-8: the Xanthians introduce a cult for two gods, "the Kaunian Ruler and King Arkesimas".

Lines 12-20: definition of the territory owned by the temple, and of the salary to be awarded to the priest.

Lines 20-24: on behalf of the temple a new tax is instituted, to be levied when a slave is liberated.
