The article summarises the results of a survey conducted in the city of Neisa in the mountains in central Lycia in 2009. An overview of Neisa’s history and remains is followed by the pre­sen­tation of eight new inscriptions with commentary. Coins from the 2nd cent. BCE pro­­vide the earliest evidence of Neisa as an autonomous polis. The city retained its polis status into the early Prin­cipate, as is shown by inscription no. 2. According to the Stadiasmus Patarensis, Neisa was a mem­ber of the Lycian League, at the latest around the time when the province was founded, and was linked to Xanthos, Choma and Phellos by road. Although epigraphic and archaeological eviden­ce attests to a rise in Neisa’s prosperity in the age of the An­to­nines, the city had seen its heyday in the late second and early third centuries CE. The descen­dants of Diogenes II. were the leading family of Neisa and, in the closing years of the 2nd cent. CE, the first Neisans to receive Roman citizenship. The Notitiae Episcopatuum attests the existence of the city until the 12th cent. CE as a sub­ordinate diocese of Myra. The city’s most important extant monuments are the Hellenistic city wall, which was extended in a later period, the theatre, three baths and some burial sites. The cobbled main street in the southern part of the urban area is particularly well preserved and probably doubled as stadium; it was also provided with a stoa. Two new inscriptions from the early Principate furnish the first epigraphic evidence of the city’s history: Inscription no. 1 hints at a sanctuary dedicated to Augustus, while inscription no. 2 mentions repair work in baths, financed by donations from the city’s elite. Inscription no. 3 was set up in honour of Iulia Domna Augusta; nos. 4‒6 honour Diogenes II. and his descen­dants. From no. 4 we learn the public offices held by Dio­ge­nes II., whose sons, Diogenes III. and Dionysos I., were the first citizens of Neisa to attain the fe­deral priesthood. Diogenes II. had held the most important public offices in the city and was twice sent on a mission to Emperor Hadrian. His career climaxed when he obtained the post of hypo­phylax of the Lycian League, through which he also paved the way for his sons to become Lyci­archs. The person honoured in inscription no. 5 is identified with M. Aur. Dionysios II., a grandson of Diogenes II., who held the federal priesthood in the early 3rd cent. CE. Inscription no. 6 hon­ours a certain Aphphia, who was presumably the daughter of Diogenes III. and served as pries­tess of the imperial cult. The last two inscriptions concern a woman called Aristonoe alias Lycia, daugh­ter of Iason: no. 7 was erected for Aristonoe by her husband, Iason alias Erpias. The honorary inscription no. 8 was set up on decision of the Boule and Demos of Neisa, saying that Aris­to­noe together with her husband held the priesthood of the imperial cult and made donations to the city.
