§ A1  During the priesthood [held] by Teisylos, the son of Sosikrates, on the twelfth of the month Artamitios, it was resolved by the mastroi and the Lindians:
Hagesitimos the son of Timakhos, citizen of Lindos, spoke: since the hieron of Athena the Lindian, both the most archaic and the most venerable in existence, has been adorned with many beautiful offerings from the earliest times on account of the visible presence of the goddess, and since it happens that most of the offerings together with their inscriptions have been destroyed on account of time, it has been resolved with the presumption of good fortune by the mastroi and the Lindians, with the authorization of this decree, that two men be selected. Let these men, once selected, set up a stele of stone from Lartos according to what the architect writes and let them inscribe on it this decree. Let them inscribe from the letters and from the public records and from the other evidence whatever may be fitting about the offerings and the visible presence of the goddess, making the copy of the stele with the secretary of the mastroi, the [secretary] now in office.
Let the hierotamias make a payment to the men selected for the setting up of the stele and the copy of the inscription not more than that which Pyrgoteles the architect declares, 200 drachmas. And let the superintendents show the place in the hieron of Athena the Lindian on which the stele shall be erected in the coming month of Agrianios. If anyone should not carry out any one of the items written in this decree, let him pay as a fine 500 drachmas sacred to Athena Lindia. Selected: Tharsagoras the son of Stratos from Ladarma and Timakhidas, the son of Hagesitimos, citizen of Lindos.

§ D1  Epiphanies.
When Darius king of the Persians sent out great forces for the enslavement of Greece, his naval expedition landed on this first of the islands. When throughout the land people became terrified at the onset of the Persians, some fled together to the most fortified places, but the majority were gathered at Lindos. The enemy established a siege and besieged them, until, on account of the lack of water, the Lindians, being worn down, were of a mind to surrender the city to the enemy.
During this time, the goddess, standing over one of the rulers in his sleep, called upon him to be bold, since she was about to ask her father for the much-needed water for them.
After he had seen the vision, he announced to the citizens the command of Athena. They, reckoning that they had enough to hold out for five days only, asked only for a truce of that many days from the enemy, saying that Athena had sent away to her own father for help, and if there was nothing forthcoming in the allotted time, they said that they would hand the city over to them.

§ D26  Datis, the admiral for Darius, when he heard this, immediately laughed. But when on the next day a great dark storm cloud settled over the acropolis and a big storm rained down across the middle, then, paradoxically, the ones being besieged had abundant water, but the Persian force was in need.
The enemy was astounded at the manifestation of the goddess and took off his own accoutrements covering his body; he sent for dedication the mantle and torque and armlets, and in addition to these the Persian cap and Persian curved short sword, and even the covered carriage, which had previously survived, but during the priesthood of Halios [held] by Eukles the son of Astyanax, when the temple was burnt, it was burnt up with most of the dedications. Datis himself broke up his quarters because of the events aforementioned, made a treaty of friendship with the besieged people, and declared in addition that the gods protect these people. About these things Eudemos declares in his work Lindian Topics, Ergias in the fourth book of his Investigations, Polyzalos in the fourth book of his Investigations, Hieronymos in the second book of his Heliaka, Myron in the eleventh book of his Encomium of Rhodes, Tìmokritos, in the first book of his Annalistic Account, Hieron in the first book of his work About Rhodes. But Xenagoras says in the fourth book of his Annalistic Account that the epiphany happened when Mardonios had already been dispatched by Datis. Aristion also speaks about the manifestation in the... of his Annalistic Account.

§ D60  Another (epiphany).
During the priesthood of Halios [held] by Pythannas, the son of Arkhipolis, in Lindos someone having been shut in secretly at night hanged himself from the supports set firmly in the wall along the back of the statue. And when the Lindians wished to send to Delphi and to ask what it was necessary to do about the incident, the goddess, standing over the priest in his sleep, commanded him to be serene about these and to lay bare of the roof that part above the statue and to leave it as is until three days should pass and it should be cleansed by the washings of her father. Then to reconstruct the roof just as it had been before and after purifying the temple in the customary ways to make a sacrifice according to ancestral custom to Zeus... to the mostrai of the priest and ...

§ D87  ... Eudemos in his work About Lindos, Timokritos in the third book of his Annalistic Account, Xenagoras in the... of his Annalistic Account, Onomastos in the second book of his Annalistic Account, Aristonymos in his Collection of Dates.

§ D94  Other [epiphany]:
When the city was besieged by Demetrius, Kallikles, having retired from the priesthood of Athena the Lindian, but still living in Lindos, believed that the Goddess stood over him in his sleep to command him to announce to one of the prytaneis, Anaxipolis, that he should write to King Ptolemy and should invite [him] to come to the aid of the city, since she would lead and she would secure both victory and dominance. But if he did not announce this to the prytanis and if that man [Anaxipolis] did not write to Ptolemy, they would be sorry. The first time that Kallikles saw the vision, he did nothing. But when the same thing happened to him repeatedly – for six nights in a row standing over his head she made the same command -- then Kallikles, arriving at the city, set forth these things to the council members and made things clear to Anaxipolis. The council members dispatched Anaxipolis to Ptolemy. …
