(\u2026) they were individual cults, and as such they are explained in the context of  the cultic shift occurring in the first century BC, when the collective cults of benefactors was superseded by the cult of individuals (which was soon to be superseded by the cult of the emperor). Scholars usually assume that, from the reign of Augustus onwards, such individuals were mostly offered \u2018chthonian\u2019 (or else \u2018heroic\u2019) and not divine sacrifices\u201d<\/td><\/tr>

Artemidorus of Knidos (\u1f08\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03af\u03b4\u03c9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2) was a native of the city of Knidos in Caria, southwest Anatolia, whose name was found on an inscription at Knidos by Sir Charles Thomas Newton; that Artemidorus was honored in this way could be due to the tax remittance granted by Caesar (friends of his son Theopompus) to the Knidians as a reward for his families\u2019 adherence (vd. Plut. Caes. <\/em>48). Artemidoros may have used his influence in Rome to obtain further privileges for Knidos, perhaps after the battle of Actium; at any rate, exceptional honours were voted for him in in his lifetime as we can see in the inscriptions

The inscription tells us that Artemidorus will receive a crown of olive (IK<\/em> 59 l. 1, [\u03c7\u03c1\u03c5\u03c3]<\u03ad>\u03c9\u03b9 \u03b8\u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u1fe6 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c6\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9\u03b9), three crowns of gold (IK<\/em> 59 l. 2, [\u03c7\u03c1]\u03c5\u03c3\u03ad\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c6\u03ac\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03af), three bronze statues (IK<\/em> 59 l. 3, [\u03c7\u03b1]\u03bb\u03ba\u03ad\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u1f76), and anonther three made of marble and gold (IK<\/em> 59 l. 2-3, \u03bc\u03b1\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03c1\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2 [\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9]\u03c3\u1f76 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c7\u03c1\u03c5\u03c3\u03ad\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03af); Artemidorus also will receive the right of wearing crowns and precedence at all public games for him and his descendants (IK<\/em> 59 l. 5, \u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03af\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03b5\u03b4\u03c1\u03af\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2); when Artemidorus departs from life, he was  honoured with a public funeral and burial in the city in the most prominent place within the gymnasium (IK<\/em> 59 l. 8-11). Artemidoros will be priest for life of Artemis Hiakynthotrophos and Epiphanes (IK<\/em> 59 l. 15, \u1f31\u03b5\u03c1\u03b5\u1f7a\u03c2 [\u1f51]\u03c0\u03ac\u03c1\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9 \u03b4\u03b9\u1f70 \u03b2\u03af\u03bf\u03c5).

The people of Knidus also honoured him with god-like honours (IK<\/em> 59 l. 16, \u03c4\u03b9\u03bc\u03b1\u1fd6\u03c2 \u1f30\u03c3\u03bf\u03b8\u03ad\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2) and set up an altar for him (IK<\/em>  59 l. 15, \u03b2\u03c9\u03bc\u1f78\u03bd); the festival was called \u1f08\u03c1\u03c4\u03b5\u03bc\u03b9\u03b4\u03ce\u03c1\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 (IK<\/em> 59 l. 18)
