ABSTRACT
At the southeastern edge of the acropolis of Kourion, an ancient town on the south coast of Cyprus, members of the American Mission of the Pennsylvania University Museum excavated in the thirties of the previous century the foundations of the so-called ‘Annexe of Eustolios’. The ‘Annexe’ was part of the ‘Eustolios Complex’ or ‘Eustolios House’, a huge palatial construction with richly decorated baths built on earlier foundations going back as far as the late Hellenistic period. The ‘Complex’ and its constituent parts were named by modern scholarship after an otherwise unknown personality who appears in a badly damaged mosaic floor inscription discovered in the ‘east portico’ (or ‘east hall’) of the ‘Annexe’. This inscription will be analysed below 1 .
