This paper examines an unpublished dedicatory inscription to Artemis (Ephesia?), which was found in Pogla in Pisidia by S. Mitchell. The dedication seems to have accompanied a sculptured bare foot or a foot with a sandal, which has not survived. The inscription is set against a whole set of feet- and footwear-related monuments and dedicatory inscriptions from the nearby regions with special emphasis on similar dedications from Termessos. Moreover, the present paper examines the relationship between the Pogla dedication and another dedicatory monument in honour of Artemis Ephesia (in all likelihood from Cremna), which was first published and discussed by G.H.R Horsley in 1992
