In this article three unpublished inscriptions from Keos are presented. The first inscription is a fragmentary decree from Karthaia dated in the first half of the 3rd century B.C. According to this law free women and virgins were not permitted to walk alone around the island so they can be kept safe from attack and as a result, the city would be kept quiet and peaceful, possibly because of the presence of the Ptolemaic garrison in the island during the same period. The second inscription is a new fragment which joins precisely IG XII 5, 597 from Ioulis published by Hiller in 1903. This decree dated in the 3rd century B.C. is the first direct evidence for the existence of a theatre in Ioulis. The third inscription is a dedicatory inscription dated in the second half of the 5th century B.C. from Poieessa. The archon Διοφάνης ̓Ετεοκλείδου member of an important family of Poieessa and already known in the prosopography of Keos is the dedicator to Hermes Prytaneios. The new element from this inscription is the epithet πρυτανεῖος applied to the name of the god
