The article offers comments on inscriptions at two temples in Asia Minor: It argues that the letter of Seleukos II at the temple of Zeus in Labraunda was carved on the anta of the temple still in the time of the priest Korris and thus before all other inscriptions pertaining to the Olympichos dossier and that it was not, as previously assumed, displayed on one of the antae of the opisthodomos. The other documents of the Olympichos dossier could be understood as Mylasa’s counternarrative to Seleukos’ letter, which, under certain premises, seems to have favored Korris’ position in the dispute between Mylasa and Labraunda. In the case of the temple of Athena in Heraclea at Latmus, the presumed lacuna in the Seleucid correspondence is discussed. The architectural context of the surviving ashlars of the northern anta suggests a greater loss of text in Zeuxis’ letter than had previously been supposed
