In this article eleven new inscriptions from Knidos are presented. Nine of them (nos. 1–9) were found in 2013 and 2014 at the eastern section of the Dionysos Terrace, to the west of the small theater, near the western analemma. The two last inscriptions (nos. 10 and 11) were detected in 2013 on the western analemma of the small theater. Most of the texts are honorary inscriptions on statue bases dated to the period from 3rd century BC to 1st century BC. An exeption is no. 9, which has a sepulchral context, while the character of the fragmentary no. 8 remains uncertain. Four of the honorary inscriptions (nos. 1, 3, 5, 6) contain artist signatures. Zenodotos of Knidos, son of Menippos mentioned in the inscription no. 3, was one of the most notable sculptors of Knidos in the 1st half and the middle of the 2nd century BC. The sculptors Hermonax mentioned in no. 1, as well as Diokles and Di[- -] mentioned in no. 6 are attested for the first time
