Votive exedra of the priest Pamphilidas son of Telesarcos - Acropolis of Lindos - Lindos, Greece - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"The semicircular exedra was an ex-voto of Pamphitidas son of Telesarcnés, priest of Athena Lindia and Zeus Polieus in 215 BC. The bronze statue op him had been placed at the centre of the back rest, as recorded in the incised inscription, and was flanked by three smaller statues. The sculptures were the work of the famed artist Phyles son of Polygnotos from Halikarnassos. A series of bases with his signature attests that works by him were set up in the sanctuary of Delos, in Kamiros, Lindos and the city of Rhodes.

Some time in the 2nd century BC, the statue of his son and namesake Pamphilidas was added to the exedra, an ex-voto of the Lindians created by tke Rhodian sculptor Pythokritos. Numerous signed statue bases by the renowned sculptor have been found in the Lindian sanctuary, in the Rhodian territory and elsewhere.

Later, in the 1st century BC, when the family once again acquired wealth and power, additional statues of its members were set up on the exedra. These were sculpted by Plutarchos son of Heliodoros, according to the inscriptions. Plutarchos, from the city of Apameia in Asia Minor, became a Rhodian citizen and served as official in charge of athletics games (agonothetes), treasurer, general (strategos), official who presided over the appointment of jurors by drawing lots, magistrate of foreigners and prytanis."
