Stoa of Psithyros - Acropolis of Lindos - Lindos, Greece - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"During the Roman period in the 2nd c. AD, a stoa (portico) dedicated to the oracular demon Psithyros was constructed alongside the temple of Athena Lindia. It defined the southern edge of the courtyard located in the upper terrace of the acropolis between the propylaia and the temple. The Stoa is in the lonic order, 4,00m — 4,60m wide and had a colonnade at its facade, consisting of five or seven columns with a probable height of 4,26m.

The excavation by the Danish Archaeological Mission brought to light five sections of the colonnade’s stylobate and a certain number of drums were attributed to the monument.

As part of the interventions funded by the NSRF, a column with its capital was restored to a complete height. The stylobate and sections of other columns were also restored, using mainly ancient material.

[An] inscribed base, ca AD 200, refers to Seleukos who built a temple in honour of Psithyros and suggested that the god should not be honoured with an offering of less than one drachma."
