This new work presents the Greek inscriptions from Molossia or from other regions related to the Molossians. In the first part the Greek and Latin literary sources are presented, which deal with Molossia and in particular Dodona. The second part covers the history of Molossia and the sanctuary of Dodona from literary, archaeological and epigraphic sources. This part also examines neighboring regions (Thesprotis, Cassope and even the Chaonians united with the kingdom of the Aiakides from the beginning of the 3rd century BC, then in the koinon of Epirotes until the disaster of 167). The third part of the book brings together 298 inscriptions from Molossia or concerning Molossians in other regions of the ancient Greek world, as well as some new documents related to the other regions presented in the first four volumes. The oracular lamellae are not included in this volume.
