The following paper presents an unpublished votive assemblage discovered in rural Paphos District, on a site where a sanctuary of Sabazios existed during the Hellenistic Period. The finds uncovered, mostly terracotta figurines, provide valuable insight into aspects of cultic and social behaviour of Hellenistic Cyprus. Despite the poorly preserved and fragmentary condition of the material, an attempt will be made to define the nature of the deities worshipped and the cult that was celebrated.
