This inscription was discovered in the temple at Labraunda, and from its position there it appears to have been written after the letter of Seleukos II to Olympichos ( Austin_179 - Google Books ); but the surviving part refers to events before that letter, shortly after Mylasa was given its freedom by Seleukos. The mention of Olymos in this letter to Mylasa suggests that the two cities had already joined in sympoliteia: see the introduction to inscription THI_34.
The inscription was found in 2014, and it was published in 2015 by D.Aubriet & O.Henry, "Le territoire de Mylasa et le serment d’Olympichos" ( academia.edu ). This translation is taken from its English publication by N. Carless Unwin & O. Henry, "A new Olympichos inscription from Labraunda: I.Labraunda 137" ( academia.edu ).
