The Athenian Greek-Phoenician inscriptions are 18 ancient Phoenician inscriptions found in the region of Athens, Greece (also known as Attica). They represent the second largest group of foreign inscriptions in the region after the Thracians (25 inscriptions). 9 of the inscriptions are bilingual Phoenician-Greek and written on steles. Almost all of them bear the indication of the deceased's city of origin, not just the more general designation of their ethnicity, like most other non-Greek inscriptions in the region.[1]

ISBN 978-3-11-093463-2. Es gibt insgesamt achtzehn Grabstelen für Phönizier in Attika (Kat. 51-68), womit diese die zweitgrösste Gruppe nach den Thrakern mit fünfundzwanzig Monumenten bilden. Ihr auffälligstes Merkmal ist die Zweisprachigkeit: Neun Stelen tragen neben der griechischen auch eine phönizische Inschrift. Bemerkenswert ist ferner, dass vierzehn der erhaltenen Stelen für Männer errichtet wurden und diese fast alle im Namen die Angabe ihrer Herkunftsstadt tragen, nicht die nur die allgemeinere Bezeichnung ihrer Volkszugehörigkeit, wie die meisten anderen Nichtgriechen.
