The recent discovery on Bahrain of an important Greek inscription, Inscription 1, offers valuable new information on the history of this island and of the Gulf. At this time, it seems to us opportune to publish two previously unpublished Greek texts, Inscription 2 and Inscription 4, which, together with Inscription 3, another inscription already known but slightly corrected by a new reading, form a whole. These texts allow for a preliminary evaluation of Greek epigraphy on Bahrain. All of the inscriptions presented here are housed in the Bahrain National Museum.
