Öz: Bu çalışmada Uşak Müzesi’nden Meter Leto için yeni bir adak steli tanıtılmaktadır. Stel üzerindeki yazıtta Tanrıça “Meter” epithet’iyle adlandırılmış ve “Tykhes” adında bir kadının stel üzerindeki el kabartmasından anlaşıldığı üzere sol elindeki rahatsızlığın iyileşmesine yardımcı olmuştur. Leto’nun bu stelde de belgelenen sağaltıcı kimliği Homeros’tan itibaren vurgulanmıştır. Nitekim Leto Artemis ile birlikte Diomedes tarafından yaralanan Aineas’ın şifa bulmasını sağlamıştır. Meter epitheton’uyla birlikte Leto’nun sağlatıcı kimliğini Lydia ve Phrygia bölgesinde ele geçen stellerde görmek mümkündür.
