Summary/Abstract: In this paper is published the altar of the main Thracian Deity Zbeltiurd found in Kosova (Figs. 1a-c), which, even though pretty damaged, through preserved epigraphic data offers valuable data. This altar, together with the one found earlier in Kosova of antique Shkup consist the only epigraphic evidences of this deity in Dardania, which from onomastic data of devotees mainly were devoted by natives, testifying that they were also honored by Dardan Illyrian population. These epigraphic dedications together with three iconographic dedications from Naisi and Timakum minusi (Figs. 2-4) consist by now entire monuments dedicated to this deity in Dardan territory.
