page 275 note 1 It would be quite possible to take 
as ‘who was sent as successor with Charimortos,’ but for a pre-designated successor to accompany his chief to the hunting-grounds would be curious, and, if Alexandras and Apoasis were simply in the suite of Charimortos, why has the latter, the chief of the expedition, no hand in the dedication of this tablet ? On the whole, therefore, I should prefer to take the passage as meaning ‘who was sent as Charimortos' successor, with others’ (i.e. Apoasis and his soldiers).

page 276 note 3 I have to thank Mr. Cecil Smith, Assistant-Keeper of the Greek and Roman Antiquities in the British Museum, for drawing my attention to these Pisidian towns, and most kindly affording me information respecting them. I am also indebted to M. Paul Perdrizet, and to Mr. G. F. Hill, of the Dept. of Coins and Medals, for suggestions.

page 277 note 4 The name may be connected with that of the river Oraendos, on the other side of the Limnai, about thirty miles from the Oroandian country. Pliny (v. 27) vaguely notes a range of the Taurus called Oroandês. This latter form occurs as a proper name; e.g. the Kretan merchant who so woefully deceived King Perseus at Samothrace (Plutarch, Aemil. Paul. c. 26; Livy, xlv. 6).

page 277 note 7 ib. p. 143. This inscription, recounting honours paid to various persons by the Senate and People of the Kotennians and Erymnians, dates from Roman times.
page 277 note 8 In another form of the name, ῞Γτννα, the aspirate is kept.
page 278 note 1 Lanckoroński, Städte Pamphyliens und Pisidiens, i. 86. The military reputation of Aspendos dates an earlier period, and we find a trace of it in the coin-types of the state. The earliest of these is Fighting Man; later a Slinger was adopted as a stateemblem, and though there is no doubt here a play on the word. σφενδ⋯νη and on the name of the town, it is probable that the idea first took shape on account of the fame of the slingers of Aspendos. The slinger-type was also used by Selgê. But far earlier than this had Pisidian mercenaries hired, themselves out for war, if we are to accept the very probable identification of the Pidsa and Shakalasha who fought on the side of the Kheta against Egypt and raided the Delta circa 1300 B.c. with the Pisidians generally and Sagalasseis.
page 278 note 2 The Aspendian Eumêlos whose epitaph has been found at Amathous (B.C.H. xx. p. 354), and the ᾿ Ασπ⋯νδιος of an inscription from Larnaka (ib. p. 338) were probably mercenaries.
page 278 note 3 Prof. Mahaffy (Ptolemies, p. 273) wishes to place Ȧrqȧmen in the reign of Ptolemy Philopatôr because both bore the appellation Meri-Ȧsit, ‘Beloved of Isis,’ which he considers was copied by Ȧ;rqȧmen from the cartouche of Philopatôr. Diodôros (iii. 6) places him in the reign of Philadelphos : Philopatôr added to a shrine at Dakkeh built by Ȧrqȧmen. Prof. Mahaffy would make the very possible emendation of the cursive β´ of Diodôros' text to δ´, and then supposes that Ȧrqȧmen revolted from Philopatôr and set up as an independent kinglet, imitating his late suzerain's cartouche, and, further, that the ‘architectural combination’ at Dakkeh ‘points to a peaceful settlement between Ptolemy and the Nubian prince.’ Undoubtedly the cartouche of Ȧrqȧmen strongly resembles that of Philopatôr, and, as Prof. Mahaffy points out, it is unlikely that Philopatôr copied the cartouche of Ȧrqȧmen.

page 279 note 2 This inscription exhibits the usual Ptolemaic inaccuracies, e.g. 
for

page 279 note 4 So Naville, l.c. This would be the canal joining the Nile to the Red Sea, through the Wady Tumilât (cf. Tozer, Hist. Anc, Geog. p. 146). But the translation ‘canal’ is doubtful.
