Sillyon. Note on an inscription already published

CIG iii. 4324c = SGDI 1268. This inscription is carved in a panel on a rock to the west of the city, near the modern village. Height ·16 m., breadth ·175, letter and space down ·026, letter and space across ·019

Perhaps [Όλυμ]πιακοῦ, since ἱαρός can be used in connexion with the Games, as in Lanckoroński, Städte Pämphyliens und Pisidiens, i, p. 66; but the meaning is uncertain; ἱερά generally means ‘a dead-heat’ (LSJ ἱερός iv. 7).

Sillyon. New inscriptions

(1) A statue-base, near the Byzantine wall. Grey stone, the top and the lower part of the left side are preserved. The bottom is buried and the back is very rough, but may be original. Height over ·7, breadth c. ·65, thickness ·33+, letter height c. ·058, letter and space across ·056. Roman date.

2 Heights and breadths of letters and spaces in these inscriptions have been found by measuring the largest practicable number of these and taking an average.

Hist. 115Google Scholar F 103 with commentary, cf. also Pliny, v. 26.96; references for Kilikia in Kruse, article in RE xvi. 242–3Google Scholar, and those of Ruge. ibid. 243–51 (1933), cf. Höfer in Roscher s.v. Mopsos II (1897), who quotes Theopompos as saying that he colonised Lydia as well (see n. 8). For Eustathios's mention of him see p. 65.

7 For Mallos, , Arrian, , Anab. ii. 5.9Google Scholar, for Aspendos cf. Roscher. Mela (i. 14) says that it was subse quently occupied by ‘finitimi’. Nobody calls the colonists Theban, though the Theban refugees were said to have been sent to Kolophon with his parents, see n. 5, also p. 64 and nn. 34 to 42.

8 Xanthos, quoted by Athenaios, viii. 37.346e = FHG i. 38, No. 11; also Nikolaos, of Damaskos, , F. Gr. Hist., 90Google Scholar F 16. This last calls him Μόξος cf. Barnett, , JHS lxxiii (1953), p. 142Google Scholar, and below, n. 11.

9 The Greek date for Mopsos the coloniser is discussed by Huxley, in the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies, 1956, pp. 19–27.Google Scholar He thinks that Eusebios, who makes Mopsos ‘reign’ in Kilikia while the Trojan war was in progress, is at variance with the other accounts, which put the colonisation later. This is not quite certain; some of the other accounts are unrelated to Trojan chronology (e.g. Pausanias, vii. 3.1–2), while others imply that the colonisation took place very soon after the Trojan War; compare on the one hand Hdt. vii. 91 and Strabo xiv. 4.3, p. 668, and on the other Theopompos F. 351.

10 Roscher and RE, loc. cit. There is no evidence of any connexion between Pamphylia and Thessaly except the alleged connexion between Kasthanaia (near Mopsion, Strabo ix. 5.22, 443) and Aphrodite Kastnietis, see p. 64 and n. 37.

11 He made the claim on the well-known inscription from Karatepe, published with an English translation by O'Callaghan, in Orientalia, 1949, p. 175.Google Scholar It is dated to the eighth century by most of the commentators because of the name of Azitawad's predecessor Awarikus, but to the ninth by Gordon, , JNES, 1949, p. 108.Google Scholar There is a puzzle, because of various translations of the second line, as to whether Azitawad was a usurper (cf. O'Callaghan, p. 193), or the son of Awarikus (Bossert, , Oriens, 1949, pp. 93–5Google Scholar). or a hereditary ruler but not the son of Awarikus (Marcus, and Gelb, , JNES, 1949, pp. 116–17Google Scholar). It is therefore not quite certain whether he descended from Mopsos.

12 The evidence that Estwediiys was Aspendos will be found in Eckhel, , Doctr. Num. 3.25–6Google Scholar, cf. also Head, , HN 700.Google Scholar

21 If there were a board, οἱ περὶ would be a natural expression; cf. e.g. Sterrett, , Papers Amer. S.A., iii (1884–1885)Google Scholar, No. 291 for a board of priests.

24 Sterrett, loc. cit., 597 = MAMA iv. 137, though this is made easier by the word εὐχήν. Cf. also CIG iii. 4315n = TAM ii. 910.

25 They were generally named after gods, bene-factors, or the age-groups of the users, RE vii. 2012. They could be named after festivals they were organising, ib. 1985–6.

87 By Le Bas–Waddington (Commentary on No. 1173), Collignon (BCH 1879, p. 336), Sterrett (Papers Amer. S.A., 1883–4, p. 112); Ramsay (JRS viii (1918), p. 139) and Jessen (RE v. 2731–2). Ramsay suggests that in Asia Minor it is a special epithet of the supreme deity, but that is not always the case, cf. SEG vi. 392, from near Laodikeia, Άπόλλωνι Σᾡζοντι, Άνγδισι ἐπηκόῳ, Ή[λί]ου, Μητρὶ Ζιζιμμηνῇ. This last we should expect to find called ἐπήκοος if Ramsay is right.

91 Weinreich, p. 5, quoting Hesychios, and Insch. von Priene, 1906, p. 132, where the title is in an inscription on an altar in the nominative, and therefore probably not ‘the goddess who heard my prayer’.

92 Weinreich, p. 12 and pp. 19–21; add the dedication [θ]εοῖς ἐ[π]ηκόοις with three horsemen armed with spears, near Ganzaia, JHS xxxii (1912), p. 169, and θεᾶ ἐπικῷ near Attaleia, SEG ii. 709.
