The Herakleia of Tralleis are mentioned in C. I. G., 2936 ; the
aywv twv ~2<7ro.pTiaTwv seems to be mentioned here and in No. XII.
for the first time.

In Tralleis, Zeus was worshipped under the name of Larasios, the
priest of Zeus Larasios being one of the principal dignitaries of state
(cf. Le Bas and Waddington, Voy. Arch., No. 604). This last
seems also clear from the fact that Flavius Kleitosthenes is priest for
life of Zeus Larasios besides holding the high office of Asiarch.

This inscription belongs to the end of the second or the beginning
of the third century a.d. The grandsons of Kleitosthenes are
mentioned as having attained to senatorial rank, and Greeks were
rarely admitted to the Roman Senate before the time of Marcus
Aurelius,

* M. Pappadopoulos-Kerameus, Charge d'une mission paleographiqtie en
Orient par le Syllogue Litteraire Grec de Constantinople, has had the goodness
to send me the following letter in regard to Nos. XI. and XII. One cannot
reasonably be expected to be acquainted with all that is published in the news-
papers of Smyrna; still I am happy to make amends for my shortcomings in this
respect by inserting the letter of M. Pappadopoulos-Kerameus in full.
