the note.
That there was a cult of Zeus Soter associated with Athena is
well known, though it is difficult to determine the exact place of the
sanctuary. In the Piraeus there was certainly a re/Aero? (Strabo, IX.
p. 396 ; Paus., I. 1, 3) ; and there seems to have been one in Athens
also, but it is uncertain where it stood.*

The seat of the Phaidyntes of Zeus from Pisa.
The Phaidyntai were those who had charge of the God's statue,
and attended to the cleaning of it. The word is usually written
cfxuSpwrai, coming from the verb ^atSpwetv, to wash or cleanse. The
descendants of Phidias were Phaidryntai at Olympia (Paus., V.
14, 5) ; cf. Martha, Sacer. Ath., p. 54. It is impossible to say when
this cult of Zeis Ik Ileto-T/s was introduced into Athens. The pre-
sumption is that it is late. Cf. C. I. A., III. 5 ; M., Heor., p. 236.

Vischer, who refers § 17 .to a sanctuary on the Acropolis (p. 48), suggests
in a note that it may refer to the one in Piraeus. Cf. Rang., Antiq. Hell., II.
pp. 410, 411; Welck., Gr. Gotterl., II. p. 1S4; Plut., Demos., 27; Boeckh,
S'aatsh. d. Alt., II. pp. 130, 139; C. I. A., II. 325, 326.
