THRACE AND ASIA MINOR


For the general form of this inscription cf. C. I. G.
4268, and for the heading Dittenberger, Or. Gr.
Inscr. ii, No. 565.
I. 1. ' Αλαίμιος. For these masculine names in -is,
which are especially common in Lycia, cf. C. I. G.
4269^, add. p. 1124. The &'$■ signifies that Jason
was the second of that name, i. e. he bore the
same name as his father. Alaimis was his errand-
o
father. The inscriptions more usually have β fol-
lowing the name to indicate this fact, as in No. 1046.
’Απολλώνιοι β τον 'Ερμογένους. Cf. Ramsay in Class.
Rev. xiv, p. 82 ff. and No. 966.
II. 2, 3. 3ίκαιον Ανρη. This can hardly mean any-

thing but ‘ as the lawful property of the Aurelii ’.
Taking Συμφέροντος as a proper name, the meaning
probably is ‘we bought the property of Aurelius
Sympheron son of Damocharis of Xanthos through
the officials, &c.’ For the meaning of αρχεία, cf.
No. 1029, 1. 5.
1. 6. c7Ti τώ τεθήναι . . . Cf. C. I. G. 4278 : Αύρήλιος
'Eρμακότας Γλαύκου έωνήσατο to ήρ[ω\ειον επί τώ τεθήναι
αυτόν 7Έ και την γυναίκα κ.τ.λ.
Second or perhaps third century a. d. ; the name
Aurelius becomes common after the bestowal of
citizenship on the Roman world by Caracalla (cf.
Dittenberger, Syl/oge2, ii, No. 740, 1. 32).

This inscription, though it came into the Museum
in 1825, appears to have been overlooked by Boeckh
and other editors of the Corpus. It is a decree in
honour of certain άγορανόμοι. The lettering points to
a late Greek or early Roman date, say in the first
century b. c. Note the presence of both Π and Π.
1. 18. ΎΩραι. No temple of the Horai is known at

Attaleia, but their worship was widespread. We find
it at Athens (Pausanias ix. 35. 2 ; Athenaeus xiv,
p. 656 a); Argos (Paus. ii. 20. 4); Olympia (Paus,
v. 15. 3); probably also at Corinth and Kamarina.
See Krause, Die M/usen und Grazien, p. 123; Stengel
in Pauly-Wissowa, s. v. Horai.

DORYLAEON.
1045. Bearded bust of hard limestone, with inscription below. Rough style. Ht. 2 ft. 2^in. C. I. G. 3817 b (add.); Smith,
B. M. Cat. of Sculpt, iii. 1521; Arch. Zeit. 1848. p. 107*. Acquired 1848.
Zeus ‘ the Thunderer ’ was worshipped in Phrygia however, has yielded the largest number of inscrip-
in several places in the Roman period; Dorylaeon, tions in his honour. Nakoleia has also supplied
part iv. 2 p P
