Artemis and the Oak
printed in extenso by O. Benndorf in the Forschangen in Ephesos Wien 1906 i. 237—274
(an exhaustive series of 435 ex-
tracts got together by E. Guhl for
his Ephesiaca Berlin 1843) and
278—282 (83 inscriptions). A
convenient summary and dis-
cussion of the data is contributed
by O. Jessen to Pauly—Wissowa
Real-Enc. v. 2753—2771. I must
content myself with two or three
typical illustrations. Among the
statuettes etc. representing Arte-
mis Ephesia (id. p. 2764 f. The
best monograph is still C. Mene-
