Maybaum Der Zeuskult in Boeotien Doberan 1901 p. 6 draws attention to the proper
names derived from this appellative : KapaibyeiTos (Thespiai), Kapats (Anthedon), Kapd't'xos
(Lebadeia, Orchomenos), Kapa'tW (Orchomenos). E. Sittig De Graecorum noviinibus

icpearios (O. Heifer in Roscher Lex. Myth. ii. 1212). But F. Solmsen in the Rhein. Mus.
1898 liii. 157 f., observing that the Tegeate tribe KXapecoYts (Paus. 8. 53. 6: Schwedler
cj. KXaptcoTts) had tribesmen KpaptcoYai (F. Bechtel in Collitz—Bechtel Gr. Dial.-Inschr.
i. 351 ff. no. 1231, 357 ff. no. 1247), and that the names of the three other tribes 'Itttto-
OoItls, ' AttoWcovicltis, 'Adavearis are all derived from deities, contends that Zeus KXttptos
is for Zeus *Kpaptos, 'ein " hdchster Zeus" oder ein "Zeus der Bergeshohe."' His view
is accepted by Adler in Pauly—Wissowa Real-Uric. xi. 552 and may well be right.

Zeus KXdptos of Eustath. in Dionys. per. 444 \eyerai be Kal Atos KXaptou ixavTetov elvai
avrbdi {sc. at KXdpos near Kolophon) must not be confounded with Zeus KXdptos.

1 Zeus Ao(peiT7]s. A cult of this deity at Perinthos (later known as Herakleia) on the
Propontis is evidenced by the following inscriptions: (1) on the back of a rectangular
marble altar, between Rodosto and Eregli (Perinthos), in letters of s. ii a.d. Att AocpetTiy

had come from Herakleia, the small island off the coast of Naxos). (3) From Perinthos:
