Hekate, according to Murray loc, cit. Dionysos, according to Smith and Reinach locc.
citt.) in short chiton, chlamys, and high boots, with a phidle in her right hand, a torch in
her left; Apollon in long chiton and himdtion, with a phidle in his right hand, a kithdra
in his left, and a snake-twined omphalos beside him. Beneath, in low relief, is a banquet
of six men, who recline on cushions placed upon a long mattress. On the right a cup-
bearer, in a short chiton, holds an oinochde in one hand,, an askds in the other, and draws
wine from a large krater partially sunk in the floor. On the left a seated musician plays
two flutes, one straight, one curved, while his feet beat time with kroupezai. In the centre
a girl, stark naked, is dancing, and a man in the costume of a mime-performer, with a
pair of long krdtala in his hands, is running round her at a lively pace. The pediment
above is filled with an inscription, whose ligatures point to a date in s. ii A. D. At ■ t ■

stood : 'Thallos, magistrat eponyme, a voue ce cippe a Zeus celeste et aubourg.' Murray,
Smith, and Cumont locc. citt. thought x^PV a blunder for x°PV (to which not one of them
gives the right accent). Ziebarth loc. cit., following T. Reinach in the Rev. Et. Gr. 1894
vii 391, will have it that XV was the name of the thiasos, cp. T. Wiegand in the Ath. Mitth.
