a.d., Tralleis was visited by an earthquake, a Pythian oracle delivered to the priest
Kleitosthenes represented the disaster as due to the wrath of Zeus for the city's neglect of
Poseidon the earthquake-god and directed that ample atonement should be made to both
deities (A. Hauvette-Besnault and Dubois in the Bull. Corr. Hell. 1881 v. 340 ff. = Cougny

id. 1885 i. 102) and was there identified with Zeus Aapacrios (J. B. Lightfoot The Apostolic
Fathers London 1S85 ^- *■ 617 n. 1, J. R. S. Sterrett loc. cit. 1888 ii. 327), just as in 128
a.d. he came to Athens and was there identified with Zeus 'OXv/jlttios (P. v. Rohden in
Pauly—Wissowa Real-Enc. i. 509), or just as in 132 a.d. he came to Dodona and was
there identified with Zeus Awdwvalos (id. ib. i. 512, on the strength of Corp. inscr. Gr. ii
no. 1822 cited infra Append. M. med.).

Special interest attaches to the inscription on a small marble base from A'idin in the
Purser collection at Smyrna (W. M. Ramsay in the Bull. Corr. Hell. 1883 vii. 276 f.

Ramsay comments : ' Aurelia Aemilia belonged to a family in which the ancient custom
was retained that the women should in their youth be hetairai in the service of the temple.
