anta of the prSnaos is inscribed a letter, in which Avidius Quietus, proconsul of Asia
(125—126 A.D.), informs the people of Aizanoi that a long-standing dispute with regard
to the temple-estates has been happily settled. He adds three Latin documents dealing
with the matter—(A) the emperor's rescript, (B) his own letter to the imperial procurator,
(C) the beginning of the procurator's reply (Corp. inscr. Gr. iii no. 3835 (cp. ib. p. 1064^)

The neocorate is further evidenced by coins (Brit. Mus. Cat. Coins Phrygia p. 28

(Invent. Wadd., PI. xv. 7) the city claims the title of Neokorate of this divinity
(NeflKOPflN TOY A IOC).' Head Hist, num.'2' p. 664).

A copper of Phrygia Epiktetos, struck at Aizanoi (F. Imhoof-Blumer in the Festschrift
fiir Otto B'enndorf ^ Wien 1898 p. 202) probably after 133 B.C., has obv. bust of Zeus,
laureate, to right, rev. ETTIKTH TEO-N eagle on thunderbolt (Brit. Mus. Cat. Coins
Phrygia p. 200 pi. 26, 2). (^^.K-autonomous and imperial coppers of Aizanoi show Zeus
standing to left, half-draped in a himdtion, with an eagle in his right hand, and a long
sceptre in his left (ib. p. 28 no. 33 f. time of Gallienus ; pp. 30 ff., 38 f., 41 f- pi. 5, 8
Augustus, 9 Claudius. Fig. 856 is from a specimen, struck by Caligula, in my collection),

also the same figure in a tetrastyle temple with arch over central intercolumniation (ib.
p. 39 no. 113 M. Aurelius). There can be no doubt that we have here the cult-statue of
the god. A copper issued by Commodus has rev. AIZA NCITfl Na goat standing to
right, with head turned back, suckling the infant Zeus (ib. p. 40 pi. 6, 3 ( = my fig. 857)).
Another copper of Commodus, in the Lobbecke collection, has rev. AIZAN6I TiTlN
an eagle standing to right on a column, but turning its head backwards, flanked by a
flaming altar on the left and a tree on the right (Imhoof-Blumer Kleinas. Miinzen i. 191
no. 11).
