1 In 82 B.C. Mithridates vi Eupator, having cleared Kappadokia of the Roman forces,
offered a solemn sacrifice to Zeus Srpdrtos. Appian. Mithr. 66, perhaps following Nikolaos
of Damaskos (T. Reinach Mithridate Eupator rot de Pont Paris 1890 p. 445 f.), describes
the scene in detail (trans. H. White): 'The news of this brilliant and decisive victory
spread quickly and caused many to change sides to Mithridates. The latter drove all of
Murena's garrisons out of Cappadocia and offered sacrifice to Zeus Stratius on a lofty pile
of wood on a high hill, according to the fashion of his country, which is as follows. First,
the kings themselves carry wood to the heap. Then they make a smaller pile encircling
the other one, on which they pour milk, honey, wine, oil, and various kinds of incense.
A banquet is spread on the ground for those present (as at the sacrifices of the Persian
kings at Pasargadse) and then they set fire to the wood. The height of the flame is such
that it can be seen at a distance of 1000 stades from the sea, and they say that nobody can
come near it for several days on account of the heat. Mithridates performed a sacrifice
of this kind according to the custom of his country.' In 74 B.C., when about to enter
Paphlagonia, Mithridates repeated the offering. Appian. Mithr. 70 (trans. White) says:
