In view of Asklepios' early connexion with Thessaly, special importance
must be attached to the names 'Ao-KaXcnriabas at Iolkos (H. G. Lolling in the
Ath. Mitth. 1883 viii. 115 no. 9, 1, Collitz—Bechtel Gr. Dial.-Inschr. i. 378 no.

been much debated, and is still questionable. The ancients—children in philo-
logy—jumped to the conclusion that the second element in the name was rjivios,
'mild,' and used this word (Lyk. Al. 1054 with Tzetz. ad loc, et. mag. pp. 154,
