i. 193 n. 3. W. M. Calder in the Class. Rev. 1910 xxiv. 77 ff. no. 1 (id. ib. 1924
xxxviii. 29 n. 1) published the inscription, of c. 260—270 A.D. (not of s. i), on an oblong
pillar built into a house-wall at Baliik-Laou and derived from a temple of Zeus at or near
Sedasa (Ak-Ki/isse), where Zeus was identified with the sun-god and presented with
a sun-dial : M[a][Kpetyos 6 | kcu 'X^affKav\ros Ktxi Bdra|(rts Bperao^Sos "Epfiijv

this association of Zeus and Hermes is rightly held to illustrate Acts 14. 12. Moreover,
in 1926, at Kavak near Lystra, W. H. Buckler and W. M. Calder found an altar dedicated
'to the Epekoos and to...and to Hermes' (Class. Rez>. 1926 xl. 114) and saw a bronze
statuette of Hermes with a caduceus resting on his left shoulder and an eagle beside his
right foot (The Manchester Guardian for Jan. 19, 1926, S. Reinach in the Rev. Arch.
1926 ii. 281)—further proof of the same association.
