i. 365 f. the grove of Amnion. M. Schede in the Ath. Mitth. 1912 xxxvii. 212—215
fig. 10 publishes a votive relief of island marble (height riy"'), found in 1910 at Tigani
in Samos. This represents, in the style of s. i 15.c. (?), a half-length herm of Zeus Ammon
with a long sceptre in his raised right hand, a palm-tree at his left side, a shield (?) slung
above his head, and an altar before him, on which stands a ram, presumably the gift of
the woman suppliant. She holds a sprig of olive in her left hand and raises her right in
prayer to the god. My fig. 863 is after A. de Ridder in the Rev. Et. Gr. 1913 xxvi.

i. 369 K. A. Neugebauer in Gnomon 1930 vi. 268 regards the Berlin bronze statuette
of 'Poseidon from Dodona' (W. Lamb Greek and Roman Bronzes London 1929 p. 172
pi. 63, c) as probably a Zeus Ndios of late Hellenistic, eclectic, style.

i. 370 n. 4. The inscription may perhaps be read as AIVIA for Livia, who by a play
on Aifiva is linked with Ammon.

i. 376. M. Bieber Die Denkmaler sum Theaterwesen im Altertum Berlin—Leipzig
1920 p. 141 pi. 78 ( = my fig. 864) publishes a phlj'ax-vase at Bari, which shows a visit to
the oracle of Zeus Amnion. On a wooden platform supported by Ionic pillars sits Zeus,
a dismal white-haired figure, characterized as Ammon by his ape-like features and the
palm-tree at his side. He grips his eagle by the throttle, and turns to face his visitor—an
old man with pointed pilos and knotted staff, who is mounting the steps to the platform.
Meantime the traveller's servant, with a stick in one hand, a basket and a pail in the
other, and a bundle on his back, looks longingly at the provender.

i- 379 n. 7. To the bibliography of Siwah add the well-illustrated monograph by
C. D. Belgrave Siwa: the Oasis of Jupiter Ammon London 1923 pp. 1—310 and the
remarks of S. R[einach] in the Rev, Arch. 1928 ii. 334 f. on the Libyan rock-cut
inscriptions and the Greek inscription found there by M. de Prorok.

i. 390. E. D. J. Dutilh in the Jown. Intern, d'Arch. Num. 1898 i. 437—440

i. 395 n. 2. A. Ii. Krappe Mythologie universelle Paris 1930 p. 45, accepting the
etymology of Indra propounded by H. Giintert Der arische Weltkbnig und Heiland
Halle (Saale) 1923 p. 13 (., views the name as 'derive d'une forme "indro, apparentee au
slave jedro, "testicule," tcheque jadro, "moelle," au pluriel "testicules," et dont la base
commune est *oid= tumescere. Comparer aussi oldla et le v. nor. eista, "testicule."
Indra est done l'homme fort, viril, comme en Scandinavie Thorr, qui etait souvent
appele Thorrkarl.' The sequel in Krappe is also ad rem. But other derivations of Indra
are noted by Walde—Pokorny Vergl. Wbrlerb. d. indogerm. Spr. ii. 332, and a timely
warning is sounded by Schracler Reallex,2 ii. 247b.
