he says : 'it can hardly be doubted that terkos is the " Hittite" tarku meaning "god " or
a particular god, and it is very tempting to read the name of the god in the following
letters. Whether we read Asie kmor... or Asi ekmor..., we appear to be dealing with the
dative of the divine name Asis, which is attested elsewhere, and may be not unconnected
with the name which the Greeks gave to the lands east of the Aegean.... Ramsay is
probably right in taking ACGIC [supra i. 706 fig. 521] as a non-Phrygian name; if our
interpretation of the Euyuk inscription is correct, Asis is the name of a god who belonged
to the religion which the Phrygians found in the country when they entered it, and who
was worshipped at the old Hittite centre of Euyuk at the date to which this inscription
belongs.... The name 'AaioKuiix-q expresses the proprietorship of the god Asis in a village
on his estate, just as the village-name 'Arvoxupiov in Phrygia indicates that the village
belongs to Atys. In the Lydian genealogies Asies figures as the nephew or as the
brother of Atys [E. Meyer in Pauly—Wissowa Real-Enc. ii. 1579 f., 2262]. The name
Atios occurs on an Old-Phrygian inscription (if Phrygian it be) found by Garstang at
Tyana fj. Friedrich op. cit. p. 127 no. 19 a, 3 aticwi, 5 atios].... The name is written
with the symbol t, which suggests that the names Attis and Asis were originally
identical.' Not impossibly, then (cp. supra ii. 293), Zeus AC6IC meant ab origine
'Father' Zeus, while ''kaia. was the 'Fatherland.'

of the god wrought in Pentelic marble
by Eukleides of Athens (Paus. 7. 26. 4).
