ii. 723 n. o Zeus Skylios. An inscription of 120 A.D., found at Rhotasi (Rhytion) and
now in the Museum at Candia, speaks of a letter restored by a priest of Zeus Skylios
and of an imperial rescript, relating to Gortynian trespassers on his sacred domains,
which had been engraved on a stile kept in his sanctuary (Inscr. Cret. i. 303 ff. Rhytion

Philologus 1912 lxxi. 473 that Zeus SkiJXXios was a sea-god akin to Skylla the sea-monster
and Skyllies the diver \supra p. 414).

ii. 725 fig. 660 f. A. Delia Seta Italia Antica Bergamo 1922 p. 252 fig. 281 has a
photograph of this statue with the arms restored as holding a bow in the right hand,
a hawk (?) in the left.

ii. 727 Zeus and the boar. The stile of Zeus KaraiSs at Thespiai {infra on ii. 874 n. 2)
has three reliefs—a filleted bucranium, a boar's skull, and a boar's jaw (?) (P. Jamot in
the Bull. Corr. Hell. 1922 xlvi. 262 with fig. 37).

ii. 727 n. 3 Zeus in relation to oaths. An engraved gem of pink jasper (?), found in
Makedonia and now in my collection (fig. 896 : scale -j), shows Sarapis (kdlathos, wreath)
standing before Zeus (sceptre, thunderbolt) and between them the word 60MO|CA.
Fairly good Hellenistic work. Possibly the seal of some public functionary.
