'Aplaravdpos. He cp. a from Akraiphia, now at Thebes (inv. no. 957), inscribed
iapbi/ J Atos I KepaiQ and perhaps another from the same town inscribed Kepcuui (P. Per-
drizet in the Bull. Corr. Hell. 1898 xxii. 253 no. 7 had transcribed it as Kepaici).

ii. 875 n. 1 (1). E. Sittig should have said Erythrai, not Smyrna (L. Robert in the
Bull. Corr. Hell. 1933 lvii. 472 n. 5).

ii. 876 n. 1 Zeus Hypsistos. Further evidence includes the following items: (5 a) Sparta.
A. M. Woodward in the Ann. Brit. Sell. All:. 1923—1924; 1924—1925 xxvi. 222—224

('L'existence d'une colonie juive a Thessalonique dans l'antiquite [Acts 17. 1] fait
supposer que le 6e6s "T^httos est ici, comme en d'autres cas, le Jahve des Hebreux').
This grafting of Jewish henotheism on to a Greek stem is comparable with St Paul's
treatment of the dedication 'AyvwcTtp Gey (Acts 17. 23). C. F. Edson in the Harvard
Theological Review 1936 xxix. 62 n. 53 reports that Ch. I. Makatonas has found more
Zeus Hypsistos inscriptions at Kozani in Makedonia.

(23) Phrygia. Sir W. M. Ramsay Asianic Elements in Greek Civilisation London
1927 pp. 182—189 devotes a chapter to 'The Waggon (Benna)' and again concludes
(p. 188): 'The god on the car, Benneus or Zeus Bennios, was the peasant-god, the
trainer of men in the art of agriculture. He lives in legend as Gordius, whose ox-drawn
car was preserved as a holy relic at the Phrygian Gordion' [Swoboda in Pauly—Wissowa
Rcal-Enc. vii. 1590 f. A. Korte Gordion (jahrb. d. kais. deutsch. arch. hist. Ergiinzungs-
heft v) Berlin 1904 p. 16 already claims that the famous waggon was first meant for Zeus
[cp. supra i. 338 n. 2] and later transferred to the ' Bauernkonig' Gordios].
