ii. 1082 ff. Asklepios and the Snake. An echo of Asklepios' snake at Epidauros may
be heard in the legend of St Hilarion (Oct. 21), who at Epidaurum or Epidaurus (Ragusa
vecchia) in southern Ualmatia burnt a huge snake, of the sort called boa because they can
swallow an ox (S. Baring-Gould The Lives of the Saints Edinburgh 1914 xii. 516 f.).
The story is told by Hieron. v. S. Hilar, (remit. 39 (xxiii. 50 B—c Migne).

Comparable with the coin-types of Glykon is the snake that appears on bronze pieces
issued by Caracalla at Pautalia in Thrace. This monster rises erect on quadruple coils
with the tail of a fish and a radiate nimbus (Brit. Mus. Cat. Coins The Tauric Cherso-
nese, etc. p. 144 f. nos. 30—32, McClean Cat. Coins ii. 195 no. 4525 pi. 170, 2) or
wreath (ib. ii. 196 no. 4526) round his head. A specimen issued by Geta gives him a
lion's head (Brit. Mus. Cat. Coins The Tauric Chersonese, etc. p. 146 no. 46). Other
bronze coins of Pautalia struck by Caracalla show Asklepios with his serpent-staff borne
through the air by a winged and bearded snake (ib. p. 145 no. 34 fig.). And the same
type occurs, under Severus Alexander, at Nikaia in Bithynia (Waddington—Babelon—
Reinach Monn. gr. d'As. Mitt. i. 474 no. 597 (wrongly described as holding a mask in
his right hand) pi. 82, 24. Fig. 922 is from a coin of mine).
ii. 1087. One more effort to find a satisfactory etymology for Asklepids is that of
D. Detscev, who in the Bulletin de VInstitut Archiologique Bulgare 1925 iii. 131—164
derives the name from a Thracian stem *dai- 'snake' and -K\am6s, KaXairiii cognate
with the Thracian place-name KXrjTn-ddva (connected with *glapi and *apio 'to bend').
