of the death of Macedonicus and his wife. The Semeiaphoroi of Apollo
occur only here. They might be taken as workers of wonders, a class of
persons corresponding to the modern dervishes, who gashed themselves
with knives and did other strange things in a state of ecstasy—a natural
accompaniment of the mysteries and the enthusiastic ceremonial of the
Phrygian religion. But I prefer to interpret them as 'bearers of the
