App. II. THE PHRYGO-CARIAN FRONTIER. 185
The following inscriptions from coins reveal the genealogy of a rich
and powerful family of Kidramos.
Nero nOAEMHN • C£A€YKOY (Lobbecke Num. Zft. 1877 p. 52)\
Vespasian TTAMCplAOC • C6A6YKOY (Imhoof-Blumer GM p. 208).
Hadrian AIA • TTANCplAOY • K Al • TT[OAEMIlNOC].
Hadrian Al A • TTANCplAOY.
Aurelius Verus Caesar AI • C6A£YKO • TTOAEMn.
Restoring conjecturally one intermediate step, we have the following
slemma:
Seleukos
Polemon, c. 60 Pamphilos, c. 75
(Vespasian)
(Seleukos, c. 100)
I I
Pamphilos, c. 130 P[olemon], c. 130
Seleukos, c. 150.
2. Antiocheia-on-the-Maeander was founded to command the
crossing of the Maeander and the roads from Ephesos &c. to the East and
to Aphrodisias and Tabai. Pliny says that it was formed from two older
towns Symmaithos and Kranaos 2 j but Stephanus says that Pythopolis
was its original name. It was founded on an isolated hill, where the
Morsynos valley joins the Maeander valley, by Antiochus Soter (28.1-61).
The god CnZHN (Ch. VIII § 9) and the Maeander bridge are repre-
sented occasionally on its coins, which are very numerous and varied.
The road to Aphrodisias diverged from the main line of the Eastern
Highway after crossing the Antiochian bridge over the Maeander. It
passed close beneath the walls of Antioch, probably on the eastern side.
About this point ' a lion carved in white marble, the head and hind parts
missing, the back inscribed with the word OAOC, the way, which shows
that it was designed as an index for travellers,' was observed by Picenini
and bis travelling-companions 3. Several milestones on this road are
published BCH 1890 p. 235 by M. Radet. One of them is numbered
sixth (from Antioch).
3. Tantalos is mentioned as a komopolis by Nicetas along with Karia
1 I have tacitly corrected a misprint city and not this one (see Tomaschek
in the legend as published by Lobbecke. Beitr. z. Gesch. Top. p. 58).
2 V 108 : vv. 11. Seminethos, Symine- 3 I quote from Chandler Travels in
thos. Antiocheia Parva in the lists of Asia Minor and Greece I p. 270, Oxford
Cone. Phot. 879 is probably the Isaurian 1825.
