understand that near Cibyra there existed a great imperial property.
Now Phylakaion, though situated on a great road in a rich country,
has left no coins. Surely the reason must be that it was the imperial
estate l. Further we observed that Hierocles's list is here dislocated
in such a way that Hylarima, Iasos, Markianopolis, and Anastasio-
polis2, have got out of place. When this error is corrected, Eriza
comes next to the Estate. Now in the Notitia cle Boor we find the
entry 6 'Eplfav kcci Tvpaicov: Eriza therefore was part of a double
bishopric, the second name being corrupted. The conjecture is natural
that Eriza and the Estate were subject to the same bishop, and that
the proper title is 6 'Epi{a>v K<xl <t>vXaKai<x>v (corrupted <Pvpaia>v,
Tvpaicov).
