310 IX. PHRYGIAN CITIES ON PISIDIAN FRONTIER.
(see no. 130) ; and we may presume that he was then forty to fifty years
of age. He gave the benefaction., as we suppose, in a. d. 198 : some time
later he gave a second in the name of his two young sons :: and in 313
he rose to be chief of the college of priests.
125. Given in full p. 388. Citizens of Olbasa participated in the
worship at the Cyllanian Jiieron by old-standing right.
126. (R. 1886 in part: St. 43). In 1. 13 f read Zohtijxos 'AiroWuvlov
Adp[w}vos irpoayoov : he is brother of 47 C 8. The date t/3' is certain, and
must be on the Sullan era., a. d. 217-8. See p. 389.
137. (R. 1886 in part: St. nos. 44 and 46, which are really two parts
of the same stone). I have only revised the superscription of 136, 127 ;
and the lists as a whole depend on Sterrett, Duchesne, and Collignon.
See p. 290. The following corrections may also be suggested :
22 f, read 'lcnrdraXos Mrjvidos.
24 f, perhaps read Mrjvis Ylocrihiaviov vKv8eos, "AKeirros Mr/vibos, '0<ral[s]
T\avKov.
This list seems to be an enumeration of the religious society of mi/stai
of Zeus Savazos during a. d. 207-8. It is not, like several of the
others, a list that spreads over a period of years; but it was continued on
a second side (Sterrett 44 B), about one generation later. I repeat that
side, which is not well given by Sterrett: Avp-qXkios Ki8po|ju.]as rpls lepevs
Albs Sava^tou kcu 17 yvvr] avrov 'Aprefxels' AvprjWios Avpr;\\ios "Arra\os
'Ocraet lepevs '[Epjixov' 'Ocraeis 'ArraAou. The first is evidently son of Kihpa-
IJ.ds 8 is mentioned as priest in the superscription of side A (quoted in § 4) ;
and from this we may infer that the expression lepaadp,evos or leparevuiv
when used absolutely in these inscriptions denotes priesthood of Savazios.
The second also is son of the Osais priest of Hermes mentioned on side A.
These two examples of family priesthood are interesting. It is also
noteworthy that Kidramas (Kidramoas), son of Kidramas, priest in 46,
13, occurs in the list of priests St. 38 B 30, which dates that side of the
important priest-list. His wife, being mentioned in the superscription,
must have been chief priestess ; and this custom is vouched for also by
nos. 101, 102, and was practically universal in Asia Minor.
The date pitf&[, which I disclosed by excavation, is very clear. There
can be no doubt it is by the Cibyratic era, 307-8 b. c.
138. (R. 1884: St. $$ from our joint copy). The date is given by
the same negotiator as no. 127, so that the two belong to the same period.
