1. Page 11 note 3. In 190 B.C. the Lycos valley passed from Seleucid
under Pergamenian rule; and in 133 it was bequeathed by Attalus III
to Rome. The country traversed by the road Laodiceia-Apameia-Takina
belonged to Rome in 130 (no. 140). In 129 Aquillius sold Phrygia
Magna to Mitkridates V; and the Colossian glen with Apameia and
the rest of Phrygia was ruled by him till his death in 120, when the
country was declared free by the Romans. The bounds of the province
are hard to fix; but probably the Carian Laodiceia, the Lydian Hiera-
polis, and the Kazanes valley, were Roman from 133 to $6 b. c. In 84
Sulla incorporated most of Phrygia in the province Asia, and arranged
the dioeceseis or conventus, assigning Laodiceia, Hierapolis, and Colossai
to the Cibyratic. In 80 the Apamean and Synnadic conventus were
attached to Cilicia Provincia (as was also the conventus of Philomelion
and the Roman portion of Lycaonia and Isauria), while in 62-61
(perhaps 62-56) they formed part of Asia Provincia; in 56-51 the
Apamean, Synnadic, and Cibyratic (Laodicean) conventus were attached
to Cilicia; Julius Caesar rejoined them to Asia; and this last arrange-
ment was maintained till about 295 a. d. There is no evidence for the
fate of the Philomelian conventus except that it must have been attached
to Cilicia at all times when the Synnadic was so, and that it was con-
nected with Asia probably from the time of Julius Caesar onwards. On
the reason why part of Phrygia was connected with Cilicia, see p. 11.

2. P. 19 n. 1. A similar derivation has occurred to Dr. Tomaschek
p. ioij but he takes the first part differently Sehirabad, i.e. Sheher-
Abad, 'place of the city/ which seems to me less probable. I fully
grant that Dr. Tomaschek knows much more about the literary language
of Turkey than I do; but in this case the important point is the cha-
racter of the Anatolian peasants' pronunciation and the way in which
a word pronounced by them would be reproduced by the Asian Greeks.

3. P. ^ n. 2. Another example of a name from the east used in
Lydia is Tiamou, a surname of Men. Prof. J. H. Wright of Harvard
points out to me that Tiammu is given by the late George Smith as
a Babylonian god; and if this name is confirmed by recent scholars,
