its identity with Tiamou in Asia Minor is striking. I find however
Tiamat, the goddess, but not Tiammu, in Jensen Cosmologie der Baby-
lonier. But Tuamu, the zodiacal sign Gemini, seems to play a consider-
able part in the Cosmology of the Babylonians. Can Men-Tiamou be
' the Sun in the sign Gemini' ? It is argued in Ch. VIII § 9, no. 95,
no. 194, Ch. IX § 5, &c, that Men is more closely connected with the
Sun than with the Moon. Whatever be the exact facts as settled by
oriental scholars, it seems highly probable that Men-Tiamou is a god
of the oriental colonists in the Katakekaumene.
Another Central Asian title in eastern Lydia is the Qea Marvrivrj em-
cjjavrjs in an inscription at Philadelpheia Atli. Mitth. 1887 p. 256.
Whether the name of the goddess is derived from a village of the
Katakekaumene, or is an epithet denoting origin, we can hardly fail to
connect it with Matiane in Cappadocia [Hist. Geogr. p. 295 and Herod.

Pollio and S. Abercius on Free Will and similar topics (which is much,
curtailed, as Mr. Thurston informs me, in the published form of the
Acta). The dialogue may perhaps turn out to have been modelled on
some philosophic treatise of the Diadochie periodJ; and in that case
the reference to 'Apibalos is likely to be historical. No person of the
name is known to have been in such relations with any city named
Laodiceia2. The only known Arrhidaios who can be thought of is
Alexander's general, who got Hellespontine Phrygia as his share at the
division of the empire, and was dispossessed by Antigonus; but it is
hardly possible that he could have been living after the foundation of
Laodiceia (except on M. Radet's theory as to the earlier foundation
of Laodiceia by Antiochus I, see p. 32 n, though even on that theory
it is improbable).
