Then Aop.iTia.vov was erased, and Oveairao-iavou inserted (or possibly more
was erased and Qeov Oveo-iracnavov inserted).

There is not sufficient evidence to decide between the two theories.
Each has difficulties; but each is possible. The defect in our theory is
that it supposes a rare custom to have operated, and has recourse to
a kind of cure that has not yet been received into the epigraphic pharma-
copoeia. But that custom has operated in three indubitable cases; and
this fourth hypothetical case is in the same province of Asia with the
other three. Outside of Asia no example is known.

27. P. 180 ad fin. M. Waddington is doubtless right in thinking
that the ' Tralleis beyond Tauros' mentioned in an inscription of Iasos
(no. 287) is not this Tralla, still less Tralleis on the Maeander, but some
unknown city on the south side of Tauros. It is difficult to think that
the people of Iasos could have imagined that Tauros lay between them
and Tralla; and the metoikos who is mentioned as a native of Tralleis
probably was the authority for the term used. There is perhaps a bare
possibility that Messogis or some nearer range was thought of as
a branch of Tauros (as Pliny V 118 says, desinit Tmolus in Cadmo, ille
in Tauro); but the phrase ' Tralleis beyond Tauros' describes a well-
recognized situation beyond a range familiarly and regularly called
Tauros.

28. P. 84. The earliest reference to Hierapolis is in an inscription
of Iasos of the second century B.C., Wadd. 285 (Aiowcrio? NiKcbopos
'le\pair]o\CTip). Hierapolis, then, grew as a city after 190 under the
Pergamenian rule (p. 173). It is defined as irpbs Miavbpov iroTaphv
Kaibel 148.

29. P. 126 § 4. A Dionysopolitan embassy to Rome in B.C. 59,
headed by Hermippus, is mentioned by Cicero ad Q. F. I 2.

30. P. 147 no. 37. dpe-jiTos is assumed to mean verna by MM. Radet
and Paris BCH 1886 p. 502 ; but the 8pe-nrbs TeipdraTos to whom Theo-
philos there erects a tomb is quite likely to be an adopted foundling 1.
They quote in their favour CIGr 1608 a, 2044. The distinction between
the two senses is always difficult; and apparently the ancients themselves
made no distinction, but treated a foundling as a verna.

31. P. 139. According to Arnobius V 6, the name Attis was con-
nected with Attagus, the Phrygian word meaning 'goat/

1 Such foundlings ranked practically decided that they did not become

as slaves; sometimes they were treated legally slaves ; but his language im-

as such, and brought up for profit plies that they ordinarily were treated

(Justin Mart. Apol. I 27, 29). Trajan as slaves.
