376 X. EUMEN EI A.

Zeus-Oromasdes and Apollo-Mithras-Helios-Hermes and Arta.gn.es-
Herakles-Ares were the three gods whose statues accompanied those of
the king himself and of Kommagene on the monument at the top of
Nemrud-Dagh.

The date of this inscription would be fixed not earlier than Caracalla,
if the restoration [Aur.] Monimos could be trusted. But it is rather.short,
while [Attrelius] would be too long. There is no clear evidence of date;
the lettering seems good (to judge from the type used by M. Paris), and
I was disposed on that account (see no. 88) to consider the reading Avp.
wrong. But I now believe that the date is under Caracalla (see below);
and the name should be restored M. Avp.

It is doubtful whether the eyA.oyi<rn/s is to be identified with the Aoyt-
<tti']s. The latter was originally a Roman imperial official appointed by the
emperor himself to regulate the finances of a city, and selected almost
invariably from some other city. But the position of the curator was
afterwards changed : beginning, perhaps, about a. d. 200, he was a regular
officer of the city, selected from the citizens who had already held high
municipal office : see p. 370. In this inscription, the eglogista is a citizen
of Eumeneia; and therefore the date is not earlier than the third century
(if we assume his identity with the logista). The title eglogista is rare:
it occurs at Ilium (CIG 3599 1), and in Egypt 4956, 4957. See § 6.

A \pea>$v\a.Kiov (see p. 370) existed at Aizanoi LW 845, Apameia
no. 333, Tiberiopolis? Phr. LW1011, Aphrodisias LW 1630 &c, CIG 2826
Sec, Chios Ps, Arid. Oec. II 12, Cos Paton-Hicks p. 249, Philadelpheia
CIG 3429, Akmonia no. 549, Smyrna CIG 3282.

This office was also called ypap.\xa,T<&ov at Nysa CIG 2943, ypap.\xaro-
(pv\d.Kiov at Pessinus CIG 4094, Tlos CIG 4247, (pvXaKi] t&v ypap.p.aTwv
at Mylasa CIG 2693, while ap\flov is very widely used. The names
pr)Tpo<pv\6.Kiov (Suidas), avyyparpofpvkaKiov (Memphis in Egypt), flea/xo-
(pvkaKtov (Boeotia) have not been found in Asia Minor. Deeds of all
kinds were sometimes executed in duplicate (air\a. bvu> CIG 35°9)> one of
which was deposited in the Record Office; but commonly a copy was
made for the Office (avriypacpov or kKa^payia-p-a, if an impression of the
seals was taken). See § 5 and M. Dareste quoted there.

The Eirenarch and Paraphylax are often mentioned together, and were
evidently connected with each other (p. 68). The Paraphylax was prob-
ably head of a body of policemen (-napacpv^aKlrai nos. 115, 116); and the
Eirenarch had a general control of peace and order extending probably
further than the limits of a single city.
