22. POPULAR ASSEMBLIES, ETC. 441

the population -was divided not by tribes, but by trades or guilds
(pp. 105 f). A guild, the head of which was called an Emporiarches,
is mentioned no. 309 : its members were called ovjipionTai, and the
term is suitable, if there was a street bearing their name.

The classing of trades to streets was not the universal rule in
Apameia. One street was called Thermaia, evidently because it led
to the Hot-Springs. Another probably was called the ' Sacred Street V
The last name may be compared Avith the ' Golden Street' of Smyrna,
which ran across the city from the hill on the west side crowned with
a temple (probably of Zeus Akraios) to the hill of Tepejik, crowned
with the temple of Meter Sipylene ' before the city V

§ 23. Magistrates and Officials, (i) Strategoi 3. According
to our interpretation of inscr. 290, the supreme board of magistrates
in Apameia consisted of five persons. The generic term, apgavres,
which is there used, does not necessarily imply that the title arcliontes
was proper to them; but it is possible that that name was sometimes
employed4, though from no. 300 we see that Strategoi was the title
used in the third century. The inscriptions throw no light on the
titles and duties of the individual members of the supreme board (see
p. 67).

(2) Grammatetjs. The Secretary to the supreme board of magis-
trates had the same importance at Apameia as elsewhere. On a coin
of Elagabalus, L. Ma(nneius) Sev(erus), Secretary for the second time,
is mentioned; and the office is mentioned in the cursus honorum
no. 302, ^^^, in a manner implying that it was honourable and
important.

(3) Argyrotamias of the city, no. 281-283 is not the same officer
as Tamias, who is much more frequently mentioned5. According to

in I p. 375 is certainly the Golden publishes a coin of Appia, struck under
Street. It is highly probable that this Philip, bearing the same magistrate's
street ran from the Ephesian to the name.
