App. INSCRIPTIONS. 757
up the rather steep slope out of the plain, a place near the brow where
the low rocks] form a sort of gate through which the road passes. Here
he should turn left at right angles to the line of the road, and, when he
comes near the edge of the ravine, he will find the Termini near him.
This description will be clearer to him on the spot, though at a distance
it seems vague.
The two local names are doubtful. The second ends almost certainly
-orcenos or -orgenos : I tried to make the word Euphorienos ; but that was
not on the stone. There was however nothing on the stone inconsistent
with the reading E[upk]orge7ios, if such a variant be possible. The first
name also escaped me, when copying the inscr. I did not then think of
Sibidonda or Sibindos ; but shortly afterwards the suitability of the copy
to that name occurred to me. The first letter I had taken as C; but C
(with tail below the line) seems a probable form.
The name of Irenaeus, in all probability, belongs to a freedman and
procurator of Trajan, known from two inscriptions on two blocks of
Synnada marble, found in Rome, and published by P. Bruzza Bullett. cl.
Inst. 1870 p. 150 no. 258 f (and given below in the chapter on Synnada).
In a.d. 137 he was evidently procurator of Phrygia (see no. 641); and
the two Roman inscr. were probably cut in Synnada on blocks destined
for Rome (ratio?iis urbicae). During his office he apparently regulated
the frontiers around Synnada, where his centre of administration was.
In the position of the inscr., it is clear that Sibidonda lay towards N.,
and the E • • • orceni S. That makes it practically certain that the site
of Sibidonda was either at Baljik-Hissar or at Bedesh, on the S. edge of
the Synnada valley.

Pankration at the first Themis. In a Themis (or aycov deixaracos) the
prizes given to victors were not mere garlands (ayQves aT^avlrat), but
objects of value, sums of money, &c. (see LW 1209, BCH 1879 p. 341):
