holders.

The use of κράζω for ίερόω is also to be found in no. 6554, ίερασάμενος dwv,
but cannot be paralied elsewhere; it is probably merely an error. Μορρος is probably
the Arabic name Murr.
654. Block. Built into the wall of the large niche in the south side of the
Tychaion. The stone is on the left side of the niche. The face is concave and the
block is evidently in situ. Height 50 cm.; length 80 cm. The rows of letters are
separated by incised lines. Height of letters 4—6 cm. Copied by Butler.

with gold for his native-city the (statue of) Tyche, together with the niche.

As the stone is evidently in situ, the inscription clearly refers to the statue of the
goddess, which stood in this niche opposite the main door of the temple, and which
must have been the cult-image.
The name in 1. 2 has been the subject of much discussion, due partly to the fact that
it appears differently in different copies of the inscription. Franz, following Berggren’s
copy, read ΈπτακινεΘίανό^ and suggested that it was the name of some locality, perhaps
the land of the Kivi^iot in Africa, which may have consisted of seven towns. Waddington
explained it as “l’ethnique d’un village voisin d’Aera, ou plutot le nom d’une tribu”.
The most recent explanation is that offered by Perdrizet in R. A. xxxv (1899), p. 52.
M. Perdrizet points out that in the copies of Seetzen and Richter the character after
