A sketch of this stone is published in Black and White, Feb. 13, 1897,
p. 207.
Of the inscription copied by Munro at Aksakal (J.H.S. xvii. 274 (19)),
I made out, above the couplet published, LHLAAHOIX XAIPE. The relief
is of the horseman-type common in Thrace, with which the serpent and tree
is here, as frequently, joined ; it has been defaced intentionally.

[T?7r.

An uninscribed stele with relief of Apollo Citharoedus-the figure is

0-53 high and headless--is built into a house on the hill of H. Georgios, and
deserves mention on account of its divergence from the' Sauroctonos' type
represented on coins as the cultus image of Apollonia.
The inscription of Aboulliond published J.H.S. xxiv. 26. 17 should read
KAITOYXT for AIAnOYXT.

12. Kermasti, house-wall of Soteris: broken banquet stele, letters.

We were told at Kermasti of a male statue found at Kavak Keui, and
sent to the Imperial Museum, with the inscription
'Aprept&o0 ('Apre•Lo-tov?)
ypafJaTCrevb 7TC0 4p7Wp: it is evidently from Miletopolis (Melde), where
unofficial excavation is bringing to light a great deal of late Roman
architectural detail and sculpture: coins of Miletopolis are
extremely
common in Kermasti, whence also comes a definitely Miletopolitan
inscription
(B. C.H. xxv. 327. (6)).
A copy of an inscription

Similar stelae from the district are enumerated in J.H.S. xxii. 87.

Both extremities of 1. 7, and the beginning of 1. 9, are doubtful.

 INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE CYZICENE DISTRICT, 1904. 61
This inscription, found close down by the bed of the river, is paralleled
by C.I.G. 3700 (seen by Pococke at Panderma), and identifies the river
of Anna Comnena xiv. 5 definitely with the Kara-dere; similar
"Eprrr/Xov
dedications to an unnamed river are to be found in J.H.S. xix. 76, (31), (32),
and B.C.H. xxv. 328, (7)-(15), inclusive: a neighbouring cult of Aesepus is
mentioned by Aristides (i. 570, Dind.). "EpL/tXovoccurs as a man's name in
J.H.S. xxiv. 33, (49), and EMBIAA, from 'Ep,8tXaL, is perhaps the solution
of Fabricius' EM-PIXA from the neighbouring village of Ilidja (Sitzb. Berl.
Akad. 1894, 919).

The designation of the monument as vc"ror', a betrays its Cyzicene
origin: Cyriac (B.C.H. xiv. 540) notices that stones were brought from
Cyzicus to Brusa for building purposes. Carelessness of lapidary or copyist is
to blame for the confusion in 1. 1. The inscr. is published in a mangled form
by Lucas (1719, vol. i. p. 300, No. 13).
F. W. HASLUCK.

[The following inscription (from Add. MS. 22912, p. 25), though not
from the district of Cyzicus, is accounted of sufficient interest for insertion
here as locating a small Byzantine site.]
Tuzla: church of the two Theodores.

64 INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE CYZICENE DISTRICT, 1904.
The 6'prr6ptov KaXh 'Ayrp0 is mentioned in Niceph. Patr. 61, Theophan.
609, Actt. SS. June 28, p. 349: cf. Ramsay, H.G. pp. 184-5.
The spelling and style are characteristically illiterate throughout: the
double appeal to earthly and heavenly powers against possible desecrators of
the tomb is couched in rather unusual terms: cf J.H.S. xxiii. 84 (34).
For the fine in pounds of silver we may compare B.C.H. xii. 199, 11
(Ghemlek) and note; pounds of gold are mentioned in similar inscriptions of
Philippopolis (Heuzey 49) and Cyzicus (Syll. Const. vi. 173, 10): cf. also
C.I.G. 3640 (Constantinople).
F. W. H.

NOTE.-While the above was in the press, several of the inscriptions

mentioned have been edited by Dr. Wiegand in his valuable paper on Mysia
(Ath. Mitth. 1904, 254 ff.).
