186 HISTORY OF GREECE. merely of Ionic and -tEolic, but also of Karian or Lydian inhab- itants, of which Pausanias speaks. 1 Gerrhseidce, or Cherra^idai, 1 Pausan. vii, 3, 3. See the Inscrip. No. 3064 in Boeckh's Corp. Ins., ivhich enumerates twenty-eight separate rcvpyoi : it is a list of arc-lions, with the name and civil designation of each : I do not observe that the name of the same rrvpyoe ever occurs twice, 'Aprefiuv, TOV Qihaiov Trip/or, fct/UxWi/f, etc : there are two irvpyoi, the names of which are effaced on the inscription. In two other inscriptions (Nos. 3065, 3066) there occur 'E^ivov cvft/iopia i as the title of a civil division without any specification of an

ri'pyof ; but it is reasonable to presume that the m}pyof and the avp-

fiopia are coincident divisions. The QiAaiov Tri'pj'of occurs also in another Insc. No. 3081. Philaeus is the Athenian hero, son of Ajax, and eponym of the deme or gens Philaidae in Attica, who existed, as we here see, in Teos also. In Inscription, No. 3082, a citizen is complimented as viov 'Atfu/zovTa, after the name of the old Minyan hero. In No. 3078, the Ionic tribe of the Fe/leovref is named as existing at Teos. Among the titles of the towers we find the following, TOV Kidvos nvp- yow, TOV Kivapahov Trvpyou, TOW 'lepvof irvpyov, TOV Au86ov Trvpyov, TOV St'vrvof Tcvp-yov : these names seem to be rather foreign than Hellenic Ki6vs, 'lepvf, Ztvrwf, AuSdof, are Asiatic, perhaps Karian or Lydian : re pecting the name Auddof, compare Steph. Byz. v, Tpe^iaaof where Aa&zf appears as a Karian name : Boeckh (p. 651) expresses his opinion that AdJ. doc is Karian or Lydian. Then Ktvd/Ja/lof seems plainly not Hellenic : it is rather Phoenician (Anni&aZ, Asdruia/, etc.), though Boeckh (in his Introduc- tory Comment to the Sarmatian Inscriptions, part xi, p. 109) tells us that /3a?.of is also Thracian or Getic, " /3aAof hand dubie Thracica aut Getica est radix finalis, quam tenes in Dacico nomine Decebalus, et in nomine populi Triballornm." The name TOV Kodov irvpyov, KotffJ^, is Ionic: JEklns and Kothus are represented as Ionic ojkists in Euboea. Another name Hapfitf, TOV S#i>e/lov irvpyov, XahKitielo? affords an instance in which the local or gentile epithet is not derived from the tower ; for Xa/./a Jctf or X.a%Ki6ev(; was the denomination of a village in the Teian territory. Ir regard to some persons, the gentile epithet is derived from the tower, rot 4>?,atoi) Trvpyov, $i?iaidris TOV TaKaiaov irvpyov, ToJ.aiaiSris TOV AaJdoi irvpyov, Aaddsiof TOV irvpyov TOV Ki&voc, Kiuv : in other cases not- T )v 'Exadiov irvp-yov, 'ZKrjprjtdijf TOV M??pd dovf irvpyov, BpvoKidqf To9 'laduiou irvp-yov, AeuriSw, etc. In the Inscrip. 3065, 3066, there is a formal vote of the 'E^'vov av^opia or 'E^ivadat (both names occur) : mention is also made of the /3(j//of r//f cvpfiopiaf ; also the annual solemnity called Lcukathca, seemingly a gentile solemnity of the Echinada;, which connects itself with the mythical family of Athamas. As an analogy to these Teian towers, we may compare the -iripyoi in the Greek settlement of Olbia in the Enxine (Boeckh, Inscr. 20581, Trvpyof Hoo-tof, 7rt)pyof 'Eiridavpov, thcyweia pcrtions of the fortifications See also Dio Chrysostom, Orat. xxxvi, pp
