BIBLIOGRAPHY 235<br />

I am not sure that the name S<strong>and</strong>as for the God of Tarsus is not also of Thracian orig<strong>in</strong>.<br />

The fantastic, clay figur<strong>in</strong>es which are regularly found <strong>in</strong> Panticapaean graves of the first<br />

<strong>and</strong> second century a. d. (see e. g. A.A., 1912, 345, fig. 29 ; 1913, 193 ff., figs. 32, 33 ;<br />

M<strong>in</strong>ns, pp. 369, 370, fig. 268) are puzzl<strong>in</strong>g. They are certa<strong>in</strong>ly not toys : their religious<br />

significance is beyond doubt. The best analogy is furnished by Ch<strong>in</strong>ese clay figures of<br />

the Han dynasty (B. Laufer, Art <strong>and</strong> Archaeology, vi (1917), p. 300), which also have<br />

movable limbs. Their apotropaeic character is <strong>in</strong>dicated by their be<strong>in</strong>g ithyphallic <strong>and</strong><br />

play<strong>in</strong>g musical <strong>in</strong>struments or clash<strong>in</strong>g their swords <strong>and</strong> shields. Aiialogous figures<br />

are common <strong>in</strong> the pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs of later Panticapaean graves, mostly of the second <strong>and</strong> third<br />

centuries A. D.<br />

5. Sarmatian system of writ<strong>in</strong>g. Skorpil, B.C^., 37, 23 ff. ; M<strong>in</strong>ns, pp. 316-318.<br />

Similar signs on the tiaras of Sassanian k<strong>in</strong>gs (co<strong>in</strong>s <strong>and</strong> engraved stones). On the<br />

Hittite ' hieroglyphs ', A. E. Cowley, The Hittites, London, 1920. Note that the same<br />

signs appear both at Panticapaeum <strong>in</strong> the second to third century A. D. <strong>and</strong> on the Kuban<br />

(cauldrons—ch. vi, no. 15 (e) ; gold bottles—ibid., no. 15 (f)) ; compare the mark on the<br />

rump of the horse of the Sarmatian horseman on the Yenissei (ch. vi, no. 2).<br />

6. Relations between Panticapaeum <strong>and</strong> the cities on the southern shore of the<br />

Black Sea. I have collected the evidence. <strong>in</strong> my articles on Roman Olbia. New evidence<br />

is furnished by two <strong>in</strong>scriptions : one, from S<strong>in</strong>ope, republished by Th. Re<strong>in</strong>ach, Rev.<br />

arch., 1916, p. 345, no. 7, is the funeral <strong>in</strong>scription of Julius Call<strong>in</strong>icus a<br />

compare Jos. P.E. iv. 72, from Chersonesus mention<strong>in</strong>g a certa<strong>in</strong> r. Katos<br />

vavKKijpo?,<br />

Evrvxiavos<br />

vavK^apos 2tvajTrei;s (even if Eutychianus assumed the predicate NavKXapos as a second<br />

cognomen it is sufficient evidence for his profession) ; the second is the <strong>in</strong>scription of<br />

Zela (Cumont, Stud. Pontica, iii (1910), 246, no. 273, compare Th. Re<strong>in</strong>ach, Rev. arch.,<br />

1920, p. 185 ff.) ; the deceased woman Chelidon is a Maeotian <strong>and</strong> her husb<strong>and</strong> bore<br />

the name of IToVro?, common <strong>in</strong> the form novTLKos, &c., <strong>in</strong> the Bosphorus.<br />

belong<strong>in</strong>g to the family of Rhescuporis II. M<strong>in</strong>ns, p. 434; Skorpil, B.C.A. 37, pp. 23 ff.<br />

The grave of 1910 was discovered <strong>in</strong> the same region as the first three : the diadem <strong>in</strong>set<br />

with garnets, Farmakovski, Archdologischer Anzeiger, 191 1, 198, <strong>and</strong> fig. 9 on p. 202.<br />
