of the Gods" (_Bulletin of the University of Wisconsin_, No. 43), Madison, 1901.--Hepding, _Attis, seine Mythen und sein Kult_, Giessen, 1903.--Dill, _Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius_, London, 1905, pp. 547 ff.--Gruppe, _Griech. Mythologie_, 1906, pp. 1521 ff. Eisele, "Die phrygischen Kulte," _Neue Jahrb. fuer das klass. Altertum_, XXIII, 1909, pp. 620 ff. For a number of years Henri Graillot has been collecting the monuments of the religion of Cybele with a view to publishing them in their entirety.--Numerous remarks on the Phrygian religion will be found in the works and articles of Ramsay, especially in _Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia_, 1895, and _Studies in the Eastern Roman Provinces_, 1906. 1. Arrien, fr. 30 (_FGH_, III, p. 592). Cf. our _Studio Pontica_, 1905, pp. 172 ff., and Statius, Achill., II, 345: "Phrygas lucos ... vetitasque solo, procumbere pinus"; Virg., _Aen., IX_, 85. 2. Lion; cf. S. Reinach, _Mythes, cultes_, I, p. 293. The lion, represented in Asia Minor at a very remote period as devouring a bull or other animals, might possibly represent the sacred animal of Lydia or Phrygia vanquishing the protecting _totem_ of the tribes of Cappadocia or the neighboring countries (I am using the term _totem_ in its broadest meaning). This at least is the interpretation given to similar groups in Egypt. Cf. Foucart, _La methode comparat. et l'histoire des religions_, 1909, p. 49, p. 70. 3. [Greek: Potnia theron]. On this title, cf. Radet, _Revue des etudes anciennes_, X, 1908, pp. 110 ff. The most ancient type of the goddess, a winged figure leading lions, is known from monuments dating back to the period of the Mermnadi (687-546 B. C.). 4. Cf. Ramsay, _Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia_, I, p. 7, p. 94. 5. Foucart, _Le culte de Dionysos en Attique_ (Extract from the _Mem. Acad. Inscr._, XXXVII), 1904, pp. 22 ff.--The Thracians also seem to have spread, in Asia Minor, the cult of the "riding god" which existed until the beginning of the Roman period; cf. Remy, _Le Musee belge_, XI, 1907, pp. 136 ff. 6. Catullus, LXIII. {225} 7. The development of these mysteries has been well expounded by Hepding, pp. 177 ff. (see Gruppe, _Gr. Myth._, p. 1544).--Ramsay has recently commented upon inscriptions of Phrygian mystics, united by the knowledge of certain secret signs ([Greek: tekmor]); cf. _Studies in the Eastern Roman Provinces_, 1906, pp. 346 ff. 8. Dig., XLVIII, 8, 4, 2: "Nemo liberum s
