 sa charge ; I'autre pour un homme, qui par sa vertu et par ses 

 bienfaits a ete mis au rang des Dieux ou demi-Dieux apres sa mort ;

The statue of Clenippa, a priestess, daughter of Archicles and Alci- 

 dama, is dedicated to Diana Opitais.* Similar forms of consecration 

 are met with in Greek inscriptions ; in Rein. xi. CI. v. the statue of 

 Minyra, a priestess, is dedicated by her brother to the celestial 

 Venus. 



APTAMTTI is seen in Chandler, Part. ii. Ins. cxlv. ; and in another 

 found in Muratori, and corrected by Ruhnkenius, in Greg, de D., we 

 read ATPEMITI, " To Diana." 



* Chandler translates the words, " Quae sacerdos fiiit Dianae Opitaidis." QsoxoXo; is 

 explained in Hesychius, by Ispeiu.
