46^ GREEK INSCRIPTIONS, 



In the inscriptions found at this place, and communicated by Mr. 

 Hawkins, we read AT PTXIN and ATTTIXIN H nOAlI : in those given by 

 Van Dale the name is written incorrectly AITTinN. (752. Diss.) The 

 inscriptions of Mr. Hawkins establish the reading in Strabo proposed 

 by the last German editors, Avttuv, instead of Avktov. The city, ac- 

 cording to Stephanus, was so called from its lofty situation ; XvTTOi ol 

 uipijAoi TOTTcu Hesych. Mr. H. remarks, that the situation is remark- 

 ably elevated. 



The officer ■7r^o:roy.o(riA.o; designates the chief of those magistrates, 

 who were called K.o(j-fxoi, and who are frequently mentioned in in- 

 scriptions. See Rein. CI. vii. n. 22, and Chishull. Anti. Asi. 123.

" Gains .Julius Celer, built at his own expence for the people of 

 Apollonia the recess or passage ; and Caius .Julius Hermas, who is 

 called also Mercupus, paved at his own cost the broad court leading 

 from the Zygostasium as far as the recess." This is the only instance 

 of the word TnOX- being applied to any building or part of a city. 

 It is always used in reference to the human body.
