THE SHEPHERD KINGS OP EGYPT. 247 



Caria. — Heraclea and Bargylia are equally reminiscences of 

 Acliarchel, -with and without tlie Coptic article. Onidus represents 

 Kenaz, and Myndus Meonothai or perhaps Manahath. Miletus, 

 anciently called Anactoria, is the Palestinian Malatha revived, 

 Anactoria preserving the memory of the Anakim, which long sur- 

 vived in such Milesian names as Anaximander and Anaximenes. 



Bithynia is probably a geographical record of Othniel, and the 

 Ascanian lake within its teiTitory of his father Kenaz; the pro- 

 montory Sirias and the town Carusa in Paphlagonia representing 

 Seraiah and the Charashim of his son Joab. Sesamus, Aegialus and 

 the river Halys of the latter province preserve the names of Achuzam 

 and his son Jehaleleel, and Sinope commemorates Anub. In the 

 latter place the oracle of Sthenis seems to point to some connection 

 of Othniel and the son of Coz. 



Phrygla is famous for the myth of Cybele.-^ Sangariiis represents 

 Ashchur, as we have already seen. Nana, his daughter, is the Baby- 

 lonian Ishtar, and Nanaia daughter of Ormuzd. Midas the son of 

 Gordius, is Midian the son of Abraham by Keturah, and Gordius is 

 Zereth, who may have been the father of tlie Hittite wife of the 

 great patriarch. Desanaus or Diodas, the Phrygian Hercules, is 

 Achuzam or Athothes, the eldest son of Ashchur. Isauria and 

 Lystra may present forms of Ashchur and Achashtari. 



Pamphyllia was anciently called Tekiah, in which Tekoa is at 

 once recognizable. Oestrus is a form of Achashtari. The family 

 of Hepher is represented in this province by Oibyra and another 

 Ascanian lake. At Phaselis, the god Oaprus or Oabrus was 

 worshipped, and in him we have no difficulty in finding the Egyptian 

 Kheper. 



Pontus preserves many names in the family of Achuzam, and 

 Cilicia connects intimately with the history of his son Jehaleleel, 

 Zereth, however, appearing in Tarsus and other places. Space vdll 

 not permit particularization. T may merely state that the Sandacus 

 of Oilicia is a form of Sydyk, or the Herculean Sesostris, and the 



23 In the myth of Cybele, who connects with Jasion, as lo with Jasus of Argos, we find, I 

 think, the story of the daughter of Coz. As Cybebe, she at once recalls Kubeibeh of Palestine, 

 named after Zobebah. Atys is, I think— although I am by no means sure of this— her husband 

 Jediael, and Papas or Sabus is her son Jabez. In Marsyas, her companion, we find Mareshah, 

 the father of Hebron, who is the Egyptian Moeris that acted as regent for the young Apophis. 

 lo is Cybele ; and Epaphus, who is her sou by Theoclymeus, and the same as Apis or Pelops, son 

 of Tantalus, is Jabez. I do not state this, however, with any degree of confidence.
