(4) At Praisos in eastern Crete, where there was a temple of Zeus At/cratos {supra ), the god seems to have borne the second appellative A/cpatos. He appears on silver. Fig. 806. coins of the town {supra i. 660 n. 3) enthroned with sceptre and eagle and accompaniedby the title AKPAI02 (first correctly deciphered by C. T. Seltman) : fig. 806 is from a 872 Appendix B specimen in my collection. Since the coins in question go back to a date c. 400 , thisis the earliest known example of AKPAIOS as a numismatic legend. (5) At Halikarnassos Aphrodite, who shared a temple with Hermes on high groundbeside the spring Salmakis (Vitr. 2. 8. 11), probably bore the title A/cpaia, since theHalicarnassians are known to have built a temple of Aphrodite A/cpata beneath theakropolis of their mother-city Troizen (Paus. 2. 32. 6). Zeus too was worshipped at Hali-karnassos under the same title (Lebas—Waddington Asie Mineure no. 501 Aioi/i^crtos | AttAKpaiwL evxviv})- T.
