A Scarab from Cyprus

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

Mr. Hogarth in his Devia Cypria, page 9, describes a scarab found near Chrysochou, as follows :—

‘It is beautifully engraved with a group of Heracles, armed with bow, quiver and skin, wrestling with a lion, while behind him stands a draped female figure, without any distinguishing attributes. Over the group are cut the following characters:

i.e., genitive of the name , which occurs in the twenty-first line of the bronze tablet of Dali (Sammlung der gricch. dialekt-Inschr. i. p. 28). I was unable to take an impression of the scarab, or to examine it satisfactorily; but I should judge the lettering to be of the fourth century B.C.’
