[170.1] Vide _Cults_, iii. pp. 305-306; Sir William Ramsay, in _Amer.
Journ. Arch._, 1887, p. 348, expressed his belief in the prevalence of
the cult of an Anatolian goddess in the later period, regarded as a
virgin-mother and named Artemis-Leto; the fact is merely that the
goddess Anaitis was usually identified with Artemis, but occasionally
with Leto; but we nowhere find Artemis explicitly identified with
Leto, and the interpretation which he gives to the Messapian
inscription (Artamihi Latho[i], vide _Rhein. Mus._, 1887, p. 232,
Deeke) appears to me unconvincing.
[170.2] The fact that a part of her temple at Kyzikos was called
Παρθενών does not indicate a virgin-goddess. M. Reinach is, in my
opinion, right in explaining it as “the apartment of the maidens”
where the maiden priestesses assembled (_Bull. Corr. Hell._, 1908, p.
499).

[171.2] A different view of the whole question might be presented if I
was dealing here with the evidence gleaned from the period just before
Christianity.
