424 See above, p. 132. However, Prof. Ed. Meyer may be right in thinking
that the priest-like figure in the procession is not really that of
the priest but that of the god or goddess whom he personated. See
above, p. 133 note.
425 See above, pp. 36 _sqq._
426 H. Winckler, “Vorläufige Nachrichten über die Ausgrabungen in
Boghaz-köi im Sommer 1907,” _Mitteilungen der Deutschen
Orient-Gesellschaft_, No. 35, December, 1907, pp. 27 _sq._, 29; J.
Garstang, _The Land of the Hittites_, pp. 352 _sq._; “Hittite
Archives from Boghaz-Keui,” translated from the German transcripts
of Dr. Winckler by Meta E. Williams, _Annals of Archaeology and
Anthropology_, iv. (Liverpool and London, 1912) p. 98. We have seen
(above, p. 136) that in the seals of the Hittite treaty with Egypt
the Queen appears along with the King. If Dr. H. Winckler is right
in thinking (_op. cit._ p. 29) that one of the Hittite queens was at
the same time sister to her husband the King, we should have in this
relationship a further proof that mother-kin regulated the descent
of the kingship among the Hittites as well as among the ancient
Egyptians. See above, p. 44, and below, vol. ii. pp. 213 _sqq._
427 Compare Ed. Meyer, _Geschichte des Altertums_,2 i. 2. pp. 629-633.
M105 Sandan at Tarsus appears to be a son of Baal, as Hercules was a son
of Zeus.
428 The figure exhibits a few minor variations on the coins of Tarsus.
See the works cited above, p. 127.

M106 Priests of Sandan-Hercules at Tarsus. Kings of Cilicia related to
Sandan.
432 Athenaeus, v. 54, p. 215 B, C. The high-priest of the Syrian goddess
at Hierapolis held office for a year, and wore a purple robe and a
golden tiara (Lucian, _De dea Syria_, 42). We may conjecture that
the priesthood of Hercules at Tarsus was in later times at least an
annual office.
433 E. Meyer, _Geschichte des Alterthums_, i. (Stuttgart, 1884) § 389,
p. 475; H. Winckler, in E. Schrader’s _Keilinschriften und das Alte
Testament_,3 p. 88. Kuinda was the name of a Cilician fortress a
little way inland from Anchiale (Strabo, xiv. 5. 10, p. 672).
