_Babylonisch-assyrische Geschichte_, p. 360. Sandon and Sandas occur
repeatedly as names of Cilician men. They are probably identical
with, or modified forms of, the divine name. See Strabo, xiv. 5. 14,
p. 674; Plutarch, _Poplicola_, 17; _Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum_,
ed. August Boeckh, etc. (Berlin, 1828-1877) vol. iii. p. 200, No.
4401; Ch. Michel, _Recueil d’Inscriptions Grecques_ (Brussels,

Philosoph.-histor. Classe_, xliv. (Vienna, 1896) No. vi. pp. 46, 131
_sq._, 140 (Inscriptions 115, 218, 232).

Teucrids of Salamis in Cyprus. Burnt sacrifices of human victims at
Salamis and traces of a similar custom elsewhere. Burnt sacrifice of
doves to Adonis.
435 Strabo, xiv. 5. 10, p. 672. The name of the high-priest Ajax, son of
Teucer, occurs on coins of Olba, dating from about the beginning of
our era (B. V. Head, _Historia Numorum_, Oxford, 1887, p. 609); and
the name of Teucer is also known from inscriptions. See below, pp.
145, 151, 159.

or Tarkuwassimi occurs as the name of a king of Erme (?) or Urmi (?)
in a bilingual Hittite and cuneiform inscription engraved on a
silver seal. See W. Wright, _The Empire of the Hittites_2 (London,
1886), pp. 163 _sqq._; L. Messerschmidt, _Corpus Inscriptionum
Hettiticarum_, pp. 42 _sq._, pl. xlii. 9; _id._, _The Hittites_, pp.
29 _sq._; P. Jensen, _Hittiter und Armenier_ (Strasburg, 1898), pp.
22, 50 _sq._ In this inscription Prof. Jensen suggests Tarbibi- as
an alternative reading for Tarku-. Compare P. Kretschmer,
_Einleitung in die Geschichte der griechischen Sprache_ (Göttingen,
1896), pp. 362-364.
