444 A. H. Sayce, in W. Wright’s _Empire of the Hittites_,2 p. 186; W. M.
Ramsay, “Pre-Hellenic Monuments of Cappadocia,” _Recueil de Travaux
relatifs à la Philologie et à l’Archéologie Égyptiennes et
Assyriennes_, xiv. (1903) pp. 81 _sq._; C. P. Tiele, _Geschichte der
Religion im Altertum_, i. 251; W. Max Müller, _Asien und Europa_, p.
333; P. Jensen, _Hittiter und Armenier_, pp. 70, 150 _sqq._, 155
_sqq._; F. Hommel, _Grundriss der Geographie und Geschichte des
alten Orients_, pp. 44, 51 _sq._; L. Messerschmidt, _The Hittites_,
p. 40. Sir W. M. Ramsay thinks (_l.c._) that Tark was the native
name of the god who had his sanctuary at Dastarkon in Cappadocia and
who was called by the Greeks the Cataonian Apollo: his sanctuary was
revered all over Cappadocia (Strabo, xiv. 2. 5, p. 537). Prof.
Hommel holds that Tarku or Tarchu was the chief Hittite deity,
worshipped all over the south of Asia Minor. Prof. W. Max Müller is
of opinion that Targh or Tarkh did not designate any particular
deity, but was the general Hittite name for “god.” There are grounds
for holding that the proper name of the Hittite thunder-god was
Teshub or Teshup. See above, p. 135 note.
445 J. T. Bent, “Explorations in Cilicia Tracheia,” _Proceedings of the
Royal Geographical Society_, N.S. xii. (1890) p. 458; _id._, “A
Journey in Cilicia Tracheia,” _Journal of Hellenic Studies_, xii.
(1891) p. 222; W. M. Ramsay, _Historical Geography of Asia Minor_
(London, 1890), pp. 22, 364. Sir W. M. Ramsay had shown grounds for
thinking that Olba was a Grecized form of a native name Ourba
(pronounced Ourwa) before Mr. J. T. Bent discovered the site and the
name.
