He seems to rely, however, entirely on the passage in the Acta Archelai (as to which see n. 1, p. 280 infra), wherein the supposed bishop Archelaus addresses the equally imaginary Manes as “Savage priest and accomplice of Mithras!”—possibly a mere term of abuse. See Hegemonius, Acta Archelai, ed. Beeson, Leipzig, 1906, c. XL. p. 59.
