Note 155 — Chapter II · THE ALEXANDRIAN DIVINITIES

So Plutarch and Tacitus where before quoted. The conflicting traditions on the subject have been reconciled by Krall, Tacitus und der Orient, Th. I. Bd iv. 83, 84. Cf. Bouché-Leclercq, Hist. de la Divination, t. III. p. 378, n. 1; id. Hist. de Lagides, t. I. p. 118; Lafaye, Culte, etc. pp. 16, 17. There is little doubt that the statue of Bryaxis represented Asklepios as Bouché-Leclercq (Rev. Hist. Rel. 1902, pp. 26, 27) surmises. Isidore Lévy sums up the whole question in the Revue last quoted, 1911, pp. 146, 147, and 1913, pp. 308 sqq. So Ad. Reinach, Rev. cit. pt 2, p. 69. The statue is described by Rufinus Aquilensis, Hist. Eccl. Bk II. c. 23. Cf. Dionysius, Periegetes, ll. 254, 256 (Didot, Geogr. Gr. mi. t. II. p. 116); Amelung, Rev. Archéol., 1903, pt 2, pp. 187-204.
