᾿Απφία. To the examples from the inscriptions of this Phrygian proper name given by Lightfoot Co/ossians® p. 306 f. add Perg Il. 513 ᾿Ιουλίαν ᾿Απφίαν Λικιαννήν, and C. and B. no. 309 (ii. p. 470—Apamea, pagan) ᾿Απφία ΠΙαπίου μήτηρ. In /BL xxvii. pt. ii. p. 145 Hatch cites three instances of the form’ Ad(a from PAS iii. 482, 508, 594 (Pisidia and Phrygia) In noting that the name is not to be found in the Magnesian inscriptions Thieme (p. 39) quotes Κα. Buresch Aus Lydien, Leipzig, 1898, p. 44, to the effect: ‘‘ Der Name (‘Adtas) gehért einer grossen in W/(est)-Kleinasien und besonders N(ord)-Lydien sehr verbreiteten Namenfamilie an, deren Mitglieder mit wa, re, bd, Φ geschrieben erscheinen.” See also Radermacher Gy. p. 40 n+, who supports from an early Lycian inscr. the spelling ᾿Αφφία (found in D).
