ictogram representing the cheek, orside of the face, Y8(viig), is often used, alone or with other pictograms,to spell qe-, the first syllable of qeTQo(g) and OetQia. At the beginningof an inscription (rarely elsewhere ^^), the pictogram is frequently drawnlarger and more elaborately, with one hand touching *° or pointing ^^ tothe face. Such an inscription was sometimes cut on the stele or statueof a king, for example at Marash ^^; and in such a case the pictogram ■■^ There was no one word for king in the Greek world, cf. ^aaiktvz,, ava^,aQyio.yzxy\c„ aQxcov, TVQavvog, etc., a fact that has historical significance.

Part of copy of the Inscription on the Marash Stele, CIH. II. 52. might appear as a large full figure of a man pointing to his face, as inthe case of our Marash stele.^^ The same is true of the parallel inscrip-tion on the Marash Lion.** Such a figure probably also incidentallyserved as a portrait of the king who put up the stone. It has repeatedlybeen suggested that our pictogram is an ideogram for I, and at firstsight there would seem to be some justification for this idea. Forexample, in the third line of our inscription we find— ^IH. II. 52. ^ CIH. I. 21 146 FLUGEL MEMORIAL VOLUME
