⁶ All are in Tscherikower but Menedemium, which is Ptol. V, 5, 6; for the epigraphic evidence as to Docimeum and Docimus see L. Robert, *Rev. Phil.* LX, 1934, p. 267. It is at best doubtful whether the Themison who founded Themisonium was the minister of Antiochus II, as given in all the books, most recently by W. Ruge, *Themisonion* in PW; there is no evidence at all. *Prima facie*, Paus. X, 32, 4 shows that Themisonium existed in 277, but possibly the name is there used proleptically; see A. Wilhelm, *Πρακτικὰ ᾿Ακαδ. ᾿Αθηνῶν* VI, 1931, pp. 323-4.
