[170.1] Vide _Cults_, iii. pp. 305-306; Sir William Ramsay, in _Amer. Journ. Arch._, 1887, p. 348, expressed his belief in the prevalence of the cult of an Anatolian goddess in the later period, regarded as a virgin-mother and named Artemis-Leto; the fact is merely that the goddess Anaitis was usually identified with Artemis, but occasionally with Leto; but we nowhere find Artemis explicitly identified with Leto, and the interpretation which he gives to the Messapian inscription (Artamihi Latho[i], vide _Rhein. Mus._, 1887, p. 232, Deeke) appears to me unconvincing.

[170.2] The fact that a part of her temple at Kyzikos was called Παρθενών does not indicate a virgin-goddess. M. Reinach is, in my opinion, right in explaining it as “the apartment of the maidens” where the maiden priestesses assembled (_Bull. Corr. Hell._, 1908, p. 499).

[171.1] _Cults_, vol. i., “Athena,” R. 66.

[171.2] A different view of the whole question might be presented if I was dealing here with the evidence gleaned from the period just before Christianity.
