AMPHILOCHUS, son of Amphiaraus and Eriphyle, was a celebrated diviner. He had an altar erec-
ted to him at Athens, and an oracle at Mallus in Cilicia, which city was founded by him and Mopsus. The answers of this oracle were given by dreams; the party inquiring used to pass a night in the temple, and that night's dream was the answer. Dion Cassius mentions a picture done by order of Sextus Conidianus, representing the answer he received of the oracle, in the reign of the emperor Commodus.
