ATARGATIS PANUM, the temple of a goddess worshipped by the Syrians and Parthians, having the face of a woman and tail of a fish, and called Derceto by the Greeks. Her temple stood in the city Bamyce, called afterwards Hieropolis. It was extremely rich, inasmuch that Crassus, in his march against the Parthians, spent several days in weighing the treasure. Vossius makes the name of this goddess Phoenician from Addir dag, "the great fish."
