a very high mountain in the island of Rhodes, on which, according to Strabo and Diodorus Siculus, there stood a temple of Jupiter Atabyrus, whose worship a colony of Rhodians carried into Sicily, where a temple was built to the same deity at Agrigentum.

ATARGATIS FANUM, 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 Bambyce, called afterwards Hierapolis. It was extremely rich, inso much 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.
