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