This Toxaris, ace. to Lucian, lived in Athens as the friend of Solon, was buried in the Ceramicus, and subsequently deified and worshipped as the "Stranger-physician/' in the belief that through advice given by his spirit the plague was stayed in Athens. The true explanation of Kaa/jLLT7)s (wh. has been made to mean by some probe-man or surgeon, by others reed-man, as the patron of flogging schoolmasters!) has been found, doubtless, by Professor Goodwin, whose interpretation we take from Vol. IV. Transactions of the Amer. Philol. Assoc, 1873.

Now KaXairns can mean bowman (or, more exactly, arrowman), as KaXa/mos very often means an arrow of reed. It will then be simply an equivalent for Scythian, and it will be remembered that the police of Athens were called both 2kij0cu and Toz&tcll." This monument was a relic of antiquity even in the time of Dem., and he refers to it as marking a well-known locality.
