As a goddess of the lower world she was the patroness of all enchanters and enchantresses, who were her disciples and protegés.

6. Heroon. The Hiereion.

Heroon is the shrine of a hero, from ἥρως, a hero. Hesiod reserves this name for mortals of divine origin, who are therefore also known as demigods.

7. The Tyche, identified with the Roman Fortuna. A female deity—the daughter of Zeus. She was of more importance in Italy than among the Greeks.

In Greek mythology she was originally the goddess of chance. In the course of time she came to be extensively worshipped as a goddess of prosperity, who had cities under her special protection.

Meyer (pp. 122 and 158), refers to the Tyche as a familiar figure upon Gazæan coins, having a woman's head, with a turreted crown consisting of three towers, one of which is pierced with a door, and with a veil over the back of her head.

The reverse side of the coin of Antoninus in Plate XI, No. 7, of De Saulcy's Numismatique de la Palestine, is a good representation of the Gaza Tyche.

8. The Marneion.

The Temple of Marnas is spoken of as the Marneion, a home of the city's god.
