For other cults of Zeus at Perta, see the commentary to MAMA XI 309 (1956/169). The cult of Zeus Akouseos seems not to be attested elsewhere. The epithet Ἀκουσέος may be equivalent to ἐπήκοος, ‘Zeus who listens’ (cf. the commentary to MAMA XI 365 [1956/191]). For the name Mithradates at Perta, cf. perhaps MAMA XI 285 (1956/132: Zengicek [Koçyaka]); the name is twice attested at Meydanköy, in the steppe east of Laodikeia Katakekaumene (MAMA I 114; Anderson 1899: 289, no. 191).
