| ENT_MYST_THEOS_HYPSISTOS | PER_LATE_ANTIQUE | high | The 'Most High God' venerated across the Roman East by pagans, God-fearers, and the Hypsistarians; attested in hundreds of dedicatory inscriptions and patristic notices, partly converging with the Jewish God (Yahweh). A cult-title rather than a single named deity (Mitchell; Burkert, Ancient Mystery Cults). | SRC_BURKERT_MYSTERY_CULTS | reviewed |
