Stratonicea, a titular see in Caria (Asia Minor) suffragan of .Stauroijolis. Stratoniceia or Stratonicea w;is founded pcrh;ips on the site of the more ancient Idrias, in the interior of Caria, south-east of Mylassa, and south of the Marsyas, by Antiochus Soter, who named it after his wife Stratonice. His succes.sors embellished it with magnificent monuments, and it became one of the <-hief towns of Caria. Later it was ceded to the Rhodi;ins. Mithridates lived in it some time, and while there married the daughter of one of the principal citizens. Later it sustained a vigorous siege by Labienus. It is mentioned as a free town by Pliny. Some of its coins have been found. Near the city was a templ<' of Zeus Chrysaorcus, where the confederated Carian towns held their assemblies. To-day it is the small town of Eski Hissar, in the caza of Moughla, vilayet of .Smyrna. It h.as extensive ruins, a theatre, tomb, columns, etc. The "Notitiaj cpiscopatuum " mention the .see till the thirteenth centur;' among the suffnigans of St:iuropolis. Only three of its bishops are known, by their signatures at councils: Eupeithus, at Chalcedon, 451; Theopemp- tus, at Const;intinople, 692; Gregory, at Nicaea, 787.

Streber, Franz Icnaz von, numismatist and theo- logian, b. at Rei.sbach, Lower Bavaria. 11 Feb., 17.58; d. at .Munich, 26 April, 1841. In 1783 he wa.s made court ch;ipl:iin. in 1S21 auxiliary bishop, in 1822 cathe- dral provost of Munich. In 1782 he wa.s appointed curator of the cabinet of coins of the elector. His work was to unite the Mannheim or Palatinal collec- tion with the Munich or Bavarian collection of the

Wittelsbach line, which had been in disorder since the Thirty Years' War, and to arrange the combined col- lection in scientific order. On account of the dis- turbances caused by war he was obliged to carry off and conceal the cabinet of coins five times, each time re-arranging it anew. He wrote a history of the royal Bavarian cabinet of coins, and several treatises on Bavarian and Greek numismatics, most of which ap- peared in the transactions of the Academy of Munich.

Aug. v. Loehr. Streber, Franz Seraph, numismatist and nephew of the :ibove, b. at Deutenkofen, Lower Bavaria, 26 Feb., 1805; d. at Munich, 21 Nov. 1864. He first studied theology and philosophy, then archaeology and nuinismal ics, and wrote in 1830 as his dissertation for obtaining the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Er- langen a paper on the genealogy of the Burgraves of Nuremberg. In 1854 he became a member of the Academy of Munich In 1835 he was made professor of archieology at the University of Munich, of which he was twice rector. In 1827 he was made clerk, in 1830 assistant, and in 1841 curator of the royal cabinet of coins. He also worked on the numisnuitic collec- tion of Vienna and prepared a critical (':\t;ilogue of 18.000 Greek coins and a numismatico-inconographic lexicon with drawings of .about (iOOO Greek coins be- longing to the Viennese and Munich collections. In 1834 he published the work "Numismata nonnuUa gricca", which corrected false and inexact designations of coins; this was crowned with a prize by the .Vcad- emy of Paris as was also his important investigation concerning what are called the rainbow patina, which he was the first to recognize as Celtic (vol. IX of the papers of the Munich Academy). Further papers on Celtic, Greek, and medieval coins, also on archaology, mythology, and the history of art, aiipe:ired chiefly in the publications of the Munich Academj'. He also drew up a "Promemoria" that is preserved among the records of the royal cabinet of coins, as to the expenses and the plan of a monumental work covering the en- tire field of Greek numism;itics thiit was to take the place of the old work by Eckhel and lie about one-half larger. Streber was also prominent in politics as a strong supporter of the ecclesiastico-conserv.ative party. He founded the association for a constitu- tional monarchy and religious freedom, and wrote many politiciU memorials at its request.

Aug. v. Loehr. Streber, Hermann, son of Franz Seraph Streber, b. at Munich, 27 Sriil ,, IsiiO; .1. ;il Tr.lz, 9 Aug., 1896. He entered the Ijidw ii;.-u\ in'wisiuni in 1S.50, but a nervous fever prcvinliil hun linui <iualifying for the univer.sity through the usual fin.al school examination. From this ailment he never completely recovered. Entering the university by a private ex<amination in 18.58, he devoted over two years to the studj' of phi- losophy and theology, attending besides historic;il lectures. During this period he comjiiled a descrip- tion and catalogue of the ancient coins in the Royal Cabinet of Medals. In 1861 he entered the archi- episcopal seminary at Freising, and in 1864 was ordained prie.st. Owing to the death of his father he was unable to pursue his original intentif)n of study- ing numismatics. In 1867 he was appointed religious teacher at the Wihelmsgymna.sium. Having re- ceived six months' leave of absence in 1868, he won the doctorate in theology in Home (.Ian., 1869). He then resumed his duties a.s religious teacher until .lune, 1870, when he'wasdismis.sed for alleged "intrigu- ing in favour of the dogma of infaililiility". He was then named pastor of Wolfersdorf, near Freising. Invited by Professor Hergenrother to assist him in editing the new edition of the " Kirchcnlcxikon",
