Ariomardus

（*)Ario/mardos), a Persian word, the latter part of which is the same as the Persian merd (vir), whence comes merdi (virilitas, virtus). Ario-mardus would therefore signify " a man or hero honourable, or entitled to respect." (Pott, Etymologische Forschungen, p. xxxvi.) Respecting the meaning of Ario, see ARIARATHES.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street.
