マリヤはリュディア<ref>リュディア(紀元前7世紀 - 紀元前547年)は、アナトリア半島(現在のトルコ)のリュディア地方を中心に栄えた国家である。</ref>の女神マリスの前身であるというのが定説である。
It is agreed that Maliya was a forerunner to the [[Lydia]]n goddess Malis.{{sfn|Haas|2015|p=411}}{{sfn|Payne|2019|p=242}} She was understood as analogous to Greek Athena, as indicated by a Greek-[[Lydian language|Lydian]] bilingual text from [[Pergamon]] and by a number of literary references identified in works of authors such as [[Hipponax]] and [[Hesychius of Alexandria|Hesychius]].{{sfn|Payne|2019|p=241}} The aforementioned bilingual is one of the only Lydian texts which were not found in the proximity of [[Sardis]], and is substantially later than the rest of the corpus, with the most estimates dating it to the late fourth century BCE, specifically to the period between 330 and 325 BCE based on the fact that it mentions that a certain Paitaras was a donor responsible for funding the column it was inscribed on, erected during the construction of the local temple of Athena.{{sfn|Payne|Sasseville|2016|p=67}} Paitaras is not known from any other sources, though the fact his dedication is bilingual might indicate that Pergamon had an influential and prosperous Lydian community at the time.{{sfn|Payne|Sasseville|2016|p=68}}
