i guess it depends on a context.. can u provide a context in which it was used? also aid of is htere.. one of the most prevalante usages is aid for..

Aid in (doing something)
(give) aid to (someone or somthing)

This is frequently the case with idioms that one preposition is appropriate when referring to a gerund and and another for a noun.

Example:
Sally aided Susie in planning her wedding.
G8 leaders gave aid to developing nations.

Aid for is incorrect usage in GMAT.....more often than not 'Aid in' is correct

thnx guys:)

i would read the text below as this: -

who were either asking (the goddess Bona Dea's aid) aid of the goddess Bona Dea's in healing physical and mental ills or thanking her for such help.

here to maintain parallelism
asking X + phrase1 or thanking X +phrase2

phrase1=in healing physical and mental ills
phrase2=for such help



is "to heal physical and mental ills" a phrase?
if not then A fit in the slot.

as far as I remember aid + nothing i.e analogous to consider x is an idiom.........

for example: The aid given is very less.

please correct me if I am wrong.........
