translation, what is the signification of each particular word. Whether the 
words of the Carian inscription are properly divided or not, must be left 
undecided, in consequence of its imperfect state. The separation of words 
in the other inscriptions, is for the most part determined by a colon, either 
in one inscription or another, or by other signs, as will appear in the course 
of the examination. Now, if we wish to ascertain the signification of the 
respective words, our first care must be to seek out the names, of which 
the Greek translation exhibits three. No one of these is more easily 
perceived than Siparios in the fifth word, by which also the different names 
of the remaining inscriptions are given. With little more difficulty, the 
name of Pyxrate is discovered in the last word of the first inscription. But 
we are not to infer that the other inscriptions should also contain a name at 
this particular place. The greatest obstacle is in the decyphering of the 
name, which, in the Greek translation, is rendered by Temyoc, since not 
only does the Greek translation present a Jacuna in this name, but the 
Lycian inscription itself shews a considerable gap in that part at which the 
name in question should be found. Hence it has happened, that M. Sarnt- 
Marty has both read the name in the Greek translation in a manner with 
which we cannot easily agree, and has sought for this name in a wrong part 
of the Lycian inscription. Taking both the p’s of the eighth word for two 
n’s, he finds the name Tetyy¢ in a word which occurs in all the inscriptions ; 
whereas it appears, on the contrary, to have stood in the mutilated spot 
immediately after the name of Srparios. 
Next to the names, there is no word of which the import is more clearly 
discoverable than the seventh, which in the Greek translation is rendered 
by vic. Now as this word in the fourteenth passage corresponds to the 
Greek wid, which undoubtedly signified a daughter (since 037 would have 
been written for a grand-daughter), zeic, or child, may be considered as its 
proper meaning, and it is very possible that the slightly varied termination 
of this word denotes the plural, children. We can only thus account for 
the circumstance, that in the fourth inscription nothing occurs after this 
word; whereas, both in the second and third, a word is found after it, 
which, according to the termination, must be an adjective belonging to it. 
This adjective likewise in the twelfth word appears in the singular, belong- 
ing to the eleventh word, which, following the Greek translation, must be 
taken to signify woman ; for, in the fourth inscription, this word is preceded 
by the same two signs, which are found at the thirteenth passage before the
