328 Dr. Grorrrenp on Inscriptions found in Lycia and Phrygia. 
The last character in the fourteenth word is not perfectly marked in the 
second inscription, while in the third it is entirely omitted, and the character 
occupying its place seemingly belongs to the following word. Unless, by an 
oversight, one of the two similar characters has been here omitted, we might 
explain that which occurs at the end of the fourteenth word in the second 
inscription as being a sort of apostrophe. The character at the beginning 
of the fifteenth word, as well as of the tenth and the twelfth, is however, 
like the « in the Greek cos and zuec, to be considered as a prosthesis or a 
metathesis, since the possessive pronoun is to be derived from the personal 
pronoun cheppe (sibi), in the eighth word. Whether, in the ninth word of 
the fourth inscription, the digamma be only incorrectly written, or another 
word, as in the first inscription, be signified thereby, it is impossible to say, 
on account of the mutilated state of the following characters. 
The whole of the inscriptions, with the exception of the most difficult, 
the Carian, are therefore to be read and translated as follows :

That the Carian inscription is written in the Lycian, and not in the Carian 
language, appears deducible from the fact that, according to SrepHanus,t 
a grave was called in Carian Xovz, and that Tax signified a king. 
But it is now time to pass on to the two Phrygian inscriptions found by 
Colonel Leaxe ona tomb, which is cut in a rock in the Phrygian valley of 
Doganlu, near the borders of Bithynia and Lydia, the form being that of a 
palace with a very small entrance. The two inscriptions belong, as is proved
