THE LYCIAN CITIES. 53 



or Caria, with one exception, that of Gaga;.* 

 Tombs with inscriptions in the same language 

 are found at all those places ; and upon the whole 

 there is sufficient foundation for the conclusion 

 that the number of cities in which there are 

 traces of the people speaking this language and 

 building these tombs, is about the same as that 

 of the cities coining the triquetra, viz., Cadyanda, 

 Pinara, Tlos, Arsa, Xanthus, Patara, Telmessus, 

 Araxa, Antiphellus, Pyrrha, Phellus, Candyba, 

 Armootlee, probably Podalia; Cyanae 1st, and 

 the 3rd-found Cyanae ; Dembra Gorge (Tra- 

 bala ?), Myra, Sura, Limyra, Corydalla, Rho- 

 diopolis, Daedala, and Caunus. This list, formed 

 from a tolerably minute survey of the country, 

 includes, I believe, all the places in which 

 there are traces of the so-called Lycian language 

 or tombs, and may probably serve in a material 

 degree to throw light, — if not altogether explain 

 the names found on the coins, since there can be 

 little doubt of their being eventually shown to be 

 exactly so. Either, then, these coins were in 

 currency before the tombs were sculptured, or 



* Mr. Sharpe has since altered the sound of a letter in 

 the alphabet, which will not admit of the assigning these coins 

 to Gagae.
