Molleueseu, in the Greek MoXAktioc. In

 alteration similar to that which we find in the 

 same inscription in the name Porimatis. 



Dapafa is the next name, if we trust the 

 Lycian version, but the Greek has it Aairapag.

 part of this word, which may only be owing to a 

 flaw in the stone, or there may have been an- 

 other syllable in the word. The Greek form 

 YivpifianoQ makes it appear complete, but on 

 the inscription No. 7 we find the nominative 

 name Poreuemetete, and in No. 26, which is 

 too imperfect to be of much assistance, Poreu-

 inscriptions relate to the same person ; probably
