230 APPENDIX I. 



from the context of several inscriptions in which 

 it occurs ; but we now find it rendered /ecu av rig, 

 and in the bilingual inscription at Antiphellus 

 tav $e rig, which must be taken as the meaning ; 

 and, although in no instance is it divided by stops, 

 we must consider it as three words. It must be 

 observed, that the stops : which separate the 

 words in the Lycian inscriptions are not placed 

 between words in very close relationship to each 

 other ; thus the conjunctions are seldom sepa- 

 rated by the stops from the following word, and 

 frequently not from the preceding one. This 

 practice will be referred to again. Of the three 

 words here found together, two had been already 

 recognised : se is the conjunction and ; e had 

 been shown to be a pronoun (p. 472), and must 

 now be rendered anyone', and the remaining 

 conjunction ey may be compared to the Greek 

 s/, if. We thus find the exact translation to be, 

 and if anyone. 



We ought to find in the next word the trans- 

 lation of ahift^, but there is ground for suspicion 

 that we have more than one word in the Lycian, 

 and there seems to be at least one letter want- 

 ing at the end of the line. We do not find the 

 same combination of letters in any other inscrip-
