236 APPENDIX I. 



wife and children, making a complete sense ; but 

 the shortness of this line makes it probable that 

 something is wanting there also, and we accord- 

 ingly find that eavrco has no representative 

 in the Lycian part of the inscription. By adding 

 at the end of the line the common words atle 

 euwe, himself, we should fill up the blank space, 

 and bring the Lycian into harmony with the 

 Greek. Professor Grotefend avoids this diffi- 

 culty by regarding urppe as the pronoun himself 

 in which the author cannot agree. The pro- 

 fessor's translation of the common phrase urppe 

 atle euwe by sibi persona; sues, instead of pro per- 

 sona sua, as rendered by the author, appears 

 forced, and is contradicted by the way in which 

 urppe is used in several inscriptions ; while the 

 translation for is always consistent with the 

 construction to be expected. Moreover, if this 

 word were a pronoun, we should find it declined, 

 which is not the case. 



The last sentence presents more difficulties, 

 which are increased by the doubt whether the 

 lines are complete. Judging merely by the 

 length of the third line, we might imagine that 

 it had contained another word, but we have no 

 clue to it.
