Limyra, and (as we learn from Mr. Forbes) Mr. 

 Daniell concluded in consequence, that it was

 inscriptions, and although its meaning cannot 

 be fixed with certainty, we cannot be far wrong 

 if we render the last two words native of Perecle, 

 citizen of Perecle, by birth a Pereclean, or some 

 such expression. 



One of the inscriptions, copied by Mr. Cock-

 (No. 3) in Walpole's Travels, has an analogous 

 phrase. It is nearly perfect, and may be restored

The first part is perfectly intelligible, but the 

 last three words furnish considerable trouble, and 

 the last word, gitafata, is quite unknown. There 

 are a number of forms resembling this in other 

 inscriptions, gitafasa, gitafataue, gitafateiie, gitawo, 

 gitawato, gitafatutofe, &c, from which we may con- 

 clude that it belongs to a verb. In the meantime
