260 APPENDIX I. 



The preceding inscription is far from being cor- 

 rect throughout : some of the obvious errors are 

 set right, but there are others which can only 

 be mended by another copy ; the latter half of 

 the sixth line especially wants revising. There 

 is very little of the inscription yet understood ; 

 but there are some points of interest in it which 

 are worth pointing out, of which the principal 

 is connected with the name of the town. -It is 

 found at Sura, and the name Soreze occurs three 

 times, at the end of the first and last lines 

 and in the third line. This is probably an in- 

 flection of Sorezu, the termination in ezu being 

 the Lycian equivalent of rjaaog, which with aaaoq 

 and ecffog is so common in the Greek names of 

 the towns of Asia Minor. Of this another 

 instance was pointed out (Appendix, p. 461) in 

 the legend Pttarazu of a coin referred to Patara. 

 The first line is marked as incomplete ; the word 

 was probably Sorezeue, a native of Sura. 



The owner of the tomb is described as Mez- 

 peteye : Moruzau : tones : Mlouedaza. In the 

 sixth line the name is written Mezrateye, one or 

 the other spelling being incorrect, and Mlouedaza 

 occurs again below. Taking touts as the equi- 

 valent of the Greek &c, we have the same doubt
