ON GREEK INSCRIPTIONS. 283 



remarkable remains of antiquity they contain, 

 few of them are linked with important events 

 in history, and some of the most extensive are 

 little more than named by ancient authors. 

 This is not the case with Termessus Major, 

 which, from the earliest times, appears to have 

 been a city of great consequence, and to have 

 played a distinguished part in war. Hence 

 we find the Termessians often mentioned by 

 ancient historians, and their city fully described. 

 We copied many inscriptions among the ruins 

 of Termessus. Some of these were also copied 

 by Professor Schonbrun, who appears to have 

 visited this site during the same year : his have 

 been lately published in Boeckh's Corpus. 

 Among them is the first of the following: we 

 repeat it from our own transcript on account 

 of its importance, since it contains the name 

 of the city with the epithet Greater affixed.
