312 APPENDIX III. 



two Segestazie and Segestazibemi seem to be 

 perfect words. There are two points in these 

 names which have a resemblance to what is 

 found in some Lycian coins: first, that the early, 

 name of the town must have been Segestaza, or 

 Segestazi, which, losing its Asiatic termination, 

 was reduced in time to Segesta, as in the cases 

 of Soura and Patara and Pitue given above ; the 

 other is the termination in emi, of which we 

 have an instance in the Lycian coins of Trouneme ; 

 and, if I am right in the explanation given of the 

 coins of Techche and Telewe, we shall have here 

 an instance of the formation of the gentile name 

 in nearly the same manner, by the addition of 

 the syllable be, forming Segestazibe. 



WEIGHT OF THE LYCIAN COINS. 



At present we have not the weights of a 

 Sufficient number of coins to enable us to 

 speak with any certainty of the weights cur- 

 rent in Lycia, especially as it appears that 

 the towns did not all adopt the same stan- 

 dard. From the slight data we possess, there 

 seem to have been two, or perhaps three, units 

 in use in different parts of the country.
