INSCRIBED TOMBS. 161 



A mile beyond the last of the sources of 

 the Limyrus, is a projecting arm of the moun- 

 tain, in the face of which are many well-carved 

 rock-tombs. On some of these are Lycian in- 

 scriptions in good preservation, and on one 

 the letters are Phoenician, with a line in Greek 

 below, in which mention is made of the city of 

 Corydalla. It will be seen, that not far from 

 this place we found Corydalla, at the site sup- 

 posed by Sir C. Fellows to be Gagse, and these 

 tombs were possibly the necropolis of that town. 

 Under the Lycian inscription (No. 24, of Mr. 

 Sharped Memoir) are the words O0INIK02 

 TYRin, a brief memorial of the strangers who 

 formerly visited this country, probably for pur- 

 poses of trade. The characters are badly cut, 

 and there is no reason to suppose that they 

 were coeval with the Lycian letters above them. 

 Passing these tombs, we came to a long level 

 bridge of twenty-five arches, crossing a broad 

 torrent issuing from a narrow gorge and no 

 doubt formidable in the rainy season. This 

 bridge has the aspect of having been erected 

 in Roman times, and is substantial and well 

 constructed. The torrent is now called the Alla- 

 gheer Tchy, but there is no mention made of
