called the inscribed monument at Xanthus; it is covered on the four 
sides with a long inscription in the language of the ancient Lycians, in 
which there is mention of the son of Harpagus, and several Lycian towns 
and states; on the north side is a Greek inscription of twelve hexameter 
lines, which, commencing with the first line of one of the epigrams of 
the poet Simonides, who flourished b.c. 556, records the warlike exploits 
of the son of Harpagus, and that this column was erected in consequence 
in the agora, or market-place of the twelve gods.

armed and advancing, the other fallen; found at the base of the

wooden coffer or roofed house, with beams issuing forth at the sides; 
the upper part roofed with an arch resembling the early Gothic. The 
groove in the ridge surmounting the arch was probably for the 
insertion of a bull’s head of some other material, these tombs being 
represented so decorated in the Lycian rock sculptures. On each side 
of the roof is an armed figure, perhaps Glaucus or Sarpedon, in a 
chariot of four horses, and along the ridge a combat of warriors on 
horseback, and a Lycian inscription recording that the tomb was made 
by Paiafa; at the east side are two naked figures and sphinxes, at the 
west two sphinxes and a small door for introducing the corpse. On 
the north side below is a combat of warriors on foot and horseback, 
and the satrap Paiafa seated, attended by four figures. On the east 
side other figures of men or gods, and an inscription recording that the 
tomb was made by Paiafa. On each side of the roof are two water¬ 
spouts in the form of a lion’s head. Xanthus .
