PLAIN OF TROY. 
As we journeyed from this place, we founds 
in a com field below the hill, a large mass of 
inscribed marble; but owing to the manner in 
which the stone was concealed by the soil, as 
well as the illegibility of the inscription, we 
could only discern the following characters, 
in which the name of Julim again occurs : 
lOYAlOY 
APXON 
KOtMON 
•Intient 
Sepulchre, 
and 
sustaining what was before advanced concern- 
ing the prevalence of names belonging to the 
family of Germanicus, or of persons who flou- 
rished about his time. Upon a medal of Claudius, 
described by Faillant\ belonging to Coty^ium, a 
city of Pkrygia, bordering upon TROAs^ we read 
the words EHI lOYAlOY YIOY KOTIAEHN. 
We proceeded hence towards the Plain : 
and no sooner reached it, than a Tumulus 
(1) Numism. Imperat. August, et Cses. p. 13. Par. 1698. 
(3) See the observation of Mentelle, (Enci/clop. Method. Geogr, 
Ancienne. Par. 1787.) who thus places it, on the authority of Pliny. 
This position of the city does not however appear to be warranted by 
any explicit declaration of that author. Pliny's words are : " Septen- 
trionali sui parte Galatio" conterminn, Mrridinna Lycaonia, Pisidice, 
Mygdoniceque, ab oriente Cappadociam. attingit. Oppida ibi celehfrrima , 
jprteter jam dicta, Ancyra, Andria, Celcena", Colosso", Carina, Cotiaion, 
Cerana, IcoJiiuni, Midaion." Plin. Hist. Nat. torn. I. lib. v. p. 284. 
Ed. L. Bat. 1635.
