312 RUINS OF TELMESSUS. 
CHAP. Again passing the Tomb of Helen, and 
,- ' proceeding a little farther towards the east, we 
came to the remains of a Monument, which 
1 should have believed to have been the famous 
Mauscv Cenotaph erected by Artemisia in honour of her 
husband, from its conformity to the accounts 
given of that work, if Strabo had not assigned 
for it a different situation \ Hard by, upon a 
block of marble, we noticed the following 
inscription, perhaps referring to this building. 
The stone seemed as if it had been placed over 
the entrance of some edifice. It purports that 
a person of the name of " Sammias constructed 
the monument for himself, his wife Auocesis', 
daughter of Naneis, his family, and descen- 
dants :" and concludes with the usual prohibi- 
tion concerning its exclusive appropriation ; and 
the fine to be levied in consequence of its viola- 
tion, to be paid to the Senate.
