Text Appearing Before Image:
uins of the ancientcity of Limyra. A fine stately sarcophagus was thefirst indication of our approach, and this monument Ifound to be of high interest, from having upon its front,by the side of the door (which has had a portico), a bilin-gual inscription, Lycian and Greek. I think this is theone copied by Mr. Cockerell, and published in WalpolesTravels ; but I have taken a faithful copy, and hopethat it may prove a different one, affording additionalassistance in deciphering the language. Hundreds oftombs cut in the rocks, and quite excavating the longribs of its protruding strata, as they curved down thesides of the mountain, soon came in view, and their ex-amination occupied some hours. The inscriptions werealmost all Lycian,—some few Greek, but these were al-ways inferior in execution, some being merely scratchedupon the surface, while the Lycian were cut deeply in thestone, and many richly coloured; the letters being alter-nately red and blue, or in others green, yellow, or red.
