Extract

The base of the peninsula, from the Karaova to Halicarnassus and the Karadağ, is of limestone and singularly devoid of water. It rises to heights of five and six hundred metres in the Kaplan Daği (Mt. Lide) and Karadağ, with steep slopes on the north side and little valleys opening southwards. The western part of the peninsula is said to be of volcanic formation with fundamental gneiss; the hills here are fearfully denuded and sometimes fantastically gnarled, but there are pockets of fertile land in the central valleys and a number of distinct little coastal plains. The peninsula from Halicarnassus westward belongs to the Aegean world and is capable of supporting a normal Aegean economy. The present population of the kaza of Bodrum, which extends on the east beyond Mumcular, is 24,000, of whom about 11,000 live in Bodrum itself on the site of the ancient Halicarnassus.

The sketch map Fig. 1 is based on the Turkish 1: 200,000 survey, but with some modifications. The field exploration which forms the basis of this article occupied about six weeks. We were throughout guided by the map and description of the peninsula published by Paton and Myres after their joint exploration sixty years ago, which laid secure foundations for the study of the geography of Western Caria and the antiquities of the Lelegian country; no subsequent work in this region can compare with theirs in thoroughness or acuteness of observation. We have at points been able to supplement or correct their descriptions, and in places we have judged differently of the evidence on the ground (particularly the chronological testimonies offered by the ancient potsherds), but always with a sense of our own fallibility in work of such a sort where the majority of observations are in fact unverified assumptions.

2 For the plotting of positions in the interior of the Myndos peninsula we have in general regarded Paton, and Myres', map (JHS XVI, pl. 11)Google Scholar as the most accurate; for the 200-metre contour we have attempted to combine Philippson's indications with those on the Turkish map, but refer the reader to Paton and Myres' map for a truer impression of the relief. Paton and Myres did not undertake an accurate survey to the east of the Myndos peninsula, and we have therefore followed the Turkish map in this part of our sketch map.

4 By the generosity of Sir John Myres we were enabled to carry a copy of ‘Carian Sites and inscriptions’ with us in the field, and subsequently had his notes and correspondence with Paton at our disposal. We take this opportunity of mentioning also with gratitude those who have helped us in the field, notably Osman Bilgin and Ahmet Davas, and Mrs. J. M. Cook, Miss M. Bean, Mr. R. V. Nicholls, and Mr. W. C. Brice, who accompanied us on some of the shorter journeys and have helped with the illustrations in this article; also, in addition to those named below, Dr. M. Mitsos and Mr. D. M. Lewis for assistance with inscriptions in Athens, Mr. I. Kondis, who gave us access to Biliotti's field notebook of 1865, and Mr. B. Ashmole for allowing us to refer to unpublished objects from Halicarnassus in the British Museum.

24 Newton, 269, noted some large blocks a little distance inland from the middle of Kumbahçe bay, and therefore assumed that the circuit continued on the same axis to the sea.

28 Mr. P. E. Corbett, who has examined these fragments, kindly informs us that such krater handles are usually to be dated in the first quarter of the fourth century, but that they continue, with carelessly drawn decoration (as here), into the second quarter. The trapezoidal work of the tower also seems a pre-Hellenistic mode (cf. Scranton, Greek Walls 167 ff.).

33 The modern motor road keeps to the east side of this crest to avoid the steep descent into the valley.

34 It is perhaps worth remark, though not in any way decisive, that in Arrian's account (I 23, 5) Alexander, on entering the city after the Persians' withdrawal, looked down on the ‘island’ fort and Salmacis (cf. p. 87). This is one of the passages which disproves the recurring misconception that the ‘island’ to which the Persians withdrew was Arconnesus (the modern Karaada).

35 Diod. XVII 24, 1 implies that Alexander sent his engines and corn by sea to Halicarnassus. But Arrian (I 20, 1) states that Alexander at this point dismissed his fleet; the Persian triremes ὲφὼρμουν τῶ̣ λιμὲνι the Persians were able to send reinforcements by sea from Halicarnassus to Myndus, and at the end of the siege their fleet effected the withdrawal to Cos (Diod. XVII 27, 5). The supplies from Miletus may in fact have been shipped to Torba Bay and thence brought overland to Yokuşbaşi by the Mausolan road (p. 131).

36 Newton marks a small gate here, from which a narrow mountain path leads up the glen to Gökçeler (p. 123, ancient Pedasa); the easier, though longer, route by Çirkan branches from the Myndus road.

37 See the plan, Newton I, pl. 73, where the walling in the pylon may be partly conjectural.

41 The pedestal Plate 13 (d) is one of a pair, mirror twins, in blue limestone, dug up by Newton (324 f.) and now built into the walls of a house. H. 1·24, width 0·48, front to back on moulding 0·44.; plain on top. A fragment with a fillet ornamented with rosettes, perhaps from another such pedestal, is built into a neighbouring house. Newton (270 note e) reported another limestone block, with a shield in relief and a triglyph, at the konak on the waterfront.

Traces of red paint on the body. The thong is slung over a fork in the bole of the tree. The eyelids are heavy and the right one droops; and the modelling of the torso is shallow. The figure is slightly dwarfish and, despite its presumed descent from the Pergamene tradition, mild and undramatic in aspect. For the types of the Hanging Marsyas. cf. Stuart Jones, Cat. Conservatori 165 ff. The counterfeit red paint (which is also found on another white marble example in Kos Museum) seems to blur the sharp distinction between ‘red’ and ‘white’ types of the Hanging Marsyas.

A few other bits of archaic striped ware were found.

57 II 124 f., 154 f. Mr. R. A. Higgins dates the head ibid. 124 to the late fifth century. At Kislelik also on the east of the town Newton opened sarcophagi (334 ff.) containing vases about which Mr. P. E. Corbett of the British Museum has kindly informed us as follows: ‘The vase mentioned by Newton, , Halicarnassus II 335Google Scholar, is the late Attic pelike E 428; the two vases on p. 336 are a second pelike F 14, and a light cup-kotyle, 57. 12–20. 226. The two pelikai are pretty well contemporary, to judge by their shape; E 428 must be of much the same date as Schefold, Untersuchungen, nos. 474 and 514, which are shown to be earlier than 350 B.C. by comparison with Olynthus XIII, pl. 64–65, 50. Though F 14 is much corroded the main scene can be recognised as a fight between a mounted Oriental and a Greek: the mounted figure may be compared with Olynthus XIII, pl. 45. The two figures on the reverse of F 14 seem contemporary with the cloaked youths of Olynthus XIII, pl. 38, no. 28. Thus the date of both figured vases is about 360 B.C. or perhaps a little after. The form and decoration of the cup-kotyle suggest a date in the third quarter of the century, rather than the second, though not too long after the middle of the century’. The pelike E 428 was found in a sarcophagus, together with a fifth-century silver tetrobol of Chios. The pelike F 14 and the cup-kotyle were found in another sarcophagus. These burials seem therefore to date from the first decades of the Mausolan city; they appear to lie outside the main east circuit, but it is not clear in Newton's description whether or not they would lie outside an assumed course of the ‘exterior wall’ in this sector (see above, p. 90).

58 Mr. Higgins kindly informs us that the rude horseman BMC Terracottas 92 (B 118) and a number of other similar pieces found by Newton in the sepulchral chamber of the Mausoleum, site (Halicarnassus II 147)Google Scholar are to be dated somewhere in the sixth century B.C.

To judge by the meagre remains that we have seen the Halicarnassian relief pithoi seem to be smaller and thinner-walled than those of Rhodes, and Cnidus, (BCH LXXIV 135 ff.)Google Scholar and to be devoid of figured decoration.

66 Tacitus, A. IV 55.Google Scholar The claim, put forward in A.D. 26, was that the city had stood for 1200 years and never suffered from an earthquake. It is likely that the age of the city was computed on a chronological system linked to the Troica and that a high dating was adopted to impress the Senate; it does not therefore follow that the foundation was regarded as anterior to the descent of the Heraclidae.

67 Strabo XIV 653, (after the death of Codrus) Κνὶδος μὲν γὰρ καὶ ῾Αλικαρνασὸς οὺδ᾿ὴν πω, ῾ὸδος δ᾿ ὴν καὶ Κῶς This admittedly conflicts with the tradition that Anthes left Troezen when the sons of Pelops came from Pisatis (cf. Strabo VIII 374), but is supported by Pausanias' πολλοῑς ἔτεσιν ὕστερον (II 30, 9). It is notable that Halicarnassus is not mentioned in Diodorus' account of the Dorian foundations in the Southern Sporades and Caria (V 53 ff.).

74 Cf. Paton-Hicks, Inscriptions of Cos p. xvii. The reputed Argive settlement at Iasus is said by Polybius (XVI 12, 2 f.) to have taken reinforcements under the son of Neileus from Miletus to make good its losses in war with the Carians; and it is not unlikely that Halicarnassus also received Ionic immigrants; a legend (Parthenius XIV) shows a Halicarnassian youth of the royal family held as a hostage by the ruling house at Miletus.

79 This case is in fact more arguable if one takes into account the ancient testimonies that both the Mausoleum and the palace of Mausolus were standing intact in later times. Cf. p. 91, n. 32.

81 Cf. the elegiac dedication of Panamyes (p. 93).

82 Cf. BMC Coins, Caria, pl. 18, Head, HN 2 617 f. It is worth noting in this connection that the series of late archaic and classical terracotta figurines from Halicarnassus (nn. 58 and 63) are thoroughly Greek and seem on the present evidence to be products of a local fabric.

85 Herodotus (V 118) names Pixodarus, son of Maussollus, of Cindya, who was married to a daughter of the Syennesis of Cilicia, c. 497 B.C. Pixodarus and Maussollus are two of the three Hecatomnid male names; the known male names in Artemisia's family are Pisindelis, Lygdamis and Apollonides. In Suidas' entry s.v. ῾Πὶγρης ᾿ there seems to be a confusion between the two Artemisias, since Pigres can hardly have been a brother of the later one, whereas the unqualified phrase Μαυσὼλου γυναικὸς can only refer to the wife of the famous Mausolus; the phrase τῆς ὲν τοῖς πολὲμοις διαφανοῦς could well be referred to either Artemisia; the younger one was noted for her capture of a Rhodian fleet in the harbour of Halicarnassus and capture of Rhodes itself, and the stratagem which led to the capture of Latmus (Polyaenus VIII 53 f.) must also be referred to her. Vitruvius (II 8, 11) says that Mausolus was born in Mylasa and transferred his residence to Halicarnassus on account of the advantages of the situation.

86 Strabo XIV 657 f.; Athenian tribute lists (ATL I 522, Μὺνδιοι παοἀ Τὲρμερα cf. Phot. s.v. ῾Τερμὲρια ᾿); Ps.-Scylax 99; Mela I 85; Pliny, , NH V 107Google Scholar; Anon. Stad. 276–8.

87 The identification has not been attested by inscriptions; but Paton, who had a residence at Gümüşlük, remarked the preponderance of Myndian issues among the coins found there (JHS XX 80). The mediaeval testimonies alone might in fact be decisive for the location.

97 Newton's explanation (II 574) that this side is less naturally strong could only be applied to the lowermost end of this stretch.

98 The small foundation near the north tip of the peninsula, which Spratt and Newton (II 575,I, pl. 83) took for a bath, is now under water but must have stood on terra firma in antiquity.

99 We noted an epikranon with carved cross among the architectural pieces close at hand.

100 The wall of squared blocks traversing the base of the isthmus, which Newton (II 578) noted as ancient, can hardly be so, since pieces of tile can be seen in the joints.

101 Spratt marks it as extending from the peak almost to the north tip, and Paton apparently described it as doing so in the 1880s (JHS VIII 66, fig. 2); Guidi's assertion that it starts from the north summit of the peninsula and descends towards the sea in a southerly direction (Ann. IV–V 365) seems to correspond, assuming the topographical directions to be inverted.

112 Robert's discussion in Coll. Froehn. 65–9 should be regarded as decisive.

113 We adopt Robert's lettering in Coll. Froehn. 85–6. The visible crest from D to B subtends an angle of Θυαγγ[ελεὺς] degrees when seen obliquely from Alâzeytin at a distance of c. 6 km.

114 Robert, Coll. Froehn. 85, observes mistakenly that the tetrapyrgon is linked to the west angle of the main perimeter by a single wall. He has no doubt reached this conclusion from a study of his own composite photograph, pl. XXVI, but the appearances are deceptive; in fact, a wall runs up to each of the eastern towers of the fort: see Fig. 4. The tetrapyrgon, as Mr. E. W. Marsden pointed out to us, is of unusually powerful construction and designed to resist artillery.

114a The fragments in question were deposited by Miss Akarca in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul; we are indebted both to her and to the Museum Director, B. Rüstern Duyuran, for permission to announce this discovery in advance of publication.

116 See RE s.v. ‘Theangela’.

117 The strongly moulded projecting rim of this vase seems best matched by the profiles of early Hellenistic vases (e.g. Trendall, Paestan Pottery, pl. 38 below).

118 We have no information regarding the ‘large tumuli’ seen by Paton and Myres on a distant skyline ‘probably in the neighbourhood of Theangela’ (JHS XVI 198); we suspect they may have been the fortified peaks of Theangela itself.

119 The case has been argued, conclusively as we think, by Robert, Coll. Froehn. 82 n. 7 and in ATL I 551–2, as against Ruge in RE s.v. ‘Theangela’. We have nothing to add: the intermediate form Συαγγελ[ῆς ] καὶ ᾿Αμυνα[νδὴς ] seems to us almost decisive in itself.

126 ὲκομὶσθη ὺπὸ Μιχαὴλ Βογιατзῆ ὲκ τοῦ φρουρὶου Θεαγγελὶας (῾Αλικαρνασσοῦ) This man is known as a priest of Poseidon Isthmius at Halicarnassus (CIG 2655).

127 It is accepted by Ruge in RE s.v. ‘Theangela’ 1374 and by Robert, Coll. Froehn. 84–5.

128 ‘Der Vermerk der neuen Erwerbungen n. 199; ὲκ τῆς ῾Αλικαρνασσοῦ lehrt, dass der Stein von der Ruinenstätte (sc. Etrim) stammt.’ In fact, as was seen above, this entry belongs not to 199 but to 196.

129 The alternative is hardly attractive, namely to suppose that Μενεκρὰτης Μενεκρὰτου Θεαγγελαὺς means merely that the stone, though found at Etrim, was shipped to Athens from Bodrum.

130 IG II2 8831, Κρητικὰ Χρονικὰ is there dated by Kirchner to the first century B.C. If this is correct, it is conclusive against the supposed second-century incorporation in Halicarnassus. In the Addenda, however, a second-century date is preferred for the epitaph: ‘s. I a. Theangela non iam sui iuris fuit. L. Robert per litt.’ If this argument is, as we believe, baseless, it will be possible to revert to Kirchner's original dating.

131 The plan Fig. 5 was fixed where possible by compass intersections from the corners of the citadel, but the steep convex slopes made a complete system of intersections impossible; some details of the intermediate perimeter and the position of the vaulted tomb have been added from a freehand plan drawn by Mr. R. V. Nicholls in 1949.

206 The remains here are too slight to correspond to the fortified site remarked by Paton on a hilltop here (JHS XVI 200). This site was discovered by Paton in 1893 after Myres had gone away, but not investigated. In a letter, which Sir John Myres has kindly allowed us to quote, Paton referred to it as a ‘mountain fortress on the hill just above Budrum, on the S.W., with walls of seemingly great extent’, and in a subsequent letter he spoke of it as ‘on the hill above H. Georgios [at Kumbahçe], Boudroum’. We reconnoitred the mountain ridge here without finding any trace of a fortified site other than that mentioned above, but examined a hilltop a few hundred metres to the east of the crest ringed by a rocky escarpment which so closely resembles a fortification that we were certain while approaching it that it was the site noticed by Paton.

227 We understand that L. Robert in 1946 found a fragmentary inscription at Gökbel which may or may not be the same as our no. 67.

If we are in fact anticipating Professor Robert's publication, we offer our apologies.

228 Πισιδὶας is suspect. In ATL I 537, n. 5 it is proposed to read Μιλησὶας

229 This is in fact accepted in ATL I 538: see below n. 237. Mausolus did not merely attach the Lelegian towns to Halicarnassus as demes; he was concerned to man the great new city, and the bulk of the Lelegian population was certainly transferred there. The old sites ceased to be inhabited as townships, as is clear from the remains, though perhaps not all entirely deserted.

230 There were only eight Lelegian towns, but Pliny's towns are not stated to be Lelegian. Side, Medmassa, and Uranium might be claimed as non-Lelegian; Theangela (or at least Syangela) was Lelegian, but was left free by Mausolus.

231 For the site at Gökçeler see above pp. 123 ff. and below pp. 149 ff.

232 Cf. Jones, Cities of the Eastern Roman Provinces 32.

233 ATL I 536 says that ‘Alexander was incensed with Halicarnassus and indeed destroyed it after the siege; but he certainly restored it.’ We do not know on what authority this last statement is made. For the destruction, cf. p. 91 above.

234 Jones CERP 383, n. 7 suggests that ‘the missing sixth city is perhaps Termera’.

235 Normally, libera is either obelised or made to apply (contrary to practice) to Bargylia.

236 Whether the error in Pliny is due to his own carelessness or to a faulty manuscript tradition, we are not concerned to decide. The corruption, in all MSS. but one, of Theangela to Thagela may perhaps help to explain the mistake.

237 It is observed in ATL I 552, n. 2 that Pliny's authority for his six cities cannot have been Callisthenes, who would have said Syangela, not Theangela. The substitution of Termera for Theangela obviates this difficulty also. We note further that the editors of ATL are hard put to it (ibid. 538) to find names for the cities synoecised by Mausolus other than those in Pliny's list, and are driven to include Cindya and even Halicarnassus itself. We cannot agree that this last is implied by Strabo's τὰς ἒξ . . . εὶς μὶαν though the words might conceivably be so interpreted. Halicarnassus cannot have ranked as a Lelegian city in the fourth century. As for Cindya, the evidence suggests that it was absorbed by Bargylia, not by Halicarnassus; see Polybius XVI 12, where Artemis Cindyas is a goddess of Bargylia. This absorption is in fact accepted in ATL I 474, 503, 538; cf. Jones, CERP 50, 388.

238 This distance is in fact such that no inhabitant could be too far from the nearest city to ride or walk in with reasonable convenience to exercise his civic functions. Mausolus' cities—Myndus, Halicarnassus, Theangela, Bargylia–Cindya, Mylasa—are remarkably evenly distributed over the countryside.

239 Pliny, NH V 107Google Scholar: Myndos et ubi fuit Palaemyndus; Steph. Byz. s.v. ῾Μὺνδος ᾿πὸλις Καρὶας . . .ὲστι καὶ πὸλις Καρὶας ἂλλη Παλαιὰ Μὺνδος

240 We see no reason why the memory of a Palaemyndus should be preserved if its site was the same as that of the familiar city. For this reason (among others) we cannot agree with the suggestion in ATL I 522 that Old Myndus was on the peninsula which closes the harbour at Gümüşlük. For the much-quoted polygonal wall on this peninsula see above pp. 110 f.; even if it be accepted as of Lelegian date, its position is quite unsuited to the defence of a settlement on the peninsula itself. Running down the backbone of the hill, it is intelligible only as the extremity of a larger circuit such as that actually standing on the mainland. Its situation is exactly comparable to that of the wall over the western extension of the acropolis hill at Caunus; see JHS LXXIII (1953), 12, fig. 3.

241 The site at Burgaz might also claim consideration; but the expression Μὺνδιοι παοἀ Τὲρμερα in the tribute lists is then less intelligible, with the town at Bozdağ intervening.

242 Their non-Lelegian character was noted by Judeich, (AM XII (1887), 335)Google Scholar in his description of the walls; Robert, Coll. Froehn. 85 n. 2, quotes Judeich and adds: ‘il me semble que l'appareil des monuments de Theangela est celui des monuments Cariens de la presqu'île d'Halikarnasse … et d'Alazeitin’. This comment holds good for certain of the buildings inside the city, and in a modified degree for the circuit walls also.

243 Against Judeich's late Hellenistic dating Robert, op. cit. 85, notes that the walls were no doubt standing in the late fourth century, when the city withstood a siege by Eupolemus. In the treaty between Eupolemus and Theangela (Coll. Froehn. no. 52) it is provided that Eupolemus shall eventually take over τὴμ πὸλιν καὶ τὰς ἂκρας Robert, ibid. 81–6, understands ‘the city and the citadels’, identifying the latter with the two peaks A and B. This seems to us mistaken. Πὸλις of course, often denotes the lower, inhabited city as opposed to the fortified acropolis; but at Theangela, as Robert himself emphasises (ibid. 82), there was no such lower city; the whole city was evidently within the walls. There is therefore no point in mentioning the two peaks unless they were separately fortified as inner citadels, a question which Robert does not consider. The mere fact that the mountain rises to a double summit is obviously not enough. We saw no evidence of such fortification on A; on the west side of B there is a stretch of wall which might perhaps be so interpreted, and in fact a more recent examination (see p. 171 n. 359) shows that there was a definite inner circuit defending this peak. If B was so fortified, it was doubtless included among the ἂκραι but the points on the site which are most clearly denoted by the term are surely the forts on the subsidiary peaks C and D. The meaning is that no Theangelan garrison shall be maintained in the city after Eupolemus takes over, a point well deserving mention in the treaty; but to provide for his occupying the city, including the double mountain-top, is plainly futile. An exact parallel is afforded in Arrian's account of the siege of Halicarnassus (I 23, 3), where the defenders retire to the fortified posts at the extremities of the city: αὺτῶν δὲ οΙ μὲν ὲς τὴν ὰκραν τὴν ὲν τῆ νὴσω ὰπεΧὼρησαν οὶ δὲ ὲς τὴν Σαλμακὶδα ὰκραν οῦτω καλουμὲνην

244 In particular those illustrated by Robert in Coll. Froehn. pls. XXVII d, XXVIII h, and in RA 1935 II 162, no. 10, and the house described above, p. 114.

245 The absence of recognisable Roman remains of any kind suggests that under the Empire the inhabitants moved their living-quarters down to the plain—a very understandable proceeding, in view of the arduous ascent to the mountain-top.

246 Callisthenes, writing c. 330 B.C., still uses the form Syangela; but he is speaking of the Mausolan synoecism and would naturally use the name appropriate at that date: it would be incongruous to speak of Mausolus preserving Theangela. In any case (as may be seen in Turkey to-day) the new name would take time to become generally recognised. There is no epigraphical reference to Syangela that need be later than Mausolus: Σφαγγειλαῖος in an inscription of Oropus, (AE 1917, 231Google Scholar, Robert, Coll. Froehn. 94, no. 17) is dated to the fourth century, before 338. Conversely, the earliest epigraphical mention of Theangela is in the Eupolemus inscription, which is supposed to date c. 315 B.C.

247 For Pliny's, notice (NH V 107) see above pp. 143 f.Google Scholar

248 The site at Aspat (above, p. 129) shows no evidence of occupation before Christian times, and is not a serious rival candidate. The allusion in ATL I 522 to ‘the modern town of Assarlik’ is an error: Asarlik is the name given to the ancient site, which is now quite deserted.

249 For the evidence from pottery of occupation at the end of prehistoric times see p. 118.

250 He is mentioned again in Her. VII 98.

251 See Mr. Threpsiades' communication in the current reports from Greece for the year 1953, esp. AJA 1954, 231, pl. 43, 2.

252 We infer this from the termination -ικὸν which must apparently refer to something other, or more, than the city of Termera: cf. such inscriptions as συμμαΧικὸυ ᾿Ολυμπικὸν ὰρΧιερατικὸν

253 Or identical with the latter, if the later dating of the coin, now abandoned, is right.

254 The decline in prosperity from this time on, suggested by the sherds at Asarlik (above, pp. 117 f.), may have been a consequence of this break-up.

255 The union under Tymnes paid in the name of Γερμερῆςν Similarly, Syangela under Pigres pays generally as Συαγγελῆς

257 This is the view taken by Head, op. cit.

258 The explanation of the proverbial Τερμὲρια κακὰ seems to be uncertain. Suidas' account, which refers it to the sufferings due to the banditry practised by the Termerans, is apparently confirmed by Philip of Theangela and by Photius s.v., who attribute the practice to the eponymous founder Termerus. (The passages are quoted in FHG IV 475.) But a different explanation is given by Plutarch, Thes. II, who makes it equivalent to ‘being paid in one's own coin’ or ‘given a dose of one's own medicine’: ῾Ηρακλῆς τὸν Τὲρμερου συρρὴξας τὴν κεφαλὴν ὰπὲκτεινεν. ὰφ᾿ οὺδὴ τὸ Τερμὲριου κακὸν ὸνομασ- θῆναι λὲγουσι παὶων γὰρ, γὰρ, ὼς ὲοικε, κεφαλῆ τοὺς ὲντυγχὰνοντας ὸ Τὲρμερος ὰπὼλλυεν (Not merely ‘a misfortune one brings on oneself’, as LS9s.v., where, moreover, the more usual explanation is disregarded.)

263 Prokesch, , Denkwürdigkeiten III 441 (c. 1827)Google Scholar, gives the form Pedess, the Admiralty Chart Petasa.

264 Though Ruge in RE allows it only ‘a certain probability’. Earlier locations of this ‘Halicarnassian’ Pedasa at Etrim or at Karacahisar no longer need refutation, as these sites are securely assigned respectively to Theangela (above, p. 112) and Hydissus (Robert, , AJA XXXIX (1935), 339).Google Scholar

265 We take little account of the variant forms Pedasa, Pedason, Pidasa, which are to all appearances interchangeable. St. Byz. s.v. ῾Πὴγασα᾿ strangely insists that the name should be spelt with a gamma.

267 Her. VI 20: τἀ δὲ ὺπερὰκρια ἒδοσαν Καρσὶ Πηδας εῦσι ὲκτῆσθαι

268 The Persian motive was perhaps to divide and so weaken a people who had given them serious trouble in the past (Her. I 175: for V 121 see below).

269 Herodotus does not distinguish Carians and Lelegians (cf. I 171).

270 He might have been provoked by the Milesian intervention at Labraunda to turn against Miletus, but it seems to us quite clear from Herodotus' words that this is excluded. To take the road to the east would be to abandon the expedition with its object unachieved; the opposition was by no means yet suppressed, as the event showed.

271 The total absence of running water in this region, combined with the mountainous nature of the country, would make a camping site practically impossible to find. We have assumed that the road taken by the Persians followed roughly the course of the modern chaussée; if instead they attempted the road along the coast from Siralik to Torba (above, p. 131), the success of the ambush is even easier to understand.

272 Since Herodotus (VIII 104) calls the city Πὴδασα we should be inclined to read ὲπὶ <Πη> δὰσοισι in the text of V 121, but certainty is impossible.

273 With the proviso that the half-talent assessment in 425 may relate to Gökçeler.

274 Side was not assessed, nor apparently Telmissus.

275 Pigres, probably of Syangela, at Salamis (above, p. 114); Myndian ship in the Persian fleet (Her. V 33). For Madnasa, see below, p. 155. Termera also continued to pay her reduced tribute, and she too had a captain in the Persian fleet (Her. V 37).

276 Εῦρωμον δὲ καὶ Πὴδασα καὶ Βαργὺλια καὶ τὴν ᾿Ιασὲων πὸλιν (also Abydos, Thasos, Myrina, and Perinthus) ὲλευθὲρας ἀφεὶναι τὰς φρουρὰς ὲξ αὺτῶν μεταστησὰμενον Cf. Livy XXXIII 30.

277 Of the various forms attested—Telmissus, Telmessus, Telemessus—we have chosen the first as having the authority of the only strictly local inscription; but the choice has no significance, and in particular the form of the name can never, it seems, be used to distinguish the Carian and Lycian cities.

278 ATL I 554, ‘in situ near Pelen’ refers presumably to the reported provenience of the stone as learned by Paton: see below. We have not ourselves seen this stone.

279 In l. 15 of this inscription, ὰποκατὲστησε τῶι θεῶι τὴν Χὼραν ὲξῆς ῶστε [θ]υσὶας καὶ τιμὰς τῶι ᾿Απὸλλωνι συμβὲβηκεν ὲπιτελεῖσθαι we do not understand ὲξῆς and wonder if the true reading be not ὲξ ὴς (τὰ) ς τε [θ]υαὶας κτλ In l. 23, [ὰπο- δειλιῶν] is wrongly restored; [δεικνὺμενος] or something similar is required.

280 ATL I 554: once before Λὺκιοι καὶ συν(τελεὶς) once between Phaselis and Calynda. Telmessus, though of Lycian origin, seems to have held aloof from the rest of Lycia at least until the middle of the fourth century (Theopompus, , FGrH. 115, F 103Google Scholar), so might well be separately assessed.

281 It is true that the Lycian Telmessus was near the border of Caria and Lycia; but this border was an important one, since Lycia was at this time still independent, whereas Caria was part of a Roman province—a province, moreover, governed by Cicero's brother, to whom the description is not improbably due. The mistake would be the more reprehensible since Telmessus is taken as an outstanding example of a faculty common to all the Carians. For Ruge's second reason for supposing Caria to be an error here, see below in connection with the Karadağ site.

282 Or the later koinon, if Ruge be right in supposing Arrian's account to be of late origin.

283 Neither Cicero nor Arrian makes any mention of Apollo, for whom at Telmissus the two inscriptions and the coin are the only evidence. In Cicero's case this is natural, as he is concerned to give a rational explanation of the Carians' powers of divination: having these rich lands, in which many strange things are liable to germinate, they are familiar with the phenomena of nature. In general, it seems that the Telmissians' divinatory faculties made more impression in antiquity than the oracular powers of Apollo.

293 The change to λιμὴν involves the further alteration of ταὺτη e.g. ὸμὼνυμος ταὺτην ῶκουν Koraes; ὸμὼνυμος τοὺτῳ ὴν ᾢκουν Müller (Didot 1877); Meineke's Teubner text (following the Vatican epitome) omits ταὺτῃ ATL loc. cit. follows Meineke. Newton points out that all MSS. of Strabo and Steph. Byz. have λὶμνη (Halicarnassus II 599), and Chandler does not seem to have questioned the reading λὶμνη.

296 ATL loc. cit. accepts Jacoby's conjecture πὸλις καὶ λιμ <ὴν καὶ> νῆ <σος> ὸμὼνυμος

297 In the face of this evidence, it is strange that scholars (including even so good a judge as Robert, : see Rev. Phil. LXII (1936), 283)Google Scholar should so often have sought the classical Caryanda on the Carian mainland. R. Kiepert's suggestion in FOA VIII, Text 7, that the Caryandans may have had country houses and farms on the island, and that the name of the city was eventually transmitted to the island, seems an almost exact inversion of the actual course of events. ATL loc. cit. rightly insists on an island site, but leaves the evidence for a mainland site (Strabo, Mela, Pliny) in the air.

298 He calls it a city, urbs; this is no doubt a mere assumption on his part: he would know there was at one time a city: there is no trace elsewhere of a city of Caryanda in Hellenistic or later times. Incidentally, it is perhaps not certain that Mela mentions Caryanda at all; it would presumably be possible to read 〈N〉aruanda, corresponding to Pliny's Nariandos. Stephanus' account is confused: see below n. 300.

299 The only reason offered (to our knowledge) for changing to λιμὴν is the mention of a harbour by Ps.-Scylax (see Kramer's note ad loc.), but this is clearly wrong-headed: Strabo's λὶμνη is expressly distinguished from the island recorded by Ps.-Scylax.

300 Strabo, loc. cit., Mela, loc. cit., Pliny V 107. Stephanus' evidence is neither one thing nor the other; he seems to have taken his facts from a variety of sources, and he certainly did not realise that two sites were in question. He has consulted Hecataeus; λὶμνη ὸμὼνυμος is apparently from Strabo; πὸλις may be his own invention or may be from Ps.-Scylax or Mela; πλησὶον Μὺνδου καὶ Κῶ might be from Hecataeus, as suggested in ATL I 498, but need not be so; both names may be taken from the extant authorities quoted above.

302 This settlement at Lower Göl has, of course, no connection with the Lelegian site on the hill above, but was centred on the low ground by the shore, where later a considerable Byzantine town grew up. The Lelegian city at Göl was identified with Caryanda by Paton and Myres on the strength chiefly of a coin of Caryanda found on the shore close by (JHS XIV 375 f.). This identification (which has met with considerable approval, e.g. from Head, HN 2 612, Robert, , Rev. Phil. 1936, 283Google Scholar, Coll. Froehn. 84 n. 2) is in our view out of the question; first, because an island site is absolutely demanded for the early Caryanda (so ATL loc. cit.), and second, because the city at Göl is clearly one of the synoecised Lelegian towns, whereas Caryanda was not among the eight names recorded, as we believe, by Callisthenes, and is shown to have survived the synoecism by its mention in Ps.-Scylax (see above, p. 145). The lake lends no support, being connected in the authorities only with the later Caryanda. The coin is too portable an object to be relied on in isolation, but may well have come across with the settlers from the island.

303 It is mentioned by the Turkish traveller Evliya Çelebi in the seventeenth century, who speaks of gardens and orchards and a considerable population dwelling around. We are indebted for this information to the Educational Officer at Bodrum, Bay Necati Çavdar; we have not ourselves seen this lake, nor do we know its exact location. It seems certain that there is no other lake whatsoever in the region in question except that at Göl.

The reading MYN is said to be ‘not quite certain’, though it appears perfectly clear in the photograph. ΚΟΛΒΑ is supposed to represent a magistrate's name: Colbasa in Pisidia struck coins under the middle Empire, but it has never, so far as we know, been suggested that our coin may belong to it.

305 Unless the text be altered; see above, n. 296.

306 See ATL I. Caryanda is next to Madnasa in lists 3, 12, 13, 23, and next but one in list 5; only in list 12 is it anywhere near Myndus.

307 We take it that λιμὴν in Ps.-Scylax means no more than a decent anchorage, not necessarily harbour-works: for a periplus this would be the essential information; but he is not consistent in mentioning or omitting this item. Konel is a very rocky island, and not easy to land on except in the early morning calm; if it can be said to have a λιμὴν, the term virtually ceases to have any meaning.

308 On this point see below, p. 163.

309 SIG 3 1044, 1. 18.

310 The statement in JHS XIV 375 that ‘the ancient name of Tarandos was certainly Taramptos, for which there is no alternative site’ (our italics) seems strangely inaccurate; if Taramptos is not Tarandos, it may have been anywhere on the whole peninsula not unduly far from Halicarnassus. It may in fact have been no more than a farm.

311 Tára(m)p might easily, with the help of a simple Turkicism, have finally become Torba (‘Bag’); other forms quoted are Durvanda, and Trupada, (Med, Pilot 5 IV (1918), 366)Google Scholar, of which the second (?= Turpada, ‘Turnip Island’) could well be corrupted from Taramptos.

312 So indeed it is taken to be in ATL III 210 f. (‘by apotaxis from Bargylia’). We hesitate to attach significance to the ‘Karandakia Rocks’ south of Salihadasi and close to Siralik (Admira name has any genuine historical basis.

314 Her. 1. 173, where Termilae is recorded as the old name of the Lycians, without reference to Termera. Stephanus knows Τρεμὶλη as a name for Lycia.

315 Except that Telmera is a variant reading for Termera in Pliny, , NH V 107Google Scholar. If a name must be found for Dirmil, Pliny's Nariandos is available, but there is no positive evidence for an identification. Nariandos seems to be otherwise unknown; for the Ναρυανδει̑ς in the neighbourhood of Stratoniceia see Robert, Ét. Anat. 569.

316 The modern port is Küllük.

317 The figure Κ′ is also wrong; as pointed out in GGM loc. cit. and in ATL I 506 n. 1, the correct figure 80 is recorded by Pausanias VIII 10, 4.

This passage of the Stadiasmus is full of difficulty. The MS. has (according to Müller's notes): 288, ὰπὸ Βαρβυλὶων εὶς ᾿Ιας ὸν στὰδιοι σκ᾿ (? measured by following the ancient coast all round the ‘Little Sea’; the direct crossing is barely 50 stades): 289, ἀπὸ ᾿Ιασοῦ ὲπ`ἀκρωτὴριον Ποσεὶδιον στὰδιοι ρκ᾿ (really about 220): 290, ὰπὸ ᾿Ιασοῦ εὶς τὴν ᾿Ακρὶταν στὰδιοι σμ`; 291, οὶκεῖται κατὲναντι Πὰσσαλα πηγὴ κτλ. As a connected passage this will not hang together. If Acrita is Agathemerus' Arcitis, the modern Arki east of Patmos, the figure 240 stades from Iasus is little more than half the true distance; Müller accordingly reads Ποσειδὶου for ᾿Ιασοῦ in 290, but believes that this section is a later addition. We strongly suspect the same of 291, for the following reasons. (1) If Passala the port of Mylasa was mentioned in the original text, it should have come between Bargylia and Iasus. (2) Notes of this kind are unusual in this part of the Stadiasmus, which consists in general of a mere list of places and distances. (3) If we suppose a reader's marginal note, illegible handwriting will explain the corruption. (4) Such a note will also account for the abbreviation σταδ.; elsewhere in this passage στὰδιοι is written in full. If 290 and 291 are omitted, the catalogue proceeds in straightforward fashion, Bargylia—Iasus—C. Poseidion—Panormus—Miletus. But even if added later, the note is not for that reason devoid of all value; it is a confirmation of Stephanus' note on Passala. In this case the corruption must apparently extend to πηγὴ, which can hardly be right; if a correction must be found, we are tempted to suggest <καὶ ναυ> τὴγια. Other explanations of the passage are possible, but hardly attractive. E.g. Passala might be identified with Pliny's island and placed in the neighbourhood of Acrita; the rest of 291 is then a confusion with Stephanus' Passala, the port of Mylasa. But the drawbacks to this are obvious.

318 It is identified by Meineke, ad loc., most unconvincingly, with Patara in Lycia.

319 Aemyndus is very likely to be corrupt; it has a peculiarly unconvincing look. We cannot, however, approve the suggestion there made to suppose a lacuna and read, e.g. Lamps〈imandus; inde sinus Iasicus et in continent〉e Myndus; it is surely unlikely that Pliny would interrupt his catalogue of islands to name a city on the mainland which he has already recorded in its proper place, unless for some special purpose. We see no such purpose here.

320 It is observed in ATL I 522 that no cape west of Petra can be described as opposite Kumburnu; we do not understand this, and suspect that ‘east of Petra’ was intended.

321 Fenerburnu is regarded in the Mediterranean Pilot as the north-west entrance-point to the Cos Channel, Kocaburun as the north-eastern entrance point.

322 Kiepert interpreted the name Astypalaea as ‘Erniedrigung’ (from the Phoenician), with reference to the low isthmus between the lofty cape and the high ground on the mainland; this description would apply equally to the cape south of Myndus but not (as Ruge supposed) to Sağiralaca, which is flat and featureless.

223 The relative positions are then more or less correct, but the compass-points are turned through an angle of about 90°.

327 Of the upsilon in l. 112 nothing is now to be seen on the stone.

328 See above, p. 161. There are in fact no islands at the head of the gulf; Crusa is supposed in ATL to have been, like Passala, absorbed since antiquity by the alluvial advance of the coast-line. If Taramptos is Salihadasi, the largest island in the Iasian Gulf, and if Pliny's list extends to the head of this gulf, it is curious that Taramptos is not named in it.

The earlier suggestion [Σ]ὺμπ̣[ρ̣α] (see ATL I 553), i.e. Symbra in western Lycia (see most recently JHS LXXIII (1953), 26), is naturally no longer maintained.

332 The first preserved letter in l. 115 might be gamma or delta equally with alpha.

335 Nariandos is available, or another of Pliny's islands; Side may have been assessed for the first time. In I. 112 it seems that the bottom extremity of an upright stroke was formerly visible in the third place; [Πὰ]τͅ[αλος ] or perhaps [Να]ρͅ[ιανδῆς ] would meet the requirements.

338 F. P. Johnson has justly drawn attention to the startling resemblance (which cannot be explained solely by similar physical and geological conditions) between the Lelegian architecture here and the Dryopian constructions at Styra and on Okha, Mt. in Southern Euboea (AJA 1925, 398 ff.)Google Scholar; the Hellenistic date that he there suggests for the houses at Alâzeytin hardly seems tenable, however. In addition to similar wall construction, roofing, and doors the Styra dragon house also has loophole windows near the lower corners of the two long rooms (cf. the farmhouse near Bodrum, pp. 132 f.). There can be no doubt that these monuments on the Halicarnassus peninsula were among the ruins attributed by Strabo to the Leleges (VII 321, XIII 611); but Strabo's assertion that the Lelegian monuments were encountered all over Caria, and house ruins at least in the Milesia as well, does not entirely accord with the distinctive character of the architectural remains on the Halicarnassus peninsula.

Despite the superficial differences, we find it impossible to believe that the two illustrations have not come from one negative. The photograph shows what appears to be the thick part of the ring of a compound tumulus; and in Guidi's print (where the background is printed stronger) it is evidently situated on a hill slope high above a valley. Guidi's description bears no relation to the construction illustrated, and he is clearly mistaken in his identification of the photograph; Maiuri's location could fit the surroundings, and the position near Alâzeytin may therefore be accepted.

354 To this general statement an exception must be made in the case of the site on Karadağ, which possesses no arable territory at all and has no modern counterpart; its occupants must have lived by pasture alone. The site at Göl, which we equate with Madnasa, commands a certain area of good land by the shore and lake, but it is impossible to doubt that its inhabitants, like their modern successors, were largely interested in the sea.
