PREFACE.

The expenses of the journey in Asia Minor, the results of which
are contained in this volume, were borne by myself, with the excep-
tion of one hundred and fifty dollars, which were contributed by
gentlemen in Boston.

The inscriptions in whose headings no reference is made to a
previous publication are new. Those in whose headings reference
is made to some publication have been published before, but with
inaccuracies.

The square brackets [ ] mean that what is inclosed between them
was originally on the stone, but having become defaced has been
supplied by me. The round brackets () mean that what is inclosed
between them was never on the stone, i.e. either that the word
was abbreviated on the stone and has been written out in full, or
else that an error of the stonecutter has been corrected by me.
The broken brackets () mean that what is inclosed between them
is on the stone, but that it is redundant.

The following Turkish terms need explanation: —

Ak, white. Bitnar, a living Spring; see PuTtar.

Ashagha, lower. Bogliaz, literally a Throat, applied

Aghatch, a Tree. to defiles that lead up to a Pass

Bash, a Head. (Bel or Gcdik).

Bel, a Pass, generally low and broad; | Boyiik, large, big.

see Gedik. I Dagh, a Mountain.
