But few remains of Greek antiquity are to be found at Philo-
melium ; but, on the other hand, the traveller is surprised by some
Seldjuk ruins of exquisite beauty. The accurate workmanship dis-
played, even in the execution of details, will compare favorably with
Greek buildings of a good period.
At Ak Shehir I was joined, as had been previously arranged, by
my friend, Professor J. H. Haynes, then of Robert College, Con-
stantinople, now of the Central Turkey College, Aintab, Syria. Mr.
Haynes accompanied me as photographer during the rest of the
journey. My travelling-outfit had been left at Smyrna, and I had
not fared well thus far. The advent of Mr. Haynes and the outfit
was hailed with delight; for henceforward we could have substantial
food, on which depends in great measure the success of an expedition
like this.
June 21. Ak Shehir to Engilli, i h. 24 m. From Ak Shehir my
route lay along the foot of Sultan Dagh in a southeasterly direction to
Daghan Hissar. This region is very populous, and what is a blank
mountainous space on the old maps is in reality a plain full of pros-
perous villages (see the large map in Vol. III. of the Papers of the
American School at Athens').
June 23. Engilli to Daghan Hissar, 5 h. 5 m. My route lay
along the foot of Sultan Dagh, and is indicated by the red line on
the map. I found no inscriptions in the villages between Engilli and
Kara Agha, but the topographical results were abundant.
