1. ι. The number of letters in this line is not
absolutely certain, but it is highly probable that they
are as restored.
Pixodaros was satrap of Caria 340-334 b. c. He
was the youngest son of Hekatomnos and brother of
Mausollos. For the name cf. A. C. H. xxvi, p. 280,
1. 5, from Delphi, and for his coins see B. M. Coins
of Caria, Pl. xxviii. 9 ff., p. lxxxiii f.; Head, Hist.
Num A, p. 630. For his succession to the throne,
after the expulsion of his sister Ada, see Diod. xvi.
74. Cf. the relief from Tegea, No. 950.
1. 2. Xanthos, Tlos, Pinara, and Ka(n)dyanda.
These are four towns in the Xanthos valley, which
appear to have been in friendly relations with Pixo-
daros. Kalinka explains Kandayda as an older form
of Kandyanda. Mr. Hill suggests ΚΑΝΔΥΒΕΟΙΣ, but
a Δ seems certainly indicated as the second letter
in 1. 3. There is also a probable reference to the
Carian town Kaunos in 1. 8. Kalinka, loc. cit., sug-
gests that Pixodaros was in alliance with the four
Lycian towns named against Kaunos. Cf. No. 969.
1. nf. It is possible that the end of 1. 10 should
be restored [Atbs* Παν-], as Imbert suggests, but this
cannot be regarded as certain.
Imbert (Le Musdon, ix, p. 494) says : ‘ Le texte
lycien dit sans doute la meme chose que le grec ’.
