This important inscription has been commented
upon by many scholars, but no general agreement
has been arrived at as to its meaning I will how-
ever only refer to the different views that have been

proposed so far as is necessary in stating my own
explanation. I must first notice some epigraphic
and dialectic peculiarities. We find four times (lines
2, 6, and 16—comp, my remarks to 1. 7) the symbol
T, which we see from the inscription itself was con-
sidered as an equivalent of σσ (comp. 1. 2 with
lines 40 and 41 and see Rud. Krause, de Panyasside,
Dissert. Goetting. 1891, p. 7 foil.). It is used only
once in the name of the Halikarnassians, and its place
is twice usurped by σ<τ, whence it may be inferred that
the symbol T was going out of use. It has been
rightly observed, that this symbol occurs only in
proper names of a non-Hellenic character ; and this
also is true of its use on coins of the Thracian town
Mesembria, where it afterwards gave way to a simple
σ. I should not like to lay too much stress on its
occurrence in the word θαλάττης at Teos (see Roehl,
Inscr. Gr. Ant. No. 497) since the only authority
for that is a copy made in the last century. On this
letter see W- Larfeld, Gr. Epigraphik (in Handbk.
der Klass, Alterthumswissensch. I2, p. 510).
Throughout this inscription the O has a dot in the
middle like the O, and the same peculiarity occurs
in the Ώ of the last five lines. It will be seen from
Roehl (Inscr. Gr. Antiquissim.) that this O with a dot
in the middle was used in various parts of Greece in
very ancient times. There was no danger of con-
fusion until the letter Θ came to assume the same
form. But even after that the O with a dot in the
middle was retained, as in our inscription, to a wider
extent than is generally known. (C. Keil, Jahrb. f.
Philol. und Paedag. Suppl. vol. ii, p. 369 and p. 385,
note 38.) We may add some instances from Athens
and Attika (see Athen. Mitth. ix, p. 389, Άθήναιον,
vii, p. 369); from Elateia (see Bull, de Corr. Hell,
vol. x, p. 367, No. 9, where Π also is dotted, and vol.
xi, p. 326,No. 3); from Heraia (see Athen. Mitth. vii,
p. 377 on an iron coin) ; from Mytilene (see Conze,
Lesbos, pl. vi, 1); from Assos (American Papers,
vol. i, p. 5, No. iii); from Halikarnassos, see below
No. dccccii; from Olbia (Latyschev, Inscr. Ant.
Orae Septentr. Ponti Euxini, Nos. 8 and 120); and
from Kroton, on an archaic coin (Brit. Mus. Cat. of
