Inst. 1901 iv. in—125 figs. 160—163 replies that Strabon's distances are regularly con-
secutive, not cumulative. Hence Gargaros must be placed further east in the vicinity of
Tschibne, and Palaia Gargaros should be identified with a ruined stronghold on Odjak
Kaya, the most westerly summit of the Dikeli Bagh, which rises immediately behind
Tschibne to a height of 780™. Palaia Gargaros (wrongly equated by Clarke with Lamp-
oneia) was visited by E. Fabricius, who reports that it has terrace-walls of 'Cyclopean'

masonry well adapted for the erection of houses and an elliptical akropolis enclosed by a
ring-wall (now c. im high, c. 3™ thick) some 500111 round. On the west side of this wall is
a gateway (2-35m wide) with a square tower. Within, the akropolis is divided by another
wall into two unequal parts. In the southern and smaller part, on the highest point of the
mountain, are the foundations of a big building, probably a temple. The fragments visible
are all of pre-Hellenistic date. When Palaia Gargaros was abandoned, the inhabitants of
the new town found it difficult to keep up the cult on the mountain-top and chose a new
site for their worship on the southern point of the neighbouring hill Adatepe (c. 260111).
