CHAPTER XVIII.
ARCHITECTURE ; ROCKS, BUILDINGS, COTTAGES, GRANARIES.—TLOS.—
EOCK-TOMBS.—ANCIENT SCULPTURE.—MINABA, THE ANCIENT PINARA.
—EUINS.—BAS-RELIEPS IN TOMBS.—HABITS OP THE PEOPLE.
April 11th.—I am again much struck on entering this undis-
turbed district of Asia Minor, at witnessing the unchanged
customs of the people; everything tells of the ancient in-
habitants of two or three thousand years ago, whose mode
of life probably differed but little from that of the present
pastoral people.
The annexed Plate# will show the varieties of rock-archi-
tecture, and the one following, those in the built tombs
seen in Lyciaf. I have selected these from my sketches
made in the various cities, but placing them less thickly in
the rock than they are often seen in this country, and have
added figures referring to their several localities. The cot-
tage or hut is precisely a model for a temple; and the various
kinds (for all have the same character) suggest each some
form or order, whose peculiarity has become classic and
scientific: it is here only perpetuated, and not adopted, by
the present peasants.
* Nos. 1 and 6 at Araxa; 2, 3, and 4 at Telmessus ; 5 and 8 at Tlos;
7, 9, and 12 at Pinara; 10 between Limyra and Arycanda; and 11 at
Limyra.
+ Nos. 1 and 8 at Telmessus ; 2 and 5 at Cadyanda; 3 at Xanthus ;
4 and 6 at Sidyma ; 7 at Calynda; and 9 at Araxa.
