24 HISTORY 03? CARIA.

According to the tradition preserved by Suidas,
the historian, in consequence of the tyranny of
Lygclamis, quitted Halicarnassus, emigrating to
Samos, where he wrote his history.11

Panyasis, the epic poet, who belonged to one of
the noblest families in Halicarnassus, is said to have
been put to death by Lygdamis, about the time
when Herodotus, to whom he was related, first
withdrew to Samos.v The date of this event, accord-
ing to Clinton/ was probably B.C. 457.

In the inscription to which I have already re-
ferred as containing a mention of the people of
Salmacis, in association with those of Halicarnassus,
we find the names of Lygdamis, of Apolonides, the
son of Lygdamis, and of Phormion, the son of
Panyasis.

Reference is made to a law passed during the
period when Apolonides filled the office of Mnemon,
or recorder, for the Halicarnassians; and when
Phormion was, in like manner, Mnemon for the
people of Salmacis. The name of Lygdamis occurs
in the second line of the inscription thus :—•
