CHAPTER XII.

EXCAVATIONS IN THE ANCIENT CEMETERIES,
BITORUM.

Eastern Cemetery :—Tombs at Kislalik ; their classification. Fic-
tile vases and coins found in sori; attribution and probable
date of those coins ; sepulchral pithi of red clay; inscribed
stele; graves near house of Khodja Mehemet ; sepulchral in-
scription ; fragments of flageolet. Western Cemetery :—Tombs
near church of Hagios Georgios ; sepulchral inscriptions; rock
tombs south of Caplan Calessy.

During- the spring of 1855 I remained for about
six weeks at Budmm, and took that opportunity of
partially exploring the two cemeteries, which, as
has already been stated, lie east and west of the
city walls.

The part of the eastern cemetery where I com-
menced operations is called Kislalik. Here the
course of the ancient road to Mylasa may be dis-
tinctly traced by a row of square basements of
tombs on which modern Turkish houses are built,
and which lie immediately to the east of the water-
course marked in Plate I. • These basements are
either built of blocks of grey marble or faced with
such blocks. There are generally two small door-
ways in the front, which lead into a small vaulted
chamber. Several Greek inscriptions are built
