ANCIENT CEMETERIES, BUDRTTM. 341

mile to the south-east of this is a slope, on which,
in the spring of 185S, was discovered an oblong
chamber cut in the rock, parallel with the east
end of which was a wall of large limestone blocks,
running N.E. and S.W. This wall had been only
partially uncovered when I visited this spot. Ac-
cording; to the statement of the Greek who owned
the field, nothing but bones had been found in the
tomb.

Near this tomb, but a little higher up the slope,
were found,—

1. A cippus of white marble, ornamented with
bulls' heads and a sepulchral inscription, No. 75 of
Appendix. 2. A limestone base, 2' 8" by 12-J" by
1' 6," on which a statue must have stood. On this
base were inscribed the names of Tolmidas, the son
of Kleodamos, a native of Meliteia, in the Thes-
salian Pthiotis. (Appendix, No. 76.)

2. A thick slab of white marble, 2' 5" by 2' 1",
with a sepulchral inscription in elegiac verse, to
Myrton, the daughter of Jason, a Myndian. (Ap-
pendix, No. 77.)

On the opposite side of the bay, south of the rock
of Caplan Calessy, are a number of tombs cut in
the rock. I examined some of these, but found
that they had all long since been opened and
plundered.
