ENVIRONS OF CNIDUS. 525
remains. Continuing along the shore in an eastern
direction, we came to the Byzantine ruins marked
in the Map and Admiralty Chart.
On the road from Cnidus to Datscha, at the dis-
tance of four hours from the former, and four and
a half from the latter place, is a ravine called Dum
Galli.
In this ravine is an isolated mass of limestone
rock weighing, probahly, about 200 tons. A por-
tion of the face of this rock, about 5' square, is
wrought nearly smooth; and on it in letters 9"
long is inscribed the word HPfllOY, above which
a rude circle is incised. This inscription probably
extended further to the left, where the rock is
broken away. Prom the form of the £1, the date
of this inscription is, probably, not later than the
time of Alexander the Great.
East of this point I did not explore the pen-
insula ; but Lieutenant Smith, who paid several
visits to Datscha, the residence of the Aga of the
district, has embodied the following observations
in a lleport of one of bis tours :—
"About twenty miles from Cnidus, on the
northern shore of the Dorian Peninsula, is a
prominent point marked in the maps as Cape
Shuyun, and west of this is an open bay. The
part of the peninsula I traversed is that lying
between this bay and the larger one on the south
side, opposite the island of Symi. From the
first-mentioned bay, which may be called the Bay
of Karakoi, westward to Cape Krio, the moun-
tains are high and precipitous. Prom the Bay of
