612 EXCURSIONS IN CARTA.
8^ miles, and situated in the mountains over which
lay the route from Mylasa to Alabanda. As far
as Labranda there was a pave! road, which led to
the temple of Zeus Stratios, and was hence called
the Sacred Way.
Colonel Leake, in his " Asia Minor," pp. 230—
231<, after fixing the position of Alabanda at Arab
Ilissar, gives it as his opinion that " the vestiges
of Labranda will hereafter be found on the moun-
tain to the north-eastward of Mylasa."
On bis return from Lagina Lieut. Smith halted
at Mylasa for the purpose of exploring the site of
Labranda; and, guided by the indications fur-
nished by Leake and by local information, suc-
ceeded in finding bis way to this spot, which,
however, had been previously visited by Lebas,
and also by M. Prokesch von Osten.1"
The following is Lieut. Smith's account of this
excursion:—
" Accompanied by one of the Turks who had
come with me from Budrum, I went to Gargejck, a
village in the mountains to the north of Mylasa, in
the expectation of finding some one who might know
of any ancient remains in that range of mountains.
The village, however, was deserted, except by two
children, who said that, if we went two hours farther
up the mountain to a small village called Kodja
Yailih, we should find some people who might be
able to tell us what we wanted. We went, and
there found the very remains I was looking for.
