pro viribus votum solvit libens merito.

Chapter IV is founded solely on researches initiated by the Asia Minor Explora-
tion Fund in a district visited by several other travellers. In that district fifteen
cities, towns, and villages are now placed. Only one of these fifteen is mentioned
in Smith's Dictionary of Geography, or in Forbiger's Alte Geographic Through the
work of the Fund, the district has become our best source of information about
society in Phrygia unaffected by Greek civilization.
