Both these tests probably belong to the second century after Christ,
and the utter want of Roman names, as contrasted with the inscription
of Mossyna (no. 33), is explained by the secluded position of Kodja-
Geuzlar, where they now lie. I passed over this country four times
before I found that such a village existed.
They are engraved on two very large stelai, adorned with elaborate
sculptures. The pediment of each stele shows Zeus standing in the
centre with sceptre in left hand and holding out the right hand. To
the left is Fortune of the Roman type with the rudder, and further to
the left a quadriga in which stands the sun-god with radiated head.
On the right is Hermes standing with caduceus in left and purse in
right hand, and further to the right a car drawn by two oxen: the
person who stood in this car is hopelessly defaced in both stelai. Both
the ox-car and the quadriga are turned towards the centre. In the
older stele, which is more rudely carved, the first group of the inscription
is engraved below the pediment in several lines, irregularly: in the later
stele, the first group is engraved in two lines along the top of the
pediment. Each name of the long list which follows the introductory
formula is written in two or three lines, and under the name the full-
length portrait is carved in relief. In each stele there are therefore
three rows of portraits, each row containing eight figures: all the
portraits are exactly the same, except that some are bearded, others
beardless: all stand, facing, with left hand hanging by the side and
right hand appearing between the folds of the himation on the breast.
