PRE-IIELLENIC MONUMENTS 0F CAPPADOCIA
BY
Ramsay and Hogarth '
In the sumraer of 1890, tlie expédition sent out by the Asia Minor Exploration Fund,
consisting of ourselves and Mr. A. C. Headlam of Ail Soûls Collège, Oxford, discovered
or re-examined several pre-Hellenic Monuments in Cappadocia. We now publish pho-
tographs, drawings, and transcriptions of ail, even of those which hâve àppeàred already
elsewhere, in the hope that a comparison of our représentations with those of other
travellers may be of use to scholars.
We do not advance herewith any theory as to the origin of thèse monuments or
as to the interprétation of the symbols on them. We intend hereafter to explore as
thoroughly as possible eastern and northern Cappadocia \ and, for the présent, our object
is simply to state as plainly and accurately as we can the évidence which we bave
collected.
The monuments which are published here fall for the most part into twogroups,
1. the monuments of Tyana, Ivriz, and Bulgar Maden; 2. the rock-sculptures of Fraktin.
Some gênerai description of the two groups, and of the situation in which they are
found, may form aussful introduction to the study of the actual monuments. To thèse
are added inscriptions from Gauraina and Tyriaion.
1. - THE LOCALITIES.
1. Tuana, Dana, or Tyana3 (as ît is commonly spelt), strikes the traveller as one
of the two most remarkable ancient cities of Asia Minor, the other being Pteria (Boghaz
(1) Fart I. is writtcn mainly by Ramsay.
(2) This design bas been accomplished partially during tho summor of 1891, and we hope to publish shortly ■
sorue more important monuments, notably an obelisk from Izgin near Albistàn, and a statue with incised
iuscription from Palanga near Derendé. The discovery of the latter has caused us to defer for the présent a
Comparative Table of the incised chaiacters, and some remarks thereon, which we had designcd for the présent
article.
(3) Dana in Xenophon, Anab. I, 2, 20: Tuana or Twana is the most correct représentation of the soimd
which the Greeks hellenised as Tuava, and which appears in Ibn Khordàdhboh as Towàna.
