mentioned by Arrian (Anab. i. xxiii. 8) as holding his
satrapy between 335 and 333 b.c. He is, however, better
identified with Autophradates, a Persian Satrap of Lydia,
who may have had power at Xanthos between about 375
and 362 b.c.

Ann. dell' Inst., 1875, p. ICS. SchaiTs drawings of the reliefs,
including his versions of the inscriptions (not always trust-
worthy), are reproduced in Plates VI.-XII.
For the inscriptions see Savelsberg, Beitr'dge zur Entzifferung der
Lykischen Sprachdenkmaeler, II., p. 190, and refs. below. For
Orontobates, see Imbert, in Rev. Arch., 3rd S., XV., p. 129;

Mem. de la Soc. de Ihiijuistiquc de Paris, viii., p. 465. Suggestions
with respect to the reading of the inscriptions have been
communicated by Mr. W. Arkwright.
(Plate VI.) On the east side of the arched roof, as the
tomb was originally built, a chariot is drawn by four
gallopiing horses. A wing is attached to the chariot,
beside or apparently upon the wheels. The charioteer is
a youthful figure, with peaked helmet, leather cuirass,
tunic, and chlamys. The warrior who is stepping into
the chariot is a bearded figure, fully armed, with crested
helmet, with side flaps, cuirass over a tunic, greaves and
sandals. He has a large circular shield, and chlamys.
Towards the ends are the projecting heads and fore-
paws of two lions, symmetrically placed. A similar pair
occurs on the opposite side. Their intention is evidently
architectural (cf. vol. i., Nos. 83, 84), and they have no
relation to the subject represented, which is no doubt
the deceased hero in his chariot. Occasionally the
projection of the lions is much greater (compare the
sarcophagus of Dereimis and Aeschylos at Vienna—
Benndorf, Heroon, text, pi. 2).
