51

On the horizontal band above the subject is the Lycian
inscription (p. 50), which is read :—

P]ayava : maiialc[in~\a : prn\na]vata -.prnnava : abqnnq.
' Payava built this monument.'

Fellows, Journal, p. 230; Travels, p. 171. 'Since the above sketch
was made, and prior to the removal of the tomb to England,
several of the heads of this group were broken off' (Fellows,
ibidem); Sharpe in Fellows' Lycia, p. 491; Michaelis, Annali
dell' Inst., 1875, p. 168 ; Savelsberg, Bcitrwjc, II., p. 192.

6. (Plate X.) Short side (north). A venerable figure,
bearded, long-haired, and draped in himation, stands with
the right arm raised. Probably the hand, now lost, was
placing a wreath on the head of a nude athletic youth
who stands to the front.

Fellows, Lycia, pi. facing p. 166.

7. (Plate XI.) Second long side (west). A Persian figure
is seated to the right; ho wears a long-sleeved tunic girt
at the waist, a Persian caj) and a mantle, and has a sheathed
dagger by the right thigh, according to the Persian habit
(Benndorf, Heroon, p. 238). He is seated on a stool
covered with a cloth, and having legs with knobs of a
common Persian form; his right hand is raised as if
stroking his beard. On the left an attendant stands
with his hands folded across his breast in Oriental
manner; he wears a sleeved tunic girt at the waist. On
the right are four standing figures turned towards the
Persian; a male figure, much mutilated, a bearded and
long-haired figure similar to that on the short side, in
tunic and himation ; two younger male figures.

Above is the Lycian inscription, which has been read :
iibaiya : [kr~\uvata : maiy'dpiydt# : vat[apr]data : Tcssadrapa :
pa[rzz~\a : pddq : tal{izi ; dpattd : trtnmilisa : ma .... It
contains the name of ' Autophradates, Persian Satrap,'
