ment built Marahi, son of Cydalos Kandalos, of the
race of Triatarbas Pnytos, for bis housebold. He was (?)
a captain of Caricas.' A very different version,
except for the first clause, is given by Savelsberg.
One Kondalos was a lieutenant of Mausolos (Aristot.,
Oec. ii. xiv.), but it is improbable that bis name can be
identified witb tbat on the inscription.

1. (Plate XIII.) On one side of the arched roof is a
chariot, drawn by four horses, and containing a charioteer
with sleeved tunic and Phrygian cap, and an armed figure,
wearing helmet, sleeved tunic, cuirass with flaps, and
greaves. At the right-hand corner is the Chimaera,
crouching as if to spring. It is represented as a lioness
with a mane, and having the goat's head projecting from
its back. The tail is not shown.
The subject has been commonly interpreted as Beller-
ophon and the Chimaera. Bellerophon, however, should
be represented as riding on Pegasus (cf. No. 760, relief on
a rock tomb from Pinara). Hence it has been suggested
that in cases such as this, the figure of the Chimaera is
introduced as an heraldic emblem, to denote the descent
of the owner of the tomb from Bellerophon. At Giol-
Baschi the whole group of Bellerophon on Pegasus and the
Chimaera is introduced in immediate connexion with the
chariot, thus showing that the person in the chariot
cannot himself be Bellerophon (Benndorf, Heroon, p. 61,
pi. 22). The chariot group is of frequent occurrence on
Lycian tombs. For a list of examples see Benndorf,
Heroon, p. 59.
