The Carian Coast III

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 October 2013

Extract

This article concludes the account of our joint researches in Caria. In ‘The Cnidia’ (BSA xlvii (1952) 171–212) we treated of the Cnidian Peninsula, and in ‘The Halicarnassus Peninsula’ (BSA 1 (1955) 85–171) of the other salient peninsula of the west Carian coast. Caunus with its environs has been treated by Bean in ‘Notes and Inscriptions from Caunus’ (JHS lxxiii (1953) 10–35, lxxiv (1954) 85–110), and the mainland territory of Rhodes in southern Caria in Fraser and Bean, The Rhodian Peraea and Islands (1954). In the present article we attempt to cover the parts of the west Carian coast not previously treated in our two joint articles, together with the islands adjacent to that coast. In the south we have retrodden some of the ground covered in Rhodian Peraea, especially around and inland from the inner part of the Ceramic Gulf; and in the north we have carried our joint researches into Ionia as far as Teichiussa on the mainland and Leros and Lepsia in the Icarian Sea. We also include some observations on the Cnidian and Halicarnassian peninsulas, supplementing our previous work. In conclusion we discuss briefly the distribution of west Carian dynasties in classical times; and extending our previous observations on Mausolus' remodelling of the habitational network of west Caria, we have tried to give a fuller account of the scope of Hecatomnid enterprise in this direction.

8 This evidence is similar to that, for example, which led to the location of Hygassus at Bayir, an identification which has since proved to be false: see Peraea 67, n. 1.

9 The site of Amnistus has hitherto remained quite unknown, though the demotic is fairly common in Rhodian inscriptions. Hiller, (IG xii. 1, p. 10)Google Scholar placed it in the Peraea, but without bringing arguments in support. Our no. 2 is, if we are not mistaken, the only epitaph of an Amnistian yet discovered in the Peraea.

15 We are very much indebted to Mr. W. K. Smith for providing us with the foregoing information about the text of Mela.

16 Pliny, , NH v. 107Google Scholar, seems to duplicate the place, Etene (Eutene E 2, R 2), Eutane (Euctane R); his location of Eutane is evidently up the Ceramic Gulf and thus lends some confirmation to Mela.

17 Possibly it is also to be identified with the of Const. Porph., De them. xiv, but this is far from certain.

18 We note that Pliny, NH v. 100Google Scholar uses the same term of Phellus in Lycia: Antiphellos, quae quondam Habesos, atque in recessu Phellos. The site of Phellus has been disputed; we believe that Pliny refers to its position on Felendaǧi some 2 miles inland. The alternative site close to the shore at Bayindir Limani is, it is true, in a small bay, but no more so than Antiphellus, which is not so described by Pliny.

19 It is, of course, possible that there was some ancient occupation between Söǧüt and Bencik. But the coast there is now quite devoid of habitation (above, p. 60), and no remains were noted in the survey for the Admiralty charts. So it seems to us unlikely that Euthena can have lain there.

22 The antiquities have been briefly described by Diehl and Cousin (BCH x. 423 f.) and by Guidi (op. cit. 380–4). Our investigations have added nothing of note. The island is also known today as Sedir Ada, i.e. ‘Cedar Island’. This may be a modern rendering of the ancient name rather than a genuine survival; it does not appear to have been known to the early travellers.

29 If, as we suppose, this is Guidi's fig. 38, it is certainly a part of the original design, since the two ends of the curtain are running in overlapping arcs and could not otherwise meet.

30 This form of gate, presumably the predecessor of the Hellenistic round-arched one, seems to have been common in the east Aegean between the second half of the fifth century and the beginning of the third; besides the well-known examples at Assos, the ‘Acropolis of Old Smyrna’, Heracleia ad Latmum, and Lysimachian Ephesus, we have noticed such gates at Termera (Asarlik, , BSA l. 116Google Scholar), Samos, (AA 1931, 289, fig. 37)Google Scholar, Kozpinar (Calynda, , JHS lxxiii. 26, fig. 23Google Scholar), and the dummy ‘false arch’ at Söǧüt (above, p. 61).

46 Paktyes in the Athenian tribute lists of 453/452 and 451/450 (ATL i. 288). Nesselhauf, , Klio Beih. xxx (1933) 126, n. 2Google Scholar, remarked that might be a pair of ethnics; and Robert refers to him and speaks of Paktyes' domination as being (at the most) momentary (op. cit. 473). But the only other instance of such coupling in the lists of the first assessment period is the entry and here an ethnic can be definitely ruled out. At both Idyma and Syangela we find that the dynast's name is omitted in lists 7–8 and continuously on through the third and fourth assessment periods. Pigres of Syangela reappears in list 23; Paktyes (or his successor) does not reappear, for the Idymes had dropped out of the lists in the fourth period. Thus, for the period during which Idyma was in the league, the evidence for the existence of a dynasty there is precisely the same as that for the dynasty at Syangela, and there is no reason to doubt that Paktyes is a dynast's name.

54 CR ii. 328 f., JHS xvi. 260 (a); from Paton's correspondence with Myres, which by the generosity of the latter we were able to read, it is certain that the phrase ‘the inscription ΝΟ’ was a misprint for ‘the inscription No. 9’.

55 We recall that Benndorf and Niemann likewise were convinced that the very similar tomb of Amyntas at Telmessus must have been a princely tomb and not that of a private citizen (Reisen 41).

69 We are inclined to think that Hisarlik is probably the site described by Cousin, G. in BCH xxiv (1900) 42Google Scholar, under the name Kara-Burtlen Assar, ‘en face de Groba. Sur une colline faisant partie de la chaîne qui sépare Groba de Djova et de Kara-Agatch [this is not really intelligible] se trouvent les ruines d'une ville qui semble avoir été assez importante. En plusieurs endroits le mur est assez bien conservé et, surtout du côté de la plaine, on le suit facilement. Il est construit en appareil irrégulier, qui du côté de la montagne est en très bon état. Ce sont de gros blocs de cette pierre grise que l'on trouve partout dans le pays. Ils s'ajustent ensemble assez bien, et les vides sont remplis par des pierres de moindre dimension. … À un coude il y eut autrefois, soit un escalier, soit plutôt une tour carrée. La saillie rectangulaire est en appareil régulier. … Sur la côte ouest plusieurs redans. Il y a en tout plusieurs rangées de murs, qui semblent parallèles … Au dessous du mur vers la montagne du côté sud, il y a encore des restes de monuments et édifices importants.… Saraikli, petit village au SE de la colline qui porte ces ruines.’ This could hardly be called a good description of Hisarlik, but the points of resemblance seem enough to make the identification probable. We could learn of no other site ‘en face de Groba’, and in fact Saraikli (unknown) seems to correspond to Sarayyani.

70 The total disappearance of the wall itself is remarkable, but we observed much the same thing in connexion with the outer perimeter wall of early Cnidus (see BSA xlvii. 176, n. 22) and elsewhere. It is hardly conceivable that the Asar site can have been unwalled; it is certainly not merely a sanctuary site.

71 No. 33 was republished in Peraea 45, no. 42.

72 The provenience was confirmed to us personally by a local resident who had his information from the soldiers who dug the stone up near the karakol (now the gümrük) at Gelibolu in 1949.

73 Both features occur occasionally on subject territory, notably at Idyma; see SEG iv. 175 (= Robert, Ét. anat. 477, no. 4) and no. 11 below. Since the stone was actually unearthed at Gelibolu, it is hardly permissible to suppose that it has been brought there from elsewhere in modern times.

74 A place by the name of κότα is recorded SIG 3 46, ), but it presumably lay, like the other recognizable places in that inscription, in the region of Halicarnassus.

75 So far as can be judged from the printed epigraphic text, which has the forms Α, Μ, Π, Σ, Ω, there is at least no apparent discrepancy.

76 The stone is described as ‘base en pierre, brisée en haut’; if this means that the text is complete at the bottom, we must restore somewhat differently: It is then possible, though not necessary, that we have fragments of two separate lists of priests of Leto and Aphrodite.

77 On line 2 Robert notes: ‘on restitue il me semble qu'il faut ’ But is right. The man in question has changed his place of residence upon adoption; in such a case both toponymies are given to the man himself, not to either of his two fathers: e.g. Blinkenberg, , Lindos ii. 330Google Scholar cf. IG xii. 1. 181, Lindos ii. 259, and Blinkenberg's remarks on p. 96. In line 2 Robert prints but is the Rhodian form.

78 is most naturally taken to relate to Laodicea on the Lycus, but this is not of course certain.

79 Natives of all parts of the Peraea are regularly described in this way; no indication is therefore afforded as to whether a particular place lay in incorporated or in subject territory, except that on subject territory Rhodian demesmen have the ethnic in place of their demotic. Idyma itself was certainly subject: see Peraea 71.

80 A small locality by the name of Carpotheca would be perfectly possible if it lay in the vicinity of Idyma, but in this case Callinicus should have a patronymic; having none, he would necessarily be a foreigner, and a city by the name of Carpotheca is hardly conceivable.

81 See n. 79 above and Peraea 53.

82 There can hardly be any question at this date of a deliberate omission; forms such as &c., are common in the Imperial period, but not in the second century B.C.

83 See RE s.v. Parochos, and for a more general use about the date of our inscription, IG xiv. 951 (1st C. B.C.).

84 masculine, shows that the dedication is a private one, not by the koinon of Idyma. would be abnormal at this date. The dedicator had no doubt benefited personally by the governor's generosity.

85 Op. cit. 494, in his chapter (ibid. 491–502) on the subject of Callipolis.

86 JHS xi. 109 f.

87 See Peraea 71. In the unusually abundant inscriptions of Rhodes and its incorporated Peraea and islands not a single Callipolitan is ever mentioned (the ethnic was read in IG xii. 3. 48 (Telos), but is corrected by Hiller, ibid. p. 276). This is normal if Callipolis was on subject territory (in the three main collections of Rhodian inscriptions there is a single mention of a Pladasan, (IG xii. 1.Google Scholar 962, from Chalke), but Idymians, Therans, Pisyetes, and others are totally absent); but it would be extraordinary if Callipolis was a Rhodian deme. The visit of the Delphic theoroi also suggests that Callipolis was not incorporated in the Rhodian state.

88 Idyma, Cedreae, and the Tripolitai (who presumably also lay outside the confines of the incorporated Peraea).

89 The situation of Thera on the plateau (Peraea 47 f.) was of course not known when Robert wrote. Theangela is not named among Orontobates’ positions; presumably it had been won over by Alexander.

90 Cf. Cramer, , Asia Minor (1832) ii. 216.Google Scholar Newton, however, gives the name (of the stream) as Bourla, Gheli (Halicarnassus ii. 625).Google Scholar

91 The one established parallel that presents itself is Erine (Rena, Arine, now Hisarönü) at the head of the Gulf of Syme. But this identification, though attractive, is like wise uncertain. The name Rina is not rare (e.g. on Kalymnos and Leros), and on Kalymnos at least it is derived from the name H. Eirene; at Hisarönü it may have the same origin.

92 Thus the Greeks of Menemen, Nymphi, and Magnesia (under Sipylus) built themselves a fortress at Old Phocaea about the beginning of the fourteenth century (Tomaschek, , Zur hist. Topographie v. Kleinasien im Mittelaitsr 26Google Scholar).

93 Cf. ATL i. 508, where (in connexion with the presumed situation at Gelibolu) it is suggested that Callipolis is a ‘Hellenistic euphemism for Kyllandos’.

54 IG xii. 1. 1036; Peraea 99 q.v.

95 See Peraea 72 f., 76. ATL's location near Gelibolu (above, n. 93) is bound up with the false location of Callipolis there.

96 The order in which the three territories recovered by Nicagoras are cited can hardly be that in which they were reconquered. But if (as we suppose) the Cyllandia bordered the Idymia on the east, the order can fairly be called a geographical one; whereas there would be no order at all if the Cyllandia were also on the plateau north of Idyma.

97 Festschrift für Carl Weickert (1955) 94–96. Robert, J. and Robert, L., REG lxix (1956) 163Google Scholar, refer to the ‘cadre du stoichedon’, but this inscription is not written stoichedon.

99 The phrase is on either view unsatisfactory to the modern historian as a dating formula; not so, however (if we are right), from the point of view of its own time; in the first year of the new city is in fact a precise date, and might well be acceptable in a verse inscription. The new foundation was of course the great event that filled every man's mind.

100 Op. cit. 208–10 and map, pl. 37.

101 This ripple is clearly visible in a photograph he sent us. Since we wrote this paragraph Dr. Penfield's account of his discoveries has appeared in Proc. Amer. Philosoph. Soc. 101, no. 5, Oct. 1957, 393 ff. He discusses the situation of Triopion at Kumyer and the harbour mole connecting the island to the mainland (with photographs and sketch-plans of Datça-Burgaz and Kumyer-Palamut Bay; for the snake of his fig. 4 cf. BSA xlvii. 183 (large funerary altar = Penfield's n. 12), Keil-Premerstein, Zweite Reise in Lydien, no. 17, Laumonier, , BCH lviii. 344).Google Scholar Penfield notes that at the foot of the Kumyerkalesi hill towards Kumyer village there is a ‘remarkably level field’, and that the stadium of the Triopian sanctuary may have been there.

102 Hdt. iii. 60:

103 A mole with an open passage in the middle, consisting in fact of two walls projecting from the mainland and the island, would fit Mr. Penfield's observations better.

104 Even without a wall, an anchorage is shown on the chart near the north end of the island, in depths varying from 9 to 20 fathoms.

108 Perhaps in order to let it out to others, as was commonly done with temple land, though in this case it would be more natural to buy the land outright.

109 The Roberts find a parallel for the present text in the well-known inscriptions from Smyrna, SIG 3 990. These are not easily intelligible in all parts, but it is clear that the money passes from the temenos to the temple; how this can be parallel to the present case we do not see, and wonder if we can have taken our critics' meaning correctly.

110 A number of the Roberts' other criticisms of the epigraphical part of our article hardly seem to justify the denigratory remarks with which they are prefaced. On no. 2, for example, they have misunderstood our note concerning the date of Iphiadas' proxeny, which marks a point not in the history of the proxeny, but in the career of Iphiadas. For no. 58 their suggestion neglects our observation that about half the name is preserved. Our translation (p. 208, n. 20) of the epigram BMI 797 is said to contain nothing new; yet we note that in Robert's own Ét. épigr. et phil. 44, to which he refers us, the text is still printed in the old erroneous form, with in line 4, where is obviously required. On the single-line epitaph no. 12, we noted that the inscription, brief though it is, appears complete. The Roberts observe, ‘certainement, car elle forme un hexamètre’. Did they suppose we had not noticed this? Why must the text be complete because it forms a verse? What was to prevent the addition of a second or more verses, supplying a little more information? Are we alone in feeling that criticism of this kind is rather tiresome?

124 Judeich and Winter were disposed to believe that the building, originally a tomb, was at a later time used as a mandra, the size of the entrance being reduced for the purpose. We prefer to think that this was the original purpose.

125 This section should be read in connexion with BSA l. 112–15, 145–7.

126 The outline of the city wall was entirely traced with compass and tape, and may be regarded as accurate within a very small margin of error; the positions of the individual buildings in the interior were for the most part estimated, without actual measurement, and checked as far as possible by cross-bearings. The contours were judged by eye alone and make no pretence to give more than a general idea of the terrain.

127 See BSA l. 146, n. 243. The mentioned in the Theangelan treaty with Eupolemus are accordingly the peaks A, B, and D. The tower at C measures 9·30 by 6·40 m., which is little larger than the ordinary towers in the wall; it is doubtful therefore whether this should be included in the Similar considerations apply also to E.

129 The steep south slope of B is covered with a mass of collapsed wall-blocks, and it is not easy to discern any plan. RR is only 0·70 m. thick, but it appears to be continuous.

133 Specimens were taken to the school at Milâs; those that remained at the tomb had by 1956 all been removed by the villagers.

134 The alternative is that these stone balls were used for weight-putting or some such athletic exercise; for similar, but much larger, stones found at Colophon and Pompeii, and supposed to be used for athletic purposes, see Hesperia xiii. 147, 150 and n. 46. But forty such balls is more than could reasonably be required in the palaestra, nor is it easy to understand why in this case they came to be collected on the roof of the tomb.

135 TAM ii. 288–9. This is at least its present condition; the ends are not preserved, but it can never, it seems, have been much longer. To judge by the old plans, the stadia at Iasus (p. 100) and Myndus (BSA l. 109) also seem likely to have been well below the standard size.

136 AM 1887, 334; cf. Robert, op. cit. 65.

137 Apart of course from the vases in the tomb T. It is to be remembered that no proper excavation was possible: soundings could not be taken to a depth of more than 2 metres in the time and with the resources available.

138 We considered other possible explanations of ZZ, but none is satisfactory. An earlier Mausolan fortification seems ruled out by the style of masonry; and after the powerful tetrapyrgon was built a wall of this kind would appear unnecessary—or if it were constructed as an additional precaution, it would surely be made to conform better to the style and plan of the major fortification. We even considered the possibility that ZZ might be a modern field wall, but its thickness as well as its position make this suggestion quite unacceptable.

139 The three peaks A, B, and D are of approximately equal altitude. The approach is steep in all parts (though rather less so between D and C) except on the west, where the hill-side slopes gently down from D towards the pass on the road from Etrim to Çiftlik. This is the obvious line of approach for a hostile force.

140 Koca Kale at Gelibolu (above, pp. 65 ƒ.) affords one parallel among many. We note that, if Z were accepted as belonging to a city on B, its style of masonry, which is not seen on the Lelegian sites, would suggest that the city was not Lelegian, and therefore not Syangela. This would open up interesting speculations, into which, however, we prefer not to enter here. For early rubble walls see Scranton, Greek Walls 145, 184–5.

142 These coins were not found in a hoard, but close together, scattered ‘as if from an aeroplane’, as our informant expressed it.

143 The apparent exception, Astyra, (BMC Caria xxxviii, 5961)Google Scholar, is only apparent. There was never a city of Astyra in Caria; L. Robert's suggested identification of it with the Carian Ptolemais is chimerical: see JHS lxxiii (1953) 23, n. 61. The coins have only ΑΣΤΓ, or merely Α, which by no means postulates Astyra.

144 The possibility (it is no more) that Alâkilise represents Amynanda (BSA l. 165) remains open. Alternatively, it may have been the residence of a member of the royal family.

For Salihadasi (Tarandos I.) see ibid. 132; the island had a town (Caryanda?) in classical times, and seems to have been deserted in Hellenistic times, but reoccupied in the Middle Ages; the fluctuation in its population in the last hundred years perhaps deserves remark. In 1865 Biliotti found a single inhabitant (a Samiot) on the island; presumably he was a lone settler. A decade or two later Haussoullier found a ‘village’ of fishermen's huts on the island (and an inscription, which he assumed to have been brought from Iasus or a neighbouring city; BCH viii. 218 ff., Hicks, , JHS viii. 103 ff., 116ff.Google Scholar). In 1953—4 we found the island uninhabited and overgrown with deep impenetrable scrub. At the present day the island is also called ‘Gölcü Ada’; the fishermen may have come from Göl.

Von Gerkan's huts are not mentioned in Guidi's text; but since he speaks of tombs of Lelego-Carian type at Iasus and illustrates them with his fig. 9, we are inclined to suppose that the huts did not in fact escape the notice of the Italian party and that Guidi's notice contains an oblique reference to them.

194 It would certainly by a nahiye if its communications were better. The roads are so bad that even jeeps only rarely and unwillingly penetrate to it.

195 There was perhaps an oil factory here. Olives are the main product of the district and are exported as far as Ayvalik. Ayvalik is itself noted for its olive-oil, which is used for cooking, that of Kazikh for making soap. For oil troughs in this region see Paton, and Myres, , JHS xviii. 211.Google Scholar

196 For Kapakli Kuyu see Robert, , Ét. anat. 437 ff.Google Scholar, but the site is inconsiderable in comparison with the others in the neighbourhood.

197 The left-hand portion of this inscription is still lying there; in line 1 the stone has in fact ΘΙΛΛΓ, as copied by the editors.

198 The localities are in fact largely named from the wells: Örtülü Kuyu, Kapakli Kuyu, Tathkuyu, Yavankuyu, Yenikuyu, &c.

199 A ‘naval base’ at Karakuyu is indeed little short of an absurdity. As a harbour Akbük Limam is better, but far from good. The low ground to the west affords no protection against the prevailing north-wester, and in a south wind (according to local information) it is not uncommon for boats to capsize.

200 Under these circumstances it is surprising that of all the scholars who have previously visited Kazikli not one seems even to have considered the possibility that this might be Teichiussa. Cousin and Deschamps, commenting (BCH xviii (1894) 21) on the inscription mentioned above (n. 197), observe that the occurrence of the stephanephoros Athenais ‘prouve que nous avons quitté le territoire de Milet pour celui de lasos, où l'on connaît déjà la stéphanéphorie éponymique des femmes’. This, of course, does not hold good: the stephanephorate is equally characteristic of Miletus. Von Diest, (Pet. Mitt. 55 (1909) 268Google Scholar), though noting the good connexion with the sea, finds no clue to an identification. Robert (op. cit. 439), by a notable understatement, says that Kazikli, ‘à l'époque impérial au plus tard’, certainly formed part of Milesian territory.

201 On a low hill called Çamtepe, a little north of Doğanbeleni, are some rather scanty remains of a fort which may be of classical date: a wall of roughish polygonal about 40 metres long is preserved for one course above ground. The tombs of the type shown in Plate 22 ƒ are difficult to date. Everything else seems to be of the Roman period or later.

202 The similar wall at Emecik on the Cnidian peninsula (Maiuri, , Ann. iv–v. 403, fig. 8)Google Scholar is dated to the sixth century by the carvings on it (BSA xlvii. 172 f., pl. 39 a); cf. also the bit of the old acropolis wall bedded on the rock at Neandria (Koldewey, , Neandria 11, fig. 9, at point ‘a’, not ‘d', on the plan).Google Scholar

203 For the red mullet of Teichiussa (T. 6, τρίλαν) we cannot speak, as the modern inhabitants are little interested in fishing. The centre of piscatorial activity at present is the dalyan near Küllük, where an abundance of all kinds of fish, including mullet, is caught. We are not very clear what is implied by the epithet ψαφαρῇ. As denoting a poor sandy soil it is hardly appropriate: the plain of Kazikli, despite the absence of running water, is fertile and supports many kitchen-gardens; the water-table is little below the surface and wells are easily dug. Probably ψαφαρῇ. is no more than a poetic epithet alluding to the position of Teichiussa by the shore: see LSJ s.v.

Segre, , Memorie iii. 39, n. 7)Google Scholar is in squared masonry with vertical drafting at the angles, and forms a square of c 12·70 by 11·60 m.; it apparently consisted of two main rooms side by side, with a shallow vestibule (roofed with flagstones) in front of each. We noted Hellenistic sherds there, and imagine the building is of that date. The building is backed against the hill slope, and so perhaps was a strong dwelling rather than a fort; in the surviving west part the exterior door is only 0·65 m. wide, whereas that leading into the main room is 1·00 m. wide (cf. the Lelegian farmhouse near Halicarnassus, , BSA l. 132 f.).Google Scholar

287 Cf. Newton, op. cit. 287 ff., 299 ff., 329 ff. Newton dated the finds 330–150 B.C., or later. That, a hundred years ago, was a very remarkable achievement. The recent excavations at Olynthus and in the Athenian agora now make it possible to date with slightly greater precision. We are very greatly indebted to Mr. R. A. Higgins and Mr. P. E. Corbett for arranging for our benefit Newton's finds from Kalymnos in the British Museum; especially to Mr. Corbett for his observations on the Damos pottery, on which the following account is based.

The terra-cotta lamps from Damos start with late examples of Broneer's type VI; there are a number of type VII, one of type VIII, several of type IX, two examples of type XI, and one roughly of type XII (as in Thompson's Agora group E, Hesperia iii. 393 ff.). There are also some lamps of Roman imperial date, but it is not certain that they came from Damos; they may rather be from Pothia (see below, p. 130, n.291). The early lamps from Damos can be matched at Olynthus. Among black-glazed wares two bolsals, a skyphos, a cup-kantharos, a kantharos, and two fish-plates can also be matched at Olynthus; there is also a heavy cup-kotyle and a pair of red-figured askoi (one mentioned Travels i. 300, the other exactly matched at Olynthus). This mass of material points to a commencing date in the second quarter of the fourth century for the series of tombs excavated by Newton at Damos.

Among the Hellenistic pottery there are a number of fusiform unguentarles; some are of the earlier Hellenistic form; the latest examples are more advanced than Thompson's group C 76, though not quite so straight-sided as his group D 78. There are several lagynoi (a form most popular around the second century B.C., see Thompson's discussion, his pp. 450f.); a Megarian bowl of Delian type; a satyr'shead brazier rest found outside the city wall at Damos (examples of the type in Thompson's groups D 76 and E 150). The lamps mentioned above seem to descend towards Thompson's group E. Thompson dated his group D in the mid-second century B.C., and his group E at the end of the second century B.C. and in the early years of the first. On this evidence the burials in the cemetery at Damos seem to have been continuing well into the second century B.C. at least. Newton also excavated a grave at Damos that yielded a Coan coin of the reign of Caracalla.

On the present evidence there may have been a decline in burials at Damos in late Hellenistic times. The cemetery at Pothia in the eastern half of the valley seems to be of late antiquity (below, p. 130, n. 291). So far as it is legitimate to apply the evidence of incompletely excavated cemeteries to the problems of habitations of the living, we might infer a shift of settlement eastward in late times; but this can hardly have occurred as early as the late third century B.C., when the new deme-system was introduced.

Much pottery now in the archaeological collection in the harbour town is said to come from Damos, including Mycenaean and fourth-century vases. Cf. also Ross, , Reisen ii. 99, iv. 8 ff.Google Scholar; Arias, , Historia ix. 28, figs. 5–6.Google Scholar

Ross, op. cit. ii. 99 (many foundations of ancient buildings and many coins), Reïses, op. cit. 59 (traces of a very strong fortification, many and great ruins). Ross also surmised that here (as in Vathy) there was an ancient town and believed this to be the principal one on the island; but, not knowing of the fortifications at Damos, he assumed that the habitation extended along the valley (op. cit. 110).

290 Cf. Ross, op. cit. 100, Newton, Travels i. 227, 314Google Scholar; Dubois, , BCH viii (1884) 41Google Scholar, speaks of ancient substructures, especially at the point where the old church of the Panagia stood. Reises speaks of these remains and cites the judgement of his compatriot Kallisperes that the Ionic order of the temple was not inferior to that of the Erechtheum in Athens (op. cit. 28); they concluded that the ancient city of Pothaea lay here, but we have not found evidence to support their view, which seems to be founded in large part on local pride.

291 Late Roman and Byzantine lamps and vases in graves at Pothia near the harbour (Newton, , Excavations at Calymnos 23 f.Google Scholar (= Arch. Journal xiii (1856) 36 f.)); this cemetery seems to have been in the valley opposite Perakastro.

To relate the three demes to Pliny's notices of Calymna in the way that Segre does (cf. Ann. xxii–xxiii. 31) seems to us misleading. In NH v. 133 the names of the three towns are in fact given by Pliny (Calydne (vel sim.) cum III oppidis, Notio, Nisyro, Mendetero(s)); they bear no resemblance to the known deme names of Calymna; possibly—assuming that the reference is in fact to Calymna—Pliny may have misconstrued a Greek source which (referring to Cos and its demes) stated that Calydne was another deme (of Cos) and that to the south (of Cos) lay Nisyros. In NH iv. 71 the name of the single town is also given (Calymna, in qua oppidum Coos (vel sim.), where the meaning of Pliny's source may have been that Calymna was a deme of Cos). Fortunately the threefold division of Calymna under Coan rule seems to be so securely established on the epigraphical evidence that Pliny need not be used to support it.

300 This fortress is said to have been founded by survivors from the destruction of Rina in the ninth century and to have been abandoned later when the population removed to the kastro above the watershed in the southern valley. The kostro was fully inhabited until the population moved down to the khora after the Greek War of Independence (Newton, , Travels i. 296Google Scholar) and so cannot come into consideration here.

309 Newton was told that there was a place called ‘Potha’ on Telendos (op. cit. 315), but this can hardly affect the present issue. If Ποθ- in the name Pothaea is the Doric form of Προσθ-, the ancient deme-name may also be preserved in the western half of the southern valley, which in Ross's time was called τὰ ᾿Μπροσθά, (Reisen ii. 96)Google Scholar and is called by Reïses (op. cit. 25, 55); Segre also speaks of a vicus Brostà there (loc. cit.) and Newton of a cave called (op. cit. 316).

312 Segre's note (op. cit. 85) gives the impression that Herzog believed the and to refer to Calymna. But Herzog, (Klio ii. 319)Google Scholar took them to refer to Cos, and the to be Calymna and its adjacent islands (cf. the mention of and (= Cos) in the Coan decree relating to the same emergency (Segre, , Riv. Fil. lxi. 365)Google Scholar, and that of Halasarna, SIG 3 569. 19). The Calymnian inscription (no. 64) then goes on to relate that the (Coan) admiral decided to meet the armada from Crete and the battle (in which Calymnians took part) was fought off Cape Laceter. Segre had in fact previously recognized that this was so (op. cit. 378), but he does not seem to have perceived its necessary implication for the objectives of the expedition; the Cretan fleet was not heading in the direction of Calymna and its islands, but steering a course round the other side of Cos, which must inevitably lead to the city of Cos at Skandarion. For the position of Cape Laceter see above, p. 126.

313 Segre, Ann. xxii–xxiii, no. 79, p. 121. The Cnidian arbitration of the ensuing claim dates to the early years of the third century, and Segre dates the loan c. 360 B.C.; he remarks that it is quite unknown what this public work was which involved an expenditure beyond the resources of the state, but suggests that it may have been at the sanctuary of Apollo. So far as we are aware, there is no evidence of constructional work at the sanctuary in the fourth century; and we prefer to suppose that the new town-sites were the object.

338 Milet iii. 2, 51. This dating is presumably based on the theory that Priene was refounded by the Athenians in the mid-fourth century B.C. at the time when they were on friendly terms with the arch-rebel Orontes, who may possibly at some time have gained possession of Ionia as far south as the Maeander. Hence the assumption that Orontes' reconciliation with Artaxerxes Ochos will have caused the suspension of work at Priene. The resemblance of the fortifications of Heracleia with those of Lysimachian Ephesus, which Krischen also remarks, is less striking.

339 For Pleistarchus cf. Robert, , Inscr. Sinuri 57 ff.Google Scholar

340 Thus Robert, with due caution, suggests Eupolemus as the author of the fortifications at Heracleia (loc. cit.); von Gerkan, , Griech. Städteanlagen 16, n. 2Google Scholar, and Magie, , Roman Rule in Asia Minor 918Google Scholar, suggest Lysimachus.

341 Scranton's definition of them as ‘pseudo-isodomic’, coupled with his acceptance of Krischen's historical dating, seems to us misleading (Greek Walls 134, 181 f.), and we should rather not apply the term here. If, on the other hand, Scranton's classification of them is retained, it seems as though the commencing date of this ‘pseudo-isodomic, quarry to hammer face’ class must be raised. The treatment of the face is the normal classical one; and since on historical grounds the fortifications of Philippi also are more naturally to be dated in the middle of the fourth century, it seems in fact that mid-fourth-century dates actually preponderate in this class.

The use of the name to denote a region considerably greater than the territory of the city of Eurome might possibly be explained by an earlier, abortive synoecism there. The change of name from to if it is a ‘euphemistic’ change like that of Syagela–Theangela (for the extraordinary complexity of the problem see Robert, , Hellenica viii. 35 ff.)Google Scholar, would most naturally fit with Mausolus' hellenizing policy.
