This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1891 Excerpt: ...a Victory, then we must suppose that the bases were selected by scribblers because they stood in conspicuous places, and the scrawls are advertisements of success. These 'Vut)' inscriptions are peculiar to Caria and the adjacent islands, and in the Bulletin HelMnique for 1890, p. 115, Messrs. Cousin and Diehl explain them as Christian epitaphs, but (1) Nos. 69 and 70 do not seem to be later than the first century A.D., and (2) the other scrawls are cut on bases which are not likely to have stood in or near cemeteries. 73--102. They relate to the following: --73. Ptolemy Euergetes II. 74. Ptolemy XI. 73. Herod the Tetrarch. 76-80. Nicias. 81-83. Augustus. 84-93. C. Stertinius Xenophon. 94. Tib. CI. Cleonymus. 95-97. M. Ae. Sabinianus. 98. Man. Spedius Rufinua Phaedrus. 99. Geta. 100. Caracalla. 101. Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. 102. P. Sallustius Sempronius Victor. No. 128, which relates to T. Quinctius Flamininus, should have been placed here before No. 73. The king is Ptolemy Euergetes II. The inscription may be dated between B.C. 127 and 117: see Franz, C. I. 0. vol. iii. p. 285, and Nos. 4895. 4896. The second of the Cleopatras mentioned here, niece and second wife of the king, many years afterwards (circ. B. 0. 102), sent her grandson Ptolemy Alexander to Cos to be educated. He remained there until B.C. 88, when the island was taken by Mithradates. These ornamental characters were not generally used in Cos or Rhodes at this early date. The inscription may have been cut by the king's own mason.
