Extract

As supplementary to the papers by Mr. Myres and myself in this Journal (vol. xvi. p. 188 and 241) I here give the results of two short journeys in Eastern Karia and Southern Lydia (see the Map, Pl. VI.), made by the aid of funds granted me by the Hellenic Society.

A.—Ancient Sites.

I proceed from West to East, starting from Tekke Kale, the most easterly site described in our former papers (see route-map, p. 58).

Divlin Kale, at a short distance from Tekke Kale, is a tower of isodomous masonry. It is situated near the most frequented road across the Mazin Dagh, the road from Chesme to the Maeander plain. It commands no extensive view and cannot, like Tekke Kale, have served as a beacon station. The construction differs from that of the beacon-stations Tekke Kale, Attaulusu Kale and Kurundere Kale, the corners not being ornamented with that draft, which is characteristic of these and of the military masonry of circ. 300 B.C. Divlin Kale is of earlier date, and its raison ďêtre was to protect this not unimportant line of road.

page 61 note 1 J.H.S. xvi. pp. 197. The site was visited by Messrs. Hula, and Szanto, (Bericht, 1894, p. 34Google Scholar) who seem to have missed the theatre, which I can state from memory to be very distinct.

page 61 note 2 The name gold-stone is perhaps derived from finds of gold coins on the spot. There is in the village a tradition of such a find.
