[139] [Plate XXIX]., No. 379. The front bears 4 卐; on the back are the emblems described, which are shown separately in detail, and of which M. Burnouf gives an elaborate description. (See [List of Illustrations].)
[140] [Plate XXVIII]., No. 377; compare [Plate XXVII]., No. 367.
[141] See [Plate XXII]., No. 328; the depth (14 M.) deserves special notice. The wheel-shape, which is characteristic of the whorls in the lowest stratum, is seen at No. 314, [Plate XXI].
[142] [Chapter IV]., p. 84. See [Plate XXII]., No. 326, from the Atlas of Photographs, and [Plate XLVIII]., No. 482, from M. Burnouf’s drawings.
[143] [Plate XXX]., No. 383.
[144] Page 83, and [Plate LI]., No. 496. This is one of the inscriptions examined by Professor Gomperz. (See Appendix.)
[145] See Cut, No. 81, and [Plate XXVII]., No. 369. The latter is an inscription, which Professor Gomperz has discussed. (See Appendix.)
[146] Iliad, VI. 168-170:—
Πέμπε δέ μιν Λυκίηνδε, πόρεν δ’ ὅ γε σήματα λυγρά,
Γράψας ἐν πίνακι πτυκτῷ θυμοφθόρα πολλά,
Δεῖξαι δ’ ἠνώγειν ᾧ πενθερῷ ὄφρ’ ἀπόλοιτο.
“But to the father of his wife, the King
Of Lycia, sent him forth, with tokens charged
Of dire import, on folded tablets traced,
Which, to the monarch shown, might work his death.”
[147] [Chapter IV]., see [p. 83-84]. Though not Phœnician, these are Cyprian letters, and they have been discussed by Professor Gomperz, who found in this very whorl his experimentum crucis. (See Appendix.)
