_Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology_, iv. (1876)
pp. 336-346; _id._, _Life in Asiatic Turkey_ (London, 1879), pp.
245-260; G. Perrot et Ch. Chipiez, _Histoire de l’Art dans
l’Antiquité_, iv. 723-729; Ramsay and Hogarth, “Prehellenic
Monuments of Cappadocia,” _Recueil de Travaux relatifs à la
Philologie et à l’Archéologie Égyptiennes et Assyriennes_, xiv.
(1903) pp. 77-81, 85 _sq._, with plates iii. and iv.; L.
Messerschmidt, _Corpus Inscriptionum Hettiticarum_ (Berlin, 1900),
Tafel xxxiv.; Sir W. M. Ramsay, _Luke the Physician_ (London, 1908),
pp. 171 _sqq._; John Garstang, _The Land of the Hittites_ (London,
1910), pp. 191-195, 378 _sq._ Of this sculptured group Messrs. W. M.
Ramsay and D. G. Hogarth say that “it yields to no rock-relief in
the world in impressive character” (_American Journal of
Archaeology_, vi. (1890) p. 347). Professor Garstang would date the
sculptures in the tenth or ninth century B.C. Another inscribed
Hittite monument found at Bor, near the site of the ancient Tyana,
exhibits a very similar figure of a priest or king in an attitude of
adoration. The resemblance extends even to the patterns embroidered
on the robe and shawl, which include the well-known _swastika_
carved on the lower border of the long robe. The figure is
sculptured in high relief on a slab of stone and would seem to have
been surrounded by inscriptions, though a portion of them has
perished. See J. Garstang, _op. cit._ pp. 185-188, with plate lvi.
For the route from Tarsus to Ibreez (Ivriz) see E. J. Davis, _Life
in Asiatic Turkey_, pp. 198-244; J. Garstang, _op. cit._ pp. 44
_sqq._
M92 The fertility of Ibreez contrasted with the desolation of the
surrounding country.
389 See above, pp. 28 _sq._
390 Strabo, xii. 2. 7, p. 537. When Cicero was proconsul of Cilicia
(51-50 B.C.) he encamped with his army for some days at Cybistra,
from which two of his letters to Atticus are dated. But hearing that
the Parthians, who had invaded Syria, were threatening Cilicia, he
hurried by forced marches through the pass of the Cilician Gates to
Tarsus. See Cicero, _Ad Atticum_, v. 18, 19, 20; _Ad Familiares_,
xv. 2, 4.
391 E. J. Davis, in _Transactions of the Society of Biblical
Archaeology_, iv. (1876) pp. 336 _sq._, 346; _id._, _Life in Asiatic
Turkey_, pp. 232 _sq._, 236 _sq._, 264 _sq._, 270-272. Compare W. J.
Hamilton, _Researches in Asia Minor, Pontus, and Armenia_ (London,
1842), ii. 304-307.
