448 J. Theodore Bent, “Explorations in Cilicia Tracheia,” _Proceedings
of the Royal Geographical Society_, N.S. xii. (1890) pp. 445 _sq._,
458-460; _id._, “A Journey in Cilicia Tracheia,” _Journal of
Hellenic Studies_, xii. (1890) pp. 220-222; E. L. Hicks,
“Inscriptions from Western Cilicia,” _ib._ pp. 262-270; R. Heberdey
und A. Wilhelm, “Reisen in Kilikien,” _Denkschriften der kaiser.
Akademie der Wissenschaften, Philos.-histor. Classe_, xliv. (Vienna,
1896) No. vi. pp. 83-91; W. M. Ramsay and D. G. Hogarth, in
_American Journal of Archaeology_, vi. (1890) p. 345; Ch. Michel,
_Recueil d’Inscriptions Grecques_, p. 858, No. 1231. In one place
(_Journal of Hellenic Studies_, xii. 222) Bent gives the height of
Olba as 3800 feet; but this is a misprint, for elsewhere
(_Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society_, N.S. xii. 446,
458) he gives the height as exactly 5850 or roughly 6000 feet. The
misprint has unfortunately been repeated by Messrs. Heberdey and
Wilhelm (_op. cit._ p. 84 note 1). The tall tower of Olba is figured
on the coins of the city. See G. F. Hill, _Catalogue of the Greek
Coins of Lycaonia, Isauria, and Cilicia_ (London, 1900), pl. xxii.

M113 Limestone caverns of Western Cilicia.
449 Sir Charles Lyell, _Principles of Geology_12 (London, 1875), ii. 518
_sqq._; _Encyclopaedia Britannica_, Ninth Edition, _s.v._ “Caves,”
v. 265 _sqq._ Compare my notes on Pausanias, i. 35. 7, viii. 29. 1.
450 J. T. Bent, in _Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society_, N.S.
xii. (1890) p. 447.
M114 The city of Corycus. The Corycian cave.
451 Fr. Beaufort, _Karmania_ (London, 1817), pp. 240 _sq._
452 Strabo, xiv. 5. 5, pp. 670 _sq._; Mela, i. 72-75, ed. G. Parthey; J.
T. Bent, “Explorations in Cilicia Tracheia,” _Proceedings of the
Royal Geographical Society_, N.S. xii. (1890) pp. 446-448; _id._, “A
Journey in Cilicia Tracheia,” _Journal of Hellenic Studies_, xii.
(1891) pp. 212-214; R. Heberdey und A. Wilhelm, “Reisen in
Kilikien,” _Denkschriften der kaiser. Akademie der Wissenschaften,
Philos.-histor. Classe_, xliv. (1896) No. vi. pp. 70-79. Mr. D. G.
Hogarth was so good as to furnish me with some notes embodying his
recollections of the Corycian cave. All these modern writers confirm
the general accuracy of the descriptions of the cave given by Strabo
and Mela. Mr. Hogarth indeed speaks of exaggeration in Mela’s
account, but this is not admitted by Mr. A. Wilhelm. As to the ruins
of the city of Corycus on the coast, distant about three miles from
the cave, see Fr. Beaufort, _Karmania_ (London, 1817), pp. 232-238;
R. Heberdey und A. Wilhelm, _op. cit._ pp. 67-70.
M115 Priests of Corycian Zeus.
