The land of the Hittites : $b An account of recent explorations and discoveries in Asia Minor, with descriptions of the Hittite monuments
Garstang, John
Hittites; Turkey -- Antiquities
[140] _E.g._ the monuments of Jerablus, the site of CARCHEMISH; and
of Marash, the ancient MARGHASI; also those found at Emir-Ghazi near
ARDISTAMA; or at Bor, Nigdeh, and Andaval near TYANA.
[141] Like the lions of Sakje-Geuzi, Marash, Eyuk, etc.
[142] _E.g._ at Kurts-oghlu and Marash. See pp. 98, 113.
[143] _E.g._ from Kara-burshlu, Sinjerli, Sakje-Geuzi, Marash, Malatia.
[144] _E.g._ from Jerablus, Marash, etc. See the readings of Professor
Sayce, _Proc. S.B.A._, 1904, Nov. _et seqq._
[145] These are marked upon the map, p. 390. A more detailed place-index
to these monuments, with a bibliography, is given in Appendix B.
[146] Sculptures decorate the three last-named palaces.
[147] May be inferred from analogy of sculptured blocks and locality.
[148] A careful scrutiny might reveal some signs.
[149] Eagle monuments, presumably Hittite.
[150] Lion monuments, head only in the round.
[151] Statuettes in the round; at Marash, Lion monuments also.
[152] Altar.
[153] Built into the gate façade.
[154] Seemingly biographical or memorial.
[155] Objects easily portable.
[156] Columnar statue.
[157] _Provenance_ doubtful.
[158] Cf. below, ch. v. p. 313.
[159] Messerschmidt, _C.I.H._ (1900), Pls. XXXIX.-XLV.
[160] _E.g._ from Bor, _Recueil de Travaux_, xiv. p. 88.
[161] _E.g._ from Aintab, _op. cit._, vol. xvii. p. 26.
[162] See below, p. 160, Pl. XL. (ii).
[163] Perrot in _Art in ... Asia Minor_, ii. p. 83.
[164] See later, p. 321.
[165] To face p. 390.
[166] Khalabu in _Annals of Thothmes III._, 33rd year; Khalman in the
Assyrian records; Khalpa in Hittite, and Haleb in Arabic.
[167] Except a small archaic bronze figure procured from Homs (Ménant:
_Revue Arch._, 1895, p. 31); another bronze figure and a cylinder seal
of ironstone purchased at Latakia upon the coast. (Longpérier _Musée
Napol._, Pls. XXI.-XXII.; and _American Jour. Arch._, 1898, p. 163,
and 1899, p. 18.) Addendum: an inscription of two lines in relief has
recently been found at Restan by the Rev. Father Ronzevalli of Beyrout.
[168] See, for instance, Perrot and Chipiez, _Art in ... Asia Minor_, ii.
p. 18; Breasted, _The Battle of Kadesh_ (Chicago, 1903), pp. 13, _et ff._
[169] See pp. 128, 130; and the list of monuments in Appendix B.
[170] See Pl. XL. (i).
[171] Ramsay (_Hist. Geog._, p. 35; also _Recueil_, xv., p. 28) believes
in a main eastern route passing through Malatia, and connecting with
the Royal Road. The place was, of course, the site of a Roman frontier
fortress.
[172] _Liverpool Annals of Arch._, i. p. 9.
[173] _Ibid._, p. 11, and Pl. XIV., fig. 1. See below, Pl. XL. (ii).
[174] See above, p. 38, and Ramsay, _Historical Geography of Asia Minor_,
pp. 30, 31.
[175] Pausanias, I. iv. 5.
[176] _Journal Hellenic Studies_, xix., Part I., 1899, p. 50.
[177] Or perhaps discrediting it. Cf. _J.H.S._ _loc. cit._, p. 45, at the
top.
