[452] _Op cit._, p. 230, line 3 and line 5. [453] We pronounce this word Ivreez; though locally it is commonly pronounced Ibreez, owing probably to racial difficulty with the letter _v_. [454] See Chapter I. p. 41. [455] There is a plentiful literature on the subject. See _inter alia_ for a picturesque description of the country, Davis, _Life in Asiatic Turkey_, pp. 245-248. For an account of the monument in relation to its environment, with much beauty of thought and written with charm of expression, see Ramsay, _Luke the Physician_, pp. 171-179, and Pl. XXI.; also a note in _Pauline and other Studies_, pp. 172, 173. For a comparative study of the religious symbolism of the monument, Frazer, _Adonis, Attis, and Osiris_ (1907), pp. 93-97. For our photograph, Pl. LVII., taken from a plaster cast in the Asia Minor Museum at Berlin, we are indebted to Dr. Messerschmidt, who describes his visit to the spot, _C.I.H._ (1906), pp. 5, 6, and Pl. XXXIV. This photograph shows more of the delicate detail than any of the originals that have been published, in which the shadows are usually too violent.
