These inscriptions were copied by Captain G. A. Auden, R.A.M.C., near the Salt Lake, Suvla Bay, in 1915, and the transcripts handed over by him to Commander D. G. Hogarth, R.N.V.R., with the notes which are printed between inverted commas. Captain Auden writes ‘They (the inscriptions) have a good deal of persqnal interest to me, for the wells, by which they were placed, came in for a good deal of daily shelling, and it was only safe to linger over them in the early morning or after sunset.’
No. 1. ‘On a sarcophagus used as a trough near the Salt Lake. The inscription is a good deal weathered.’ The inscription is engraved on a panel flanked on either side by a rough volute or vine-tendril.
No. 2. ‘On a marble slab unearthed near the well at the foot of Lala Baba, on the edge of the Salt Lake. The slab was broken at the bottom. There were mortice holes at each end behind filled with lead, and the slab had a deep square-cut groove running the whole length behind. The inscription is very sharply cut without sign of weathering.’ Owing to the fracture only the tops of a few letters are visible in l. 4.
