^{page 351 note 1} Another name of this god is Bennis or Benneus. Benneus, from the Thraco-Illyrian word Benna, a car, means the god who stands in a chariot, as Benfey used, orally at least, to explain Jupiter Stator: Deecke, v., Rhein. Mus., vol. 37, p. 385.Google Scholar In J. H. S. 1887, p. 512, I have by a slip of memory explained Soa in the name Bennisoa by ‘treasure.’ Stephanus explains it as meaning ‘tomb.’ But the word Bennisoa has to be dismissed as a fiction of editors, who have united Βεννεῖ Σοηνῶν in an inscription into one word. The people are in another inscription, and in this one when rightly understood, called Σοηνοί.

^{page 351 note 2} Damodike, daughter of Agamemnon of Cyme, married to Midas. The legendary expression of this intercourse appears in the relations between Priam and Phrygia, and in the suggestion of the goddess to Anchises to send a messenger to the King of Phrygia.

^{page 353 note 2} I have profited by the criticisms and suggestions of Mrs. Ramsay and Mr. Hogarth in numerous points, which it would be tedious to mention in detail.

^{page 353 note 3} A similar concealed staircase in the rock still exists in the small Phrygian acropoleis at Yapuldak and Pishmish Kalessi. Concealed entrances beneath the city walls are a remarkable feature at Pteria. Sir C. Wilson and I observed one nearly destroyed, one almost perfect, resembling in appearance the galleries at Tiryns.

^{page 353 note 4} An older and less perfect sketch, but still sufficiently clear to make the situation intelligible, has been, I think, reproduced for MM. Perrot and Chipiez's Hist. de l'Art, vol. V., which may be expected in December, 1889.

^{page 356 note 1} The actual condition is shown in a photograph, which will be reproduced in M. Perrot's vol. V.; See also Mr. Blunt's drawing, J. H. S. Pl. xviii.

^{page 360 note 1} I made an erroneous statement, J. H. S. 1882, p. 21, ‘no teeth are indicated in the upper jaw’: closer examination showed that the present surface is not original but broken. Otherwise the description on pp. 20–1 is correct and may be used to supplement the following remarks.

^{page 362 note 2} In Phrygia the chambers are indeed usually oblong, with the door in one of the shorter sides, just as in this case; but there is not much difference in length between the long and the short sides.

^{page 362 note 3} It is necessary to crawl under the rock, which is slightly tilted against another mass, and look up at the sculpture with one's face almost touching the surface.

^{page 363 note 1} See below, p. 372.

^{page 363 note 2} The lines indicated on the cuirass are uncertain; as the rock lies, the sculpture is turned downwards, and the spectator, lying on his back, has to look up at it, with his eyes only about two inches from the surface of the relief.

^{page 366 note 1} It was suggested jokingly at the time we were studying the relief that the King of Phrygia must have employed negro guards.

^{page 366 note 2} In place of trying to modify our sketches in accordance with my recollection, I thought it best to leave Mr. McCann to imitate the conventional Greek type which our imperfect sketches showed. No pupil is indicated in the eyes of the warriors of Fig. 9. The woodcut does not make the eye nearly so Assyrian in type as it really is. So also in the eyes of the lions (fig. 8) no pupil is indicated.

^{page 368 note 1} The difference in position of this band from that on the head of the Broken Lion (fig. 8) should be noticed.

^{page 368 note 2} Some details are clear in one animal and barely distinguishable in the other.

^{page 368 note 3} The absence of mane also shows that the animals are female. Those at Mycenae are female likewise.

^{page 376 note 1} A portion of the stone of the Midas-tomb was submitted to Prof. Alleync Nicholson of Aberdeen; he writes that it ‘is a volcanic ash. It is apparently a submarine ash, and is in many respects very similar to the peculiar ash which occurs so largely in parts of the Rhine valley, and which is locally known as trass. As it is very friable, and as its external characters seem to be quite sufficient for identification, I did not prepare a slide of it for the microscope.’

^{page 379 note 1} My friend Mr. Neil suggested to me the opinion, which seems to be correct, that Lavaltas is the Phrygian form of Laertes.

^{page 381 note 1} The verb cdacs appears to me to be an aorist of the root dha, the medial aspirates becoming media in Phrygia. Deecke prefers to derive it from da, but appears to take from it the same meaning as I advocated in Journ. Asiat. Soc. 1883.
