The inscription (Fig. 1) on block 1010 of the Amazon Frieze of the Mausoleum has hitherto been regarded as illegible. The letters are ·03 m. high and carefully cut in three lines across the shield of one of the combatants, but have been (perhaps wilfully) defaced. The block in question is one of the twelve acquired by the exertions of Stratford de Redcliffe in 1846 from the Knights Hospitallers' Castle of S. Peter at Budrum. Of the twelve blocks three were built into the seaward wall of the castle with the arms and inscription (1506) of the Captain Constantius de Opertis: the remaining nine, of which No. 1010 is one, were placed inside Newton's ‘third gate’ five in the seaward tower and four immediately opposite.

7 Waldener himself figures as Vualderic in Fontanus Bell. Rhod. (1527) ii.). Heinrich Schlegelholt is called Essone di Slegleolts by Bosio and some English Knight is disguised by the same author under the extraordinary name of Sequipunt.
8 Fontanus (loc. cit.) describes him as Germanus eques armorum et navigandi peritus urbisque imperialis Hagenau summus praefectus ac Commendator qui Bhodiis in pace jus diccbat. Goussancourt (ii. 538) says he died in 1533. The supposed, Waldener arms in the Castellania at Rhodes given by Berg are really, as Belabre has recognised, those of ľIsle Adam: the building dates from the reign of G. M. ďAmboise (1503–12), before Waldener became Castellan.
