Sepulchral chest (soros), adorned with reliefs on thefour sides. This tomb was made of a single block ofhard coarse limestone. It was found by Fellows in itsoriginal position, on a stele, which appears to have beenabout 9 feet high. On the top of the chest there is arebate to receive the lid, which formed a separate blockand has not been found. The lower part of the blockwas sawn off by Fellows, to facilitate transport. (XanihianMarbles, p. 34.)Perrot (vol. v., p. 396) is perhaps right in thinkingthat this is the oldest of the Xanthian monuments, andrepresents Lycian sculpture before the Ionian influencehad begun to make itself felt.The appearance of the monument as found is shown in Scharfsdrawing, here reproduced (pi. ii.), and also in a water-colourdrawing by W. J. Miiller, now in the Print Room of the BritishMuseum. Solly, Memoir of W. J. Miiller, pi. facing p. 216 ;Fellows, Asia Minor, p. 168.1.
