Extract

The following stones, like no. 230 published in Part IV of this article (J.R.S. XVII, 1927, p. 49 ff.), were seen by W. M. Calder and C. W. M. Cox in the course of a hurried visit to the Upper Tembris Valley in July, 1924. The MS. of Part V was completed in March, 1926; in the revision of the proof-sheets we have been privileged to use the notes, impressions and photographs made by C. W. M. Cox and A. Cameron in the course of a systematic survey of the Tembris Valley monuments in May, 1926. For the notes on nos. 253 and 254 Calder and Cox are jointly responsible, for those on nos. 232 and 233 Cox, and for the remainder Calder. The letters C. Co. indicate the copyist.

page 22 note 1 Further investigations by C. W. M. Cox and A. Cameron in 1926 revealed extensive quarrying of ‘Docimian’ marble at several points on the edge of the plain. The quarry discovered in 1924 at Kürd Köi is the deepest of several on the western and northern slopes of the hill rising above the village. No. 232 and the marked stones copied by Ramsay came from a chain of workings at the foot of the hills north of Chakyrsaz. [C. W. M. C]

page 23 note 1 Evidence collected in 1926 (numerous fresh blocks bearing quarry-marks of different dates, abandoned columns and colossi, graffiti of Christian and Jewish workmen on the quarry-walls) brings the Tembris quarries into line with those of Docimium as a source of supply of Synnadic marble The position of the quarry systems and the dispersion of ‘Docimian’ blocks over the eastern end of the plain leave no room for doubt that Soa lay on the Estate, of which it may have been the administrative centre.
