Cyzicus
Cyzicus
F. W. Hasluck (1878–1920) was an English archaeologist interested in the history of Asia Minor. Based in the British School of Athens for much of his career, he was appointed Assistant Director of the School between 1911 and 1915. After assisting with a survey of the city of Cyzicus and its surrounding area between 1902 and 1906, he published this history of the city as part of the Cambridge Archaeological and Ethnological Series in 1910. By char…

Columns of Ordeal
No self-respecting Cairene dragoman omits to point out to his clients among the curiosities of the mosque of Amr at Fostat two columns near the South door, which are endowed, according to popular superstition, with the miraculous power of discriminating between true Moslems and Unbelievers. Placed at such a short distance apart (some ten inches) that the passage between them can with difficulty be negotiated by a man of average build, the columns…
Heterodox Tribes of Asia Minor
Professor von Luschan, in his Huxley lecture on Early Inhabitants of Asia Minor? has done much to bring order into our ideas of the still insufficiently known ethnological and religions divisions of that country.His studies are based mainly on his personal observations, and his point of view is for the most part that of a physical anthropologist.His predecessors in field work, dealing generally with narrower areas, have produced a great mass of l…
The Rise of Modern Smyrna
The sharp contrast which is apparent to-day between the fortunes of Smyrna and of her sister ‘Churches of Asia’ has long been brought into connection with the prophecies contained in the Revelation of S. John. While the apocalyptic messages to the other Churches are minatory or equivocal, Smyrna is favoured by the promise of a ‘crown of life’ on condition of ‘faithfulness to the end,’ a condition vaguely felt to have been fulfilled by the steadfa…

The Mosques of the Arabs in Constantinople
Two mosques in Galata—the Mosque of the Arabs ( Arab Djami ) and the Mosque of the Leaded Store ( Kurshunlu Maghzen Djamisi )—lay claim to be the earliest buildings consecrated to Moslem worship in Constantinople. Both are supposed to date from the period of the Arab sieges, many centuries before the Ottoman conquest. Their traditional claim to this honourable pedigree is of some antiquity. Evliya Effendi, in the middle of the seventeenth century…
Geographical Distribution of the Bektashi
In the following paper an attempt has been made to bring together scattered notices from printed sources regarding the geographical distribution of the Bektashi sect, as indicated by the position of existing or formerly existing convents of the order. I have further included such information on this subject as I have been able to obtain from my own journeys and enquiries (1913–15) among the Bektashi: nearly all this information is gathered from B…
Stone Cults and Venerated Stones in the Graeco-Turkish Area
The veneration of stones seems to have been world-wide at an early stage in religious development, and has left traces everywhere in the magical and ‘folklore’ practices of civilized peoples. Over the Semitic area stone worship, as such, survived later and more generally than among peoples more prone to anthropomorphism; and Islam, so far from being able to displace it, tacitly sanctioned it by allowing the reverence paid already by pagan Arabs t…
The ‘Tomb of S. Polycarp’ and the Topography of Ancient Smyrna
The history and authenticity of the so-called ‘tomb of S. Polycarp’ at Smyrna have lately formed the subject of a monograph by Père S. Lorenzo of the Order of S. Francis, who claims to have discovered the real church and tomb of S. Polycarp in a vineyard at some distance from the site tacitly accepted hitherto both by the Greek and Latin communities. The first section of the present paper attempts to trace as far as possible the history of the tr…
Thevet's Grand Insulaire and his Travels in the Levant
Two folio volumes in the Bibliothèque Nationale ( MS. Fr. 15, 452–3) contain an ambitious work by André Thevet on the islands of the world, entitled Le Grand Insulaire et Pilotage d'Andre Thevet, Angoumousin, cosmographe du Roy, dans lequel sont contenus plusieurs plants d'isles habitées et déshiabitées et description d'icelles . The date 1586 is scribbled on the back of one of the maps in vol. i. and checked by a reference on f. 112, which gives…
Dieudonné de Gozon and the Dragon of Rhodes
The story of the Rhodian knight Dieudonné de Gozon and the slaying of the great dragon of Malpasso is, largely owing to Schiller's adoption of the theme in a ballad, one of the best-known legends of its type. It is one of several instances in which an historical personage figures as the hero of this quite mythical adventure. Dieudonné de Gozon, a member of the Provençal langue , was the third Grand Master of the Knights of S. John at Rhodes, ruli…
Ambiguous Sanctuaries and Bektashi Propaganda
The stratification of cults at famous sanctuaries of the ancient world, reflected for the most part in their local mythology, has long been interpreted as evidence of the invasion of older by newer gods and religious systems. A religion carried by a conquering race or by a missionary priesthood to alien lands superimposes itself, by force or persuasion, on an indigenous cult: the process is expressed in mythological terms under the figure of a pe…
Note on Haidar, Khodja Achmet, Karadja Achmet
The local account of the Saint Haidar at Haidar-es-Sultan is given by Crowfoot as follows: ‘Haidar was the son of the king of Persia and came from a town named Yassevi; he was also called Khodja Akhmed and was the disciple of the famous Hadji Bektash. With the latter he travelled to Caesarea, and there took a Christian named Mēnĕ to wife, and together they came to the place of his tomb, where they begat children and died—the whole village claimin…
Studies in Turkish History and Folk-Legend
The Karaosmanoglou dynasty, which during the eighteenth century and part of the nineteenth ruled the province of Saroukhan (Magnesia) in Asia Minor, stands almost alone in Turkish history as an example of a family which not only won and retained a wide local supremacy, but was conspicuous for family solidarity and wise administration throughout its tenure of power. Of the numerous pretenders to independence who disputed the Sultans' sway during t…
Graves of the Arabs in Asia Minor
Among the Mahommedan religious antiquities of Asia Minor the tomb-sanctuaries held to represent the resting-places of Arabs killed during the forays of the viii–ix centuries form a well-marked and extremely interesting group. Their authenticity is on general grounds more than doubtful. The campaigns of the Arabs led to no permanent occupation: the lands they had conquered for the moment were restored to Christendom or fell to alien races. Only in…
The Forty.’
In Turkish geographical nomenclature certain ‘round’ numbers are regularly employed in an arbitrary sense. Most important of these are ‘a thousand and one’ ( bin bir ), used to express the idea of ‘countless,’ and ‘forty’ ( kirk ), which is similarly used for ‘numerous.’ As examples of the first may be cited the well-known ‘thousand-and-one-column’ ( Bin Bir Direk ) cistern at Constantinople and the ‘Thousand and one Churches’ ( Bin Bir Kilisse )…
Christianity and Islam under the Sultans of Konia
At the first appearance of the Ottomans, towards the close of the thirteenth century, Christian and Turk had already been living for two centuries side by side in the interior of Asia Minor under the rule of the Seljouk Sultans of Roum. The political history of this period is still emerging from obscurity: the social and religious history has hardly been touched. The Byzantine historians, concerned only incidentally with provinces already in part…
Contributions to the History of Levant Currencies
A find of French and Neapolitan mediaeval silver coins made recently in one of the southern Sporades, probably Kasos, attracted my attention in a jeweller's shop at Smyrna in the spring of 1912. In 1913 I found the same hoard with some additions in changed hands. I then managed to secure a representative selection and an analysis of the whole collection
Plato in the Folk-lore of the Konia Plain
The recognition of Plato by the Arab philosophers, and consequently by the Seljouks of Roum, has long been the accepted explanation of the fact that his name is popularly associated with a remarkable spring (Eflatoun Bounari = Plato's spring) with ‘Hittite’ ruins some fifty miles west of Konia, the Seljouk capital, and with a spring at Konia itself: the connection has not hitherto been made clear. Stray references to Plato in the description of t…
Datcha—Stadia—Halikarnassos
The opinion of Captain T. A. B. Spratt that the ruins at Datcha represent the Dorian city of Akanthos has naturally been adopted by subsequent cartographers as being that of the one man who has thoroughly explored the Knidian peninsula. The identification rests, like so many others, on slight evidence owing to the meagreness of ancient records concerning the city in question: added local knowledge makes another identification seem preferable. The…

Depopulation in the Aegean Islands and the Turkish Conquest
Antonio Di Millo is the author of an Isolario of which several copies have come down to us. Of these, two dated respectively (A) 1587 and (B) 1591 are preserved in the British Museum and a third (C) of 1590 in the Marciana at Venice. Two other copies, cited by Uzielli as existing at the Paris Bibliothèque Nationale, and the Biblioteca Municipale at Venice, seem to be no longer known at the libraries in question. The greater part of the text of th…

A Tholos Tomb at Kirk Kilisse
In the rather uninteresting landscape of the Thracian plains artificial mounds are almost everywhere a conspicuous feature. These mounds have long attracted the attention of archaeologists, but, on the Turkish side of the frontier at least, few have been scientifically explored. In Eastern Rumelia, where considerably more has been done, excavation has shewn that a large proportion of the mounds are places of burial, others representing, like the …
Genoese Heraldry and Inscriptions at Amastra
The town of Amastra ( anc. Amastris, med. Samastro), one of the most important of the ancient Greek colonies on the Euxine, and later a Genoese trading-post, lies on the neck and landward slopes of a steep peninsula forming a safe harbour on either side. The peninsula is connected by a bridge with an adjacent island, on which are a few houses still protected on the harbour side by the mediaeval town-wall. The bridge is defended on either side by …
Terra Lemnia
In ancient medical practice several sorts of natural earths, found at various places in the Levant and described in detail by Pliny and other writers, had recognised curative properties, being employed for the most part as astringents and desiccatives in the treatment of wounds and internal haemorrhages. Pliny's list includes the earths of Chios, Kimolos, Eretria, Lemnos, Melos, Samos, and Sinope. The use of many of these persisted into quite mod…
Bithynica
The following notes are the results of several journeys in the district between Brusa and Mihallitch, which, in spite of its accessibility, is archaeologically ill known. they deal with:— 1. The Byzantine Churches of Triglia and Syge. 2. The Byzantine fortresses: Caesarea Germanice, Katoikia, Koubouklia. 3. Besbicus-Kalolimno. 4. Inscriptions
A Roman Bridge on the Aesepus
The course of the Roman road along the southern shore of the sea of Marmora between Priapus and Cyzicus has hitherto been known only from the Peutinger table and from a single milestone (the thirteenth) found in a Turkish cemetery above Tchaoush-keui, not far therefore from its original position. The Peutinger table notes only one point between the places named—the crossing of the Granicus. That of the Aesepus, a much more important river, is sti…
Notes on Manuscripts in the British Museum relating to Levant Geography and Travel
A not unprofitable search among the manuscripts of the British Museum for travellers' accounts of Cyzicus and its neighbourhood, has persuaded me that an annotated list of those manuscripts which deal with Levantine geography may be a useful contribution to the bibliography of travel. It is needless to say that this paper has no palaeographical pretensions; such points as the dates of handwriting have been for the most part supplied me by Mr. J. …
Dr. Covel's Notes on Galata
Dr. Covel was chaplain to the Embassy at Constantinople from 1669 to 1677. Of his copious and interesting Journals, a portion, relating chiefly to his voyage and to political affairs at Constantinople, has been edited, with a portrait and biographical notice, by J. T. Bent, and published by the Hakluyt Society in 1893. The Journals were, in part at least, intended for publication, for Grelot refers to an expected work of Covel's on the walls of C…
Sculptures from Cyzicus
In the present paucity of archaic sculpture from Northern Asia Minor (from Cyzicus we have only the beautiful fragment of a chariot relief at Tchinly Kiosk) the much damaged relief of Heracles here reproduced (Plate IV. i) is not without its value. It was discovered during the demolition of the old Armenian Church at Aidinjik, a village about an hour from Cyzicus, on the mainland west of the isthmus: thanks to Mr. Th. Makrys of Panderma, who prov…
II.—Geraki
Some experimental excavations were carried out at Geraki (the ancient Geronthrae) between May 26 and June 6 of 1905. Geraki lies in the upland plain which includes practically the whole of east central Laconia extending from the left bank of the Eurotas to the foothills of Parnon: it is on the south and south-western slopes of one of these foothills—the ancient acropolis of Geronthrae, which we shall discuss later in detail—that the modern villag…

I.—Excavations Near Angelona
The village of Angelona lies amongst the hills surrounding the plain of Molai, midway between the latter and Monemvasia. About half an hour east of the village is a small plateau known as Kollýri; this plateau is bounded on its south-eastern side by a revma , tributary to the greater ravine which runs down to the sea south of the ruins of Epidaurus Limera. At the head of the revma is a perpetual spring of good water, and in its neighbourhood are …
Note on the Lion-Group From Cyzicus
Three years ago I published ( B.S.A. viii. 192, Pl. IV. 2 ) a fragmentary relief from Cyzicus representing two lions back to back, standing over two bulls, the whole forming a symmetrical ‘heraldic’ composition. While attempting to connect the group with the worship of Cybele Adrasteia, I overlooked at the time an article of Mr. Crowfoot's having a considerable bearing on the subject, and perhaps contributing to the solution of a question still u…
Inscriptions from Bizye
During a visit to Bizye (modern Viza) in February 1906, I gathered the inscriptions which are here published. Mr. Hasluck has supplied the initialled notes and restorations, and I am responsible for the texts only. R.M.D. Viza lies seventy miles to the north-west of Constantinople, and twenty miles to the west of the Black Sea. It was the seat of the chiefs of the Astai (whence ̓Αστική as a subdivision of Thrace), and afterwards of the Thracian k…

Supplementary Notes on British Museum Manuscripts Relating to Levantine Geography
To some additional notes on this series I have appended the accounts of Chios given in the three unpublished Isolarii, as samples of their style and scope. Chios is chosen as being the native island of Lupaz-zolo, the most important of the three authors

II.—Topography
The following paper deals with the historical geography and antiquities of the south-eastern promontory of Laconia from Acriae on the Laconic Gulf to Epidaurus Limera. Most of the country included being within easy reach of the sea, the ‘periplus’ arrangement has been followed, and a concordance of ancient geographers is prefixed to each of the sections
II.—Topography
This paper is a brief account of the classical topography of east-central Laconia. It includes all the country on the left bank of the Eurotas between Leonidi and Zarax with the exception of the small piece directly opposite Sparta and round Chrysapha. The whole of this district is not well watered and irrigation is not possible, for the fertile, undulating plain below Geraki is well above the level of the river; the olive tree, however, flourish…
Monuments of the Gattelusi
Professor Hopf left unfinished at his death a projected work which would have filled a marked gap in our knowledge of the Latin dynasties of the Archipelago—the history of Lesbos and its dependencies under the Gattelusi of Genoa. The possessions of the Gattelusi in their fullest extent included Lesbos, the Thracian islands of Thasos, Lemnos, Samothrace, and Imbros, and the mainland towns of Phocaea (Foggia Vecchia) in Ionia and Aenos in Thrace. T…
Albanian Settlements in the Aegean Islands
An investigation of the very scattered literature of the Greek islands, designed primarily to supplement Mr. Dawkins's researches on the dialects, has led me to unexpectedly interesting results touching the Albanian settlements, which may be worthy of independent publication. Besides printed sources I have consulted the Grand Insulaire of André Thevet (Paris, Bibl. Nat. MSS. Fr. 15, 453 (1586)) and the Isolarii of Antonio di Milo (B.M. (a) Julius…
Frankish Remains at Adalia
The city of Adalia on the Caramanian coast, still a very fine example of a mediaeval walled town, has been thrice attempted by western arms and was for twelve years garrisoned by the French kings of Cyprus. It was taken by Gautier de Montbeliard early in the reign of Hugues I. Lusignan (1205–18) but hurriedly abandoned. The warlike Pierre I. captured it in 1361 and it was held till 1373, when his successor, Pierre II. surrendered it. Lastly the ‘…

A French Inscription at Adalia
I am enabled this year, by the kindness of my friends M. N. Ferteklis (of Adalia) and Mr. A. M. Woodward, to supplement my account of Frankish remains at Adalia ( B.S.A. xv. 270) by the publication of a French inscription discovered and copied by M. Ferteklis and again by Mr. Woodward. The inscription is written on a slab of white marble about 1·20 m. square, in letters about ...08 m. high, built into the wall in the back yard of a shop about 100…
The Latin Monuments of Chios
The following is an attempt to present in one view the Italian and other western antiquities of the island of Chios. Some of these, as will be seen, have already been published, though for the most part in works not generally accessible: the others are the results of my own investigations in the island (1907–9). Like most other travellers in Chios I owe much to the kindness of residents and especially of M. Const. Kanellakes, who placed his unriv…

Heraldry of the Rhodian Knights, formerly in Smyrna Castle
The two white marble slabs shewn below (Figs. 2, 3), originally in the castle of S. Peter at Smyrna, are now built into the circular court of the prison, high up, facing the entrance from the street. I was first apprised of their whereabouts by the late Dr. Weber, who himself published them in the somewhat inaccessible ̔H μερολόγιον τῆς ̓Αμαλθεἰας. For access to the prison I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. E. Harris, Consul-General of the Unit…

The First English Traveller's Account of Athos
John Covel, afterwards Master of Christ's College, Cambridge, visited Athos from Lemnos on his way from Constantinople to England in the spring of 1677. His letter of recommendation from Nointel (which he hoped might be of use if he fell amongst French ‘privateers’) and his circular letter to the monasteries from Manolaki Petrovitzes are preserved in his correspondence. The Athos notes are bound partly in the Folio MS. ( Add. 22, 912) and partly …
