Synopsis
Excerpt from Lydian Inscriptions
The inscriptions published here are those which can be interpreted and translated to some extent; they are almost all of them funerary inscriptions. Out of the 34 texts found by the American Excavations only 15 have been edited here. Of the remaining 19 texts a good many are small fragments or give only a few letters representing masons' marks or the like. But about half a dozen of rather long, well carved Lydian inscriptions, some of which are in perfect condition, have been reserved for the future publication since they cannot be translated as yet. The numbers which all these in scriptions were given at Sardis, i. E. L(ydian) 1 — 34, have been kept in this Publication because the vocabulary of all Lydian words and the lists of endings and forms which I made at Sardis in 1913 were made on the ground of this numbering; it was there? Fore impossible to rearrange the inscriptions according to their ages or their contents and to change all the numerous quotations in my vocabulary and in my lists of forms and endings. During the year of 1913 I was entirely occupied by other work so that I could not devote any time to the Lydian inscriptions. The present Part was prepared and written during the months from May to August 1914. Its publication has been delayed for so long a time by the War.

These inscriptions offer glimpses into Lydian society, culture, and religious beliefs, shedding light on the lives and deaths of the people who once inhabited this influential kingdom.
