Extract
In May of the current year, while Professor W. M. Ramsay, accompanied by Mr. H. A. Brown and myself, was travelling in the Tchal district, we were informed at Demirdjikeui of the existence of ruins in or near Badinlar, three hours away to the north. In a previous year Professor Ramsay had paid a hasty visit to this village and seen nothing of importance: on this occasion fortune favoured us: for, visiting the village a day or two later, we were guided on Whit Sunday to the site of a small temple situate on a conical eminence, which fell on the further side to the southern bank of the Maeander, which here enters on one of the narrowest passes of its gorge. Only the platform on which the temple had stood remained in situ, and very few fragments could we find of columns or cornice: such as remained of the frieze showed by their formal regular ornament the Ionic of Roman period. Overlooking the river was a vaulted tomb, and traces of sarcophagi were apparent among the heaps of grey stone covering the summit of the hill.

In connexion with this goddess an inscription is there published (No. 7) from the mosque at Ortakeui, which Professor Ramsay had an opportunity of examining again this year. The first name appears now to be ΝΕΙΟ], but little light was thrown on the obscure 6th line: instead of ΚΕΚΟΛΛΟΙΓ …, Professor Ramsay read this year 
What ΤΟΝΓΛΟϒΟΡΟΝ, which was read on both occasions, may be, is hard to say: could it be ΓΛΟϒΦΡΟΝ and be a barbarous word, connected with γλύφω, and meaning an inscription? The last lines would then mean, ‘and I having been chastised erected the inscription as an offering to Leto the Mother.’

page 399 note 1 In Asia Minor every village has at least one hodja for each mosque, who leads the prayers and attends to the mosque, receiving a certain allowance from the village. Prof. Robertson Smith informs me that the case is different in Arabia, where any one of the villagers leads prayers, not a special functionary.
