Note du spécialiste

Müller travelled to Asia Minor in September 1843. He had been recommended to go to Lycia by the archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows (1799-1860) who had recently returned and invited Müller to accompany his fourth expedition to Turkey. Müller travelled there independently accompanied by his pupil Harry John Johnson (1826-1884), meeting Fellows' expedition on 22 October 1843 at Xanthus. He stayed there for three months, making excursions up the valley to Tlos, one of the principal cities of ancient Lycia, and drawing the local scenery extensively.
