History of Mount Mausolus

Name shown on a manuscript map, probably done by a prospector, dated 1917. He must have been a classicist, because several of his names come from classical history. Mausolus, ruler of Caria (now Turkey) about 353 B.C., was commemorated by a magnificent tomb at Malicarnassus.
