rum non est, si Graeca pariter ac Latina lacunis scatent , et sub 
fiuem plane deficiunt. Argumentum tamen, commune utrique inscri- 
ptioni, vel inter has verborum luxationes satis clare intelligi potest: 
agitur de finibus regionum, Apollini Delphico consecratarum, seeundum 
antiquam Hieromnemonum ex auctoritate M’ Acilii et 5. R. factam 
déterminationem, rursus jussu Imperatoris Romani per di bg Augu- 
sti ab omni ambiguitate vindicandis. 
Sed, age, describamus utramque inscriptionem, quatenus qui- 
dem legimus, ita, ut Latinis Graeca in pagina adversa opponamus, quo 
facilius similitudo, et in summa re, et in singulis dicendi formulis ob- 
via, uno obtutu dispiciatur. 
Ruins of Delphi. Some very long inscriptions are also still left on the 
walls, which form part of his granary, an which almost cover one side 
of a neighbouring cow- house. The proprietor turned out the cattle, and 
gave me « light, which enabled me to copy a Greek and Latin inscription; 
and as only a part of it has been published, it will be inserted in the Ap- 
pendix. It was howewer in so mutilated a state, besides being in aninver- 
ted position, that I copied it with the greatest difficulty. 
Near the same place is a fine inscription, on a block of white marble, 
of which I was enabled to decipher the greater part, though it has been 
much defaced In this, as well as in some other inscriplions, the word 
Teromnemon frequently occurs. Et quae in nota 1} dicit: Dr: Clarke in the 
sixth chapter of the fourth Vol. of his Travels, has published the first six 
Lines of the Latin inscription, but he says, ,,that when he found what the 
J'atique would be of making an exact copy of the whole, he had not the cou- 
rage to attempé it. — Both the Greek and the Latin inscriptions scem 
£o have been made in the tème of one of the Roman emperors, whose na- 
me is not howewer seen upon them. They are decrees relative to bounda- 
ries ; in the Latin inscription Cirrha and Anticyra are mentioned. On the 
same slab is another Greek inscription in very minute characters, the grea- 
ter part of which is under ground >; they merit a full investigation, and 
ät is hoped that future travellers will supply the deficiency of those who 
have gone before them.
