I. WHEN I last had the honour to address the Academy, it will be recollected, 
that I comprised within the memoir then submitted to its notice, a selection of 
the most remarkable details connected with the tituli which I copied from ex- 
isting monuments on the Apocalyptic sites.* These I was induced, from the 
extreme degree of interest attached to their localities, to consider in one and the 
* The mention of these tituli suggests a subject which might appear to be well worthy of dis- 
cussion in a separate memoir, but is here adverted to, for the sake as well of the correction of an- 
tecedent statements, as of the additional illustration which it involves. 
I refer particularly to the observations made in my first Memoir on the eighth and twentieth of 
my series of inscriptions.* 
The marble on which the former of these was engraved was found by me in so dilapidated a state, 
as nearly to preclude all effort to decipher the characters. Accordingly, in offering the explanation 
Ihave done, I was forced to proceed in the way of conjecture much more than I could have wished. 
From this embarrassment I have been lately in a considerable degree relieved, by my having 
had an opportunity of consulting the work of De Peysonnel, which concludes with an account of a 
visit he made to Thyatira and Sardes, nearly a century ago, and contains a number of inscriptions 
which the learned traveller had copied from monuments in those sites, amongst which is the very 
titulus® which has occasioned me so much trouble; I say not oss of time, because even the tran- 
script which I was enabled to make has enabled me to present my readers, in a work especially de-
