of the Greco-Roman Era in certain ancient Sites of Asia Minor. 69 
Ihave ventured ona fuller restoration of this fragment in my Fasciculus, 
recently published, on the hypothesis which I have developed in this part of the 
memoir, but rather in the way of prolusion than with any confident expectation 
of acquiescence, either in my view of the subject or my language, on the part of 
my learned readers.

The reader will find some important observations on this titulus in my second 
memoir,* on the basis of Depeysonnel’s copy, and given in a more expanded form 
in my first Fasciculus.f Since the publication of these notices, I have had the 
benefit of perusing Prof. Béckh’s{ edition of the copy published by Richter,§ 
and after him by Franck, with a most diffuse commentary.|| Both the travellers 
(Depeysonnel and Richter) enjoyed the advantage of studying the marble in an 
incomparably more perfect state than it exists at present; yet I cannot say that 
they have turned it to the best possible account, as very much remains to be done 
towards its restoration, even after the voluminous details of Franck, which Béckh 
himself seems to refer to with wonder. Some notion of their merit may be 
formed from the brief judgment pronounced upon them by the learned Professor : 
Franckius... . . processit longius quam fiert potest, et aliquot locis aberravit 
manifesto: quare ejus supplementa magna ex parte non reddidi. 
I have lately compared in detail the readings of my copy, so far as it extends, 
with those of the abovementioned travellers, and propose laying the result, at no 
distant period, before the Public, in a second Fasciculus of the inscriptions of 
Asia Minor. In the mean time the reader is requested to cancel all the notices 
with respect to the date of this Sardian monument which occur in pages 132— 
135, and in particular, the remarks in page 134, on the 8th, 17th, and 18th 
lines.

Smith offers this conjecture in his work on the churches of Asia] I feel at 
a loss to divine what grounds my venerable predecessor could have had for one
