72 Dr. Kennepy Baiwie’s Researches amongst the inscribed Monuments 
while the marble was in a far more perfect state than at present. The result of 
this comparison I have published in my Fasciculus.* Professor Bockhf also has 
edited it from Depeysonnel’s book and the MSS. of Sherard, Spanheim, and Pro- 
kesch. The principal result, independently of certain improved readings, has 
been a more accurate determination of the date of the inscription. The Procon- 
sul named in the central division is Egnatius Lollianus, whose second proconsul- 
ship dated in the time of Hadrian, not Gentianus L. as Depeysonnel copied it, 
thus carrying the date forward to the reign of Septimius Severus ; at least pro- 
bably so, as appears from the note on this subject in my Fasciculus.f 
The copy made by Depeysonnel agrees with mine in the reading EJIIQ — - — 
in the last line but one of the third column. From this I had concluded that a 
new term (€i@o77) should be introduced into the nomenclature of the sepul- 
chral monuments.§ It is but fair to add, however, that the copies of Sherard 
and Prokesch are adverse to this supposition, so that the evidence is pretty evenly 
balanced.

The name mentioned in this paragraph, Olnetizi, was clearly defined on the 
marble, as appears from the copy of the titulus here referred to in my Fasciculus,|| 
as also that of Prokesch, which has been published by Boéckh.q{_ The latter has, 
however, thought proper to alter the A to A, and by this change to elicit the 
sense @ ay ere GavTes ol Tpoyeypappmevor cvyxopnowct. I should at once ac- 
cede to this, the more readily as it is to a certain extent sanctioned by my first 
copy;** were it not for the certainty that the substitution is unauthorized by the 
marble. The engraver might, it is true, have committed an error, or represented 
A by A, as was sometimes done, and these are the only suppositions which can 
make the above resolution probable.
