84 Dr. Kennepy Baitie’s Researches amongst the inscribed Monuments 
Whether the marble (now part of the city wall) is to be recognized as a frag- 
ment of a pedestal, an honorary tablet, or an altar, it were difficult to determine. 
We may suppose the former. When the statue of Metrodorus Demetrius had 
been erected, it is probable that a vacant space had been left for one of Ammia 
on the same pedestal, te be accompanied by a corresponding titulus. It thus 
became unnecessary to re-engrave the first line of the inscription relative to her 
deceased husband, H BOYAH, &c., which it was left to the reader to transfer 
from thence, so as to complete the construction. 
With this the reading in the ninth verse (as I have arranged it in the Memoir, 
but which should appear as the first of the titulus of Ammia) corresponds. My 
copy of this exhibits METP - - - - - YI - -, with the last three characters ex- 
tremely faint. Inow propose to restore it, METHAAAXXYIAN (pernAAaxviar), 
and to interchange it with the line common to both tituli, H BOYAH, &c., sub- 
stituting also for the genitive AHMHTPIOY, in the eleventh line (as marked 
in the Memoir), the accusative AHMHTPION, for which also I have the sanc- 
tion of my first copy. 
I proceed to lay before the reader the result of these changes, exhibiting the 
tituli as they appeared on the marble:

The Senate and the People have decreed this honour, even after his decease, to Metrodorus 
Demetrius, son of Metrodorus in consideration of his exemplary life, his munificence in the discharge 
of his public duties, aud his alacrity, manifested alike in the fulfilment of his magisterial functions, in 
his engagements, his superintendence of public works, and his other services rendered to the city of 
his birth; [as also] suitable and becoming honours, even after her decease, to Newra Ammia,* daugh- 
ter of Menecles, who had been the wife of Metrodorus Demetrius, son of Metrodorus, in considera- 
tion of her life of sobriety and decorum. 
* Or Ammias; see Béckh, n. 2748, vy. 5. I retain the proper feminine termination of the first 
declension.
