8. The following inscription is on a sarcophagus, or stone coffin, 

 which was found at York several years ago and is now preserved 

 in the Museum of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society :

 DO.A' MATER- E- C- 



In removing it when found, it was unfortunately broken, and the'

 fect, was MEMOSIAL" for MEMORIALE, but the author has not met with that
