552 LAPIDARIUM SEPTENTRIONALE. 



" D(ece) B(omce) S(acrum), Dujjlfarii) n(umeri) explor( atorum ) 

 Bremen( iensium ) aram instituerunt n(umini) ejus, C. Gcejyfasio ?) 

 Charitino trib(uno). V(otum s(olverunt) l(ihentes) mferito.J" 



" iV (omine eiusj i.e. nuineri proposuit Hagenhuch apud Orellium ; 

 sed turn iribuni nomen casu primo positum esse deheret." 



We prefer nomine ejus to numini ejus, Ccepario to eitlier Ccepasio 

 or Ccepione, curante to Caio, or if the latter be adopted, eitlier 

 solvente, forming with. Charitino, &g. an ablative absolute, or solventes, 

 agreeing witb Duplarii, to solverunt. 



Prof. Hiibner's tribuni nomen casu primo positum will yield no 

 Latiii construction, unless we expand S solvit. 



In n. 576, a stone is figured that bears the following inscription : — 

 P • AEL • ERA 

 SINVS • TEIB. 



Dr. Bruce expands it thus: — "Fublius ^lianus Erasinus tribunus." 



Independently of the objection which may be urged against 

 .Mlianus as a nomen, this Tribime is probably the same mentioned 

 in n. 571, on a stone found at the same place, whence it appears that 

 we should read Publius ^lius Erasinus Tribunus. Prof. Htibner 

 states this conjecture in his Additamenta, p. 312, but Dr. Bruce does 

 not notice it in his Appendix. 



In nn. 906, 907, two stones, one of which was certainly, and the 

 other probably, found at Papcastle, are figured. The first bears the 



inscription : — 



* NSIYM * * * *

Dr. Bruce expands it thus: — [" Cu7ieus Erisionum Aballave\ nsium 

 ex voto po'suit qua/rto decimo Kalendas ef tertio decimo Kalendas 

 Novembres votum solvit libens merito Gordiano iterum et Pompeiano 

 Consulibus — and ofiers the following observations : — 



" Gordian III was consul for the second time, having Pompeianus as his col- 

 league, A.D. 241. 



" Why two days are named in this inscription, 19th and 20th of October, is 

 not known ; perchance the inscription may have been prepared to commemorate 

 the opening of a temple, and the ceremonies may have lasted that time." 



The second bears the inscription : —
