SIR Wm. R. HAMILTON, LL.D., President, in the Chair. 



Present, His Excellency Earl De Grey, Lord Lieutenant, 

 Visitor of the Academy. 



Dr. Kennedy Bailie read in continuation the Account of 

 his Researches in Ancient Teos and Aphrodisias, in Asia 

 Minor. 



Previously to entering on his selection of notices with 

 respect to the Teian, &c. inscriptions, he thought it proper 

 to offer a few remarks on that part of his former essay which 

 relates to the subject of the inscriptions from Sardes and 

 Pergamus. 



The passages more particularly referred to are those in 

 pages 132-4, and 149-50, o.n which certain observations were 

 made either explanatory of, or modifying, the author's con- 

 clusions, as expressed therein. The result in the case of the 

 Sardian titulus has been, that it must no longer be consi- 

 dered as referrible to the ages of Hadrian or of the Antonines, 

 as he was at first led to suppose ; and in that of the Perga- 

 menian, that the document may he so interpreted as not to be 

 in anywise connected with the question of Hadrian's adoption 

 by Trajan. 



The new readings illustrative of these points were sub- 

 mitted to the notice of the Academy. 



The author then proceeded to a detail of his researches on 

 the sites of the ancient Teos and the neighbouring port-town 

 of Cherraeidas, which is mentioned by Strabo. This last he 

 considers as occupied by the modern village of Sighadjek. 



The most interesting of the inscriptions which he brought 

 from these sites is a fragment of one of an early date, at 

 least coeval with those which ChishuU has published in his 

 celebrated work on the Antiquities of Asia, from copies
