sacrifice of Trojan captives at the funeral pyre of Patroclus. On 
the cover are engraved three Nereids, riding on marine monsters, and 
carrying the armour of Achilles. The whole is surmounted by a group 
in the round of a Satyr and a Maenad. This cista is remarkable for the 
masterly drawing of the figures in the frieze, and the interest of the 
subject. Found at Palestrina. (Eaoul-Rochette, Mon. Ined.pl. xx. 1.). 
Formerly in the Durand and Eeville Collections.

specimens of Greek palaeography of which the date can be fixed.
