THIS Marble,, lately arrived from Rome, and 
now repofited in the noble Mu feu m o£ Sir Hans 
Sloane, is a moll .valuable. Piece of Antiquity, as 
exhibiting a eompleat Formula of a Chirograph, 
or Conveyance of one Part of a Burying-Piacc from 
ciie Fairuly to Another, but neither of them of any 
Note, feeming by their Agnomina to have been 
only Liberti , or defcended from fuch. Agricola 
indeed is a Roman Name, but thofe of his Wife 
Lacena , and his Son Frotus , are both Greek . 
By this Chirograph (Line 7th, 8tb, &c.) pie- 
rennius Agricola obtains from Titus Flavius Ar- 
temidorus^&Fkxghi to four Ollaria , which were 
Niches or Repofitories , wherein they placed Cine- 
raria, Urns, or Veffels of Stone, or Earth , con- 
taining the Afhes of the Dead, and were here in 
Number Fifty- three f ' 
Fabretti a indeed takes the Cineraria to have 
been Niches for receiving and keeping Urnas 
Up ideas 5 but Gut her ins de Jure Aianiunt 
(Lib. II. c. 24.) tells us, that Offuaria oil# a Cine- 
rarijs in eo differ unt, quod ha Cincres, ilia offa 
exciperent . Befides, if they were Niches, or the 
lame as Ollaria , the mentioning of them, as in this 
Infcription, would be an unintelligible Tautology 
and Spon (in his Mifcell. Antiq , Erudit. p. 290.} 
gives us the following Infcription, which leems ta 
put the Matter out of Difpute.
