frame at the outer edge is about thirty three inches 
long. And from the fize of the inner edge of the 
border, each fide whereof is twenty inches and a 
half in length, it is fuppofed that the hone, which 
contains the infeription, was at firft placed behind 
it, and fupported by it. And as that infeription was 
erected in honour of Hercules , it might originally 
belong to the ftone building, whofe foundation is 
yet vifible, and which might have been a temple 
confecrated to that deity by the perfons named in 
the infeription ; as was conje&ured in the former ac- 
count given of it. A draught of this frame and bor- 
der in their prefent ftate, taken by a fcale of one fixth 
of the original (i), now in the poffelfion of Dr, 
Mead , is prefixed to this difeourfe (a). There was like-

the Errata of the Phil. TranJ. N. 474, which were put under 
the Contents of N. 475. That whereas the draught of the Roman 
infeription mentioned in p. 201, is there faicl to have been taken by a 
fcale of o ne fourth of the original ; it was afterwards reduced by the 
ingraver in the plate to near one fixth. And in that proportion it is to 
be compared with the draught of the frame here giver), wherein it 
is fuppofed to have been antiently placed.
