Dalmatian horfe{for fuch we certainly had in Britain), 
it is in vain to inquire ; but neither of thefe conjec- 
tures is improbable. There are, I think, but two 
infcriptions in the Greek language as yet found in 
Britain ; but in the Latin language this foems to me 
the only one as yet difcovered in the ifland written ia 
Greek characters. 
Fig. 3. is a jug or jar (of trn alfo) containing four 
quarts one pint and of a quartern, wine mealure : 
its weight 7 ife 9 \ oz. It is the prsefericulum of an- 
tiquarians, a veffel ufed to bring the holy water, or

weighs 14 th 1 oz. (avoirdupois) and 1 1 dwts . amount-

were bought for, and afterwards fhared among, the 
foldiers of the fort. 
The ancients fometimes made their weights of 
Hone, and of different fhapes, round, rectangular, 
and conical : fometimes they were of marble, as 
thofe exhibited by Gruter, p. 221,222, (as Kemp 
quotes him), and that in the Monument a Kempt ana 3
