wrote on them with the J'tylus : but all thefe are be- 
come a kind of cinder 5 and have likewife fuffer’d by 
the damps ; from both which circumftances they are 
now fo tender, that they break with the touch. 
In the fame place there have been met with three 
fmall bulls ; one of Epicurus, another of Zeno, and 
the third of Humachus ; with the names of each in- 
fcrib’d upon the bafts, in Greek letters. A little di- 
llant from the preceding fite has been difcover’d an- 
other noble building, with a fquare court belonging 
to it ; the inftde of which, alone, has been hitherto 
examin’d. This fquare is form’d with fluted columns 
made of brick that was flucco’d. In the angles were 
four terms of marble, with bulls upon them, in bronze, 
of the fineft manner, having the name of the Greek 
workman upon one of them. In the centre, betwixt 
the terms, there was a fmall fountain, form’d by a 
vafe ihap’d like a cockle-fhell, and fupported by a 
fmall fluted column. There have been likewife found 
three other bulls, large, and in bronze alfo, of the 
moll excellent workmanlhip. Within thefe few days 
the following things have been taken out of the fame 
fite ; to wit, a female llatue, fix palms high, perhaps 
a goddefs, tho’ without any attribute, and but of mid- 
dling workmanlhip ; two moll beautiful candlellicks, 
fix palms and an half high, exquifttely wrought in 
chas’d work ; other candlellicks, much damag’d by 
the fire and time ; many fragments in bronze, which, 
not having any particular merit, it is needlefs to de- 
feribe, except two fmall figures of fawns, that are 
finely executed. In the fame place was difcover’d a 
large fountain, lin’d throughout with lead ; round it 
were eleven heads of lionefles, out of which the water 
flow’d.
