ef them the goat-fkin on his fhoulder, wherein they 
antiently [ ut wine, and through which here the 
water iffued. The third boy is alfo of bronze, has 
lilver eyes, is of the fame fize with the two former, 
and in a ftanding pofture like them, but is not a fawn. 
On one fide of this lafi: flood a fmall column, upon 
the top of which was a comic malk, that ferved as a 
capital to it, and difcharged water from its mouth. 
All the figures before defcribed are two palms in 
height without their bafes. 
December i6, in the fame place were difcovered 
another boy, with another malk, and three other 
fawns j in all refpedfs like thofe, which were found 
the 27th and 29th of November, except that there 
was no tyger. Befides thefe we met with two little 
boys in bronze, fomewhat lefs than the former. 
Thefe likewife were in a ftanding pofture, had filver 
eyes, and held each of them a vafe, with handles, 
upon his fhoulder 5- from hence the water flowed. 
We alfo dug out an old fawn, crowned with ivy,, 
having a long beard, a hairy body, and. fandals on 
his feet. He fat aftride upon a large goat fkin, 
holding it at the feet with both his hands, from 
which had ifiued a larger quantity of water than 
from the others ; though the fawn himfelf is of the 
fame fize with the former. 
All the above-mentioned figures w'^ere taken out 
of a place not exceeding eight palms fquare, and. 
were covered with the ruins of the building : for 
they were not in a garden, but in a room paved with 
mofaic work, the remaining part of which we are 
now going on to examine. You may rely intirely 
upon what I write, as nothing can be moved from'
