May, there were found a mirror, three tefferae, flri~ 
gils, and fome very fm all fibulae of bone. In the 
above-mentioned fepulchre was found a fmall lec- 
tifternium, or rather pulvinar deorum, which was 
very much decayed. It is mounted in iron. The 
ornaments, which compofe it, being of ivory, the ruft 
of the iron hath as it were deftroyed the whole. So 
that there were collefted but a few remains of the 
four pillars, fome pieces of the bands, which went 
round the frame, eight pieces of ivory, of an oblong 
form, in each of which was engraved a figure of 
fome unknown deity, all of the fame defign, but in 
a bad ftyle ; and two heads of a horfe, which are 
fellows, and belong to the ledtifternium, not unlike 
that great one of brafs, which is now in the royal 
mufeum. There were found alfo feveral little vafes 
of earthen ware, whofe form is this : They have a 
long neck, with a mouth proportionably ftreight ; the 
body is oval, which towards the bottom is fio fmall, 
that they cannot Hand upright. The misfortune is, 
that two of thefe vafes, which are of oriental ala- 
bafter, and of the moil excellent workmanfhip, are 
both broken in the middle. 
Near this fepulchre there was opened another, be- 
longing to the freed men of thePavillia family. There 
we found many glafles and pieces of earthen tvare, 
and two mod beautiful earthen lamps. On one of 
them there is an Hercules going to flay a ferpent 
with his club, which he holds in his left hand. On 
the other, there is a priefiefs of Bacchus, which in 
one hand holds the facrifical knife, and in the other 
the half of a vidtim. Befides there are two verv fmall 
j 
wine-glafies, which contain, the one a liquor of the 
colour
