in the Church of Nicholaef, upon a bas-relief,

The bas-relief is divided into two separate 
parts, placed one over the other, each afford- 
ing a different subject 1 . The lower division 
represents either the ceremony of Lectisternium, 
or the family of some person confined to his 
couch by sickness. A female figure is sitting 
by him in a chair ; and a child upon her left 
(1) The stone is six feet nine inches in length ; its breadth, two feet 
six inches.
