FROM NICHOLAEF, 
CI j^ p - knee presents to him a small vessel, like a 
— y ' wine-glass. A similar vessel is represented 
upon a table by the couch: there are two 
other children, one on either side, in the fore- 
ground of the scene. In the upper division 
is a figure on horseback, holding an arrow, or 
lance, as if in the act of casting it; and before 
the horse is a boy with a dog, leaping at the 
horse: from all this it is probable that the 
upper part represents one of those stuffed 
equestrian figures, mentioned in p. 120, as 
being found near to the Bonjsthenes. Above 
the equestrian figure is the inscription already 
given. 
Since the publication of the first edition 
of this volume, Charles Kelsall, Esq. M. A. of 
Trinity College, Cambridge, has enriched the 
Collection of Qlbiopolilan Inscriptions by the 
addition of three others, found in the ruins of 
the place, and by him brought from that coun- 
try ’. The original marbles are now preserved 
(l) Mr. Kelsall is the author of “A Letter from Athens He has 
also published a very spirited translation of Cicero’s u Two last Plead- 
ings against Verresf illustrated with many valuable notes, containing 
an account of the Minor Sicilian Cities, Inscriptions, &c. To this last 
work, a Postscript is subjoined by the same author, with his inter- 
esting remarks on the state of Modern Sicily .
