other ; horsemen, &c. On Nos. 39 and 46 will be seen Asiatics wear- 
ing the pointed cap called cidaris , and long tunics, fighting against 
Greeks. On No. 45 is a warrior to whose shield is attached the object 
called by Homer Xa/^iav, and used as a protection for the legs against 
missiles. 
Nos. 50 — 68. The narrow frieze which ran round the upper part 
of the base. On Nos. 50, 51, 52, 53, is seen the attack of the town 
and main gate of a city, supposed to be Xanthus; this gate is de- 
fended by a low flanking tower with windows; the besiegers have 
planted a scaling ladder, which two warriors are supposed to be hold- 
ing on securely by ropes. Three hoplites, having taken off their 
sandals, are seen mounting the ladder, a fourth has already marched 
into the tower, the other troops, called on by their officers, advance 
rapidly to the attack. Nos. 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, represent a general 
combat between Greeks, some armed as hoplites, against others wearing 
long tunics. Nos. 60, 61, a walled city with its buildings, within which 
are tombs and temples, and the heads of the besieged looking over the 
battlements. On No. 62, a Persian satrap or monarch seated, supposed 
to be Harpagus, attended by his guards and a slave holding over 
his head an umbrella, — the emblem of sovereignty, — receiving a depu- 
tation of two elders from the besieged city. Nos. 65, 66, sally 
from the town ; the garrison appear on the walls, while the women 
throw up their arms shrieking in despair. No. 67 is supposed to be 
the retreat of the defeated Lycians into the city.

decorated with a double band of egg and tongue ornament : on the 
corner ones are sculptured the antefixal ornament. 
Nos. 70 — 74. Columns and portions of columns from the peristyle 
of the building. 
Nos. 75 — 84. Statues which were placed in the intercolumniations : 
they represent females having at their feet marine emblems, such as a 
dolphin, crab, eel, and the sea bird halcyon, and passing through the 
air rapidly, as we see by the action of the drapery. These figures are 
supposed to have reference to the arrival of Latona, with her children, 
Artemis and Apollo, at Xanthus, or to the naval victory over Eva- 
goras. 
Nos. 85 — 91. Fragments of similar figures.

the building, with capitals of leaves and fleurons. 
Nos. 95 — 105. The narrow frieze which was disposed round the

clining upon couches, served with wine and attended by female singers 
and musicians, and a sacrifice of rams, bulls, and goats. 
Nos. 106 — 109. Six of the lacunaria or coffers of the ceiling,

architectural ornaments, consisting of an egg and tongue moulding, ante- 
fixal ornaments, &c., were painted on them. 
Nos. 110—123. The narrow frieze which is supposed to have gone
