GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. 
[ELGIN 
No. 229. A sepulchral stele, with a bas-relief, representing a man 
clothed in a tunic. The inscription over this figure records the name 
of Erasippus, who was the son of Callinicus, and a native of CEum in 
Attica. (212.) 
No. 230. A solid sepulchral urn, with a bas-relief, representing 
five figures, executed in a singularly rude style. The first of these 
figures is a boy carrying a large circular shield, the second is a warrior 
joining hands with a third person, who is seated before him : the group 
is completed by the introduction of a child, and of a female whose 
attitude evinces a dejected state of mind. Over the warrior is the 
name of Sosippus, in Greek letters. (239. ) 
No. 231. The capital of an Ionic column, from the temple of . 
Diana, at Daphne. (80. ) 
No. 232. The upper part of the shaft of a small Ionic column. 
^ No? 233. The capital of a Corinthian column. (308*.) 
No. 234. A fragment of a Greek inscription ; it is too imperfect 
to admit of a full explanation, but it seems to have been in honour of 
a person who had distinguished himself on some occasion by great 
humanity. (170.) . . , . ! 
No. 235. A fragment of a decree made by a society which is 
distinguished by a number of epithets, among which are two deiived 
from the names of Hadrian and Antoninus. The Society appears to 
have been formed of musicians, and the decree to have been passed 
in honour of Bacchus and the Emperor Antoninus Pius. A patera is 
represented on the upper part of this marble. (161.) 
No. 236. A sepulchral inscription, in six elegiac verses, to a young, 
man of the name of Plutarchus, who died in Ausonia, at a distance 
from his native country. (242. ) 
No. 237. A Greek inscription, imperfect. (287.) 
No. 238. An amphora. (215.) 
No. 239. An unknown female head, the hair of which is con- 
cealed within a close head-dress. (122.) 
No. 240. A fragment of an unknown female head. (255. ) 
No. 241. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing an unknown 
female head : from the style of the hair, which is curiously plaited, we 
may fix the sculpture to about the time of Antoninus Pius. (123.) 
No. 242. A head of the bearded Hercules. (120.) 
No. 243. A head of the bearded Hercules, similar to the last, but 
of larger dimensions. (117.)

No. 245. A female torso, covered with drapery. (296.) 
No. 246. A large head. (263.) , 
No. 247. An unknown bearded head, very much mutilated : it is 
larger than life, and is crowned with a very thick cord- shaped diadem. 
(I 19 -) . , , 
No. 248. The head of a middle-aged man, with a conical bonnet; 
it appears to have had very little beard, and is most probably the heac 
of a mariner. (116.) . 
No. 249. A fragment of a head, crowned with vine leaves; i 
appears to have been executed at a declining period of the arts, 
( 121 .)
