204 GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. [ELGIN 
No. 228. A sepulchral column, with an inscription to 
the memory of Biottus, who was the son of Philoxenus, 
and a native of Diradium. (275.) 
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, re¬ 
presenting 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 atti¬ 
tude 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

No. 235. A fragment of a decree made by a Society 
which is distinguished by a number of epithets, among 
which are two derived 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
