fifty-five lines remain. It is written in the Boeotian 
iEolic dialect, and is a treaty between the cities of Orcho- 
menus in Boeotia and Elataea in Phocis, respecting some 
payments due from the Orchomenians to the Elataeans. 
These payments were for the rent of certain pastures 
which the people of Elataea had let out to the Orchome¬ 
nians. The treaty confirms the payment of the stipulated 
sums, and renews the treaty of pasturage for four years.

No. 378. A Greek inscription, engraved on two sides 
of a tablet of marble.. It is a decree of the council of the 
Boeotians, ordaining the election of three extraordinary 
magistrates, who, in concert with the ordinary magistrates, 
were to take charge of the re-casting of some articles of 
gold and silver, belonging to the temple of Amphiaraus, 
and which had been injured by the effects of time. 
(302.) 
No. 379- A Greek inscription, imperfect, engraved in 
very ancient characters; it seems to be an inventory of 
some treasures, probably those contained in the Parthenon,

tion not only fills one side of the marble, but also the 
right edge. (200.)

and Cephisodorus the son of Aglaophaedas, who had both 
been victorious in the choruses of men. (83.) 
No. 382. Fragment of a Greek inscription, very im¬ 
perfect. (186.) 
No. 383. A bas-relief, imperfect; it represents three 
goddesses, one of whom is seated on a throne. (108.) 
No. 384. A sepulchral stele, in which an equestrian 
figure, with an attendant on foot, is represented in bas- 
relief. Above the figures is an inscription, consisting of 
three verses, of which the second is a pentameter, and the 
two others hexameters ; they record the name of the de¬ 
ceased, Aristocles, who was the son of Menon, and a native 
of Piraeus. (213.)
