Nos. 160, 161. Two bas-reliefs, from the same 
temple: the combatants appear to be all Greeks. (259, 
260.) 
No. 162. Fragment of a Greek inscription, very im¬ 
perfect. (182.) 
No. 163. Ditto. (183.) 
No. 164. A bas-relief, representing a narrow upright 
vase with one handle : the form of this vase very much 
resembles that of the solid urns, so often used by the 
Greeks as sepulchral monuments. (276.) 
No. 165. A Greek inscription from Athens, signify¬ 
ing that certain gifts, which are specified, had been 
consecrated to some goddess, probably Venus, by a 
female who held the office of lighter of the lamps, and 
interpreter of dreams, in the temple of the goddess. 
The name of this female, which was no doubt inserted 
at the beginning of the inscription, is now lost. (88.)

sists of twenty lines of very ancient characters, and 
seems to be a part of a treaty. (286.) 
No. 168. A Greek inscription, imperfect, and very 
much defaced. It seems to be an inventory of valuable 
articles contained in some temple. (277.)

Eleusis. (173.) 
No. 170. A capital of a pilaster. (174.)

scription from the Acropolis : it contains an account of 
certain expenses defrayed by those to whom the care 
of the public games was confided. The name of 
the Archon, under whom the stone was engraved, is 
effaced. (159.)

wanting, and what remains is much mutilated. At
