inscription presents us with the following names: Archa- 
goras, Pythyllis, and Poly stratus. (274.) 
No. 183. A sepulchral column inscribed with the 
name of Socrates, son of Socrates, and a native of An- 
cyra, a city of Galatia. (164.) 
No. 184. A sepulchral column of Menestratus, the 
son of Thoracides, and a native of Corinth. (168.) 
No. 185. A Greek inscription, imperfect, contain¬ 
ing an account of the treasures of some temple, pro¬ 
bably those of the Parthenon. The characters which we 
see on this marble are of a much more modern form 
than in the inscription of the same kind, No. 379. 
(216.) 
No. 186. A sun-dial, with four different dials repre¬ 
sented on as many faces. The inscription imports that 
it is the work of Phaedrus, the son of Zoilus, a native 
of Pseania. From the form of the letters of this inscrip¬ 
tion, the sun-dial cannot have been made much earlier 
than the time of the Emperor Sever us. It was found 
at Athens. (285.) 
No. 187. A fragment of a Greek inscription: it is 
a decree of the people of Athens in honour of Hosa- 
charas, a Macedonian. This decree was passed in the 
Archonship of Nicodorus, in the 3d year of the 116th 
Olympiad. (280.) 
No. 188. A solid urn, or cenotaph, in the front of 
which two figures, a man and a woman, are represented 
joining hands. The former is standing, the latter is 
seated. The names of both were probably inscribed 
upon the urn, but that of the woman only is preserved, 
Ada. (110.) 
No. 189. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing a 
procession of three figures, the last of which carries a 
large basket on his head: they are accompanied by 
two children. (284.) 
No. 190. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing 
two of the goddesses, Latona and Diana, in proces¬ 
sion. Similar bas-reliefs, in a more perfect state, are 
preserved
