190 GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. [ELGIN 
account of the treasures of some temple, probably those of 
the Parthenon. The characters which we see on this 
marble are of a much more modern form than in the in¬ 
scription 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 Phsedrus, the son of Zoilus, a native of 
Paeania. From the form of the letters of this inscription, 
the sun-dial cannot have been made much earlier than 
the time of the Emperor Severus. 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 Hosacharas, 
a Macedonian. This decree was passed in the Archon- 
ship of Nieodorus, in the 3d year of the 116th Olym¬ 
piad. (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. 
(no.) 
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 procession. Similar 
bas-reliefs, in a more perfect state, are preserved in the Al- 
bani collection. The temple which is here introduced, is 
probably that of Apollo, which stood in the street at Athens, 
called “ The Tripods.” (103.) 
No. 191. A fragment of the upper part of a sepulchral 
stele. (95.) 
No. 192. A solid funeral urn, of large dimensions. 
It has a bas-relief in front, representing two figures 
joining hands; these figures consist of a female who is 
seated, and a man •who is standing before her. The 
Greek inscription gives us the names of both persons: 
one is Pamphilus, the son of Mixiades, and a native of 
iEgilia; and the other is Archippe, the daughter of Mixi¬ 
ades. (237.)
