it is the latter part of a decree in honour of a room xv 
person who had deserved well of some particular Antiquities 
city. It is directed, that the decree shall be en¬ 
graved on marble, and placed in the temple of 
Neptune and Amphitrite. It appears, from the 
inscription immediately following, that the city 
here alluded to was that of the island of Tenos. 
Strabo and Tacitus mention a celebrated temple 
that was dedicated to Neptune in this island, 
and it is highly probable that the same temple 
was dedicated to Amphitrite, as well as to Nep¬ 
tune. Neptune and his symbols frequently occur 
on the medals of Tenos. 
No. 231. A decree of the people of Tenos, 
in honour of Ammonius, their benefactor : this 
decree, like the last, is directed to be engraved 
on marble, and affixed in the temple of Neptune 
and Amphitrite. 
No. 232. A fragment of a decree of the people 
of Tenos, in honour of some benefactor, whose 
name is not preserved on the marble. 
No. 233. A fragment of a public act of the 
Athenians ; it consists of twenty-one imperfect 
lines, and seems to relate to the repair of the 
pavements and roads in the neighbourhood of 
Athens. 
No. 234. A fragment of a public act relating 
to the people of Athens and Myrina. 
No. 235. A bas-relief, representing a Bac¬ 
chanalian group, found among the ruins of the 
theatre of Bacchus, on the south west of the 
Acropolis.
