human body, and have been offered up as vows 
to Jupiter Hypsistos, praying for the cure of 
diseases in those parts. Some of these bas-reliefs 
appear to have been presented by the parties in 
gratitude for cures already received. 
No. 252. A fragment of a bas-relief, similar 
to those just described. The part of the body 
which had received a cure has been broken off; 
but the inscription implies, that Syntrophus pre¬ 
sents it as a mark of his gratitude to Jupiter 
Hypsistos. 
No. 253. A fragment of a similar bas-relief; 
the inscription has been broken off, but the part 
represented is a foot.

to No. 243. 
No. 255. A fragment of an unknown female 
head. 
No. 256. The left knee of a colossal statue of 
very fine work: it has probably belonged to a 
figure in one of the pediments of the Parthenon. 
Nos. 257, 258. Two bas-reliefs, which formed 
part of the frieze of a temple of the Ionic order

to Aglauros. The subject represented on them 
is a combat between the Greeks and Persians. 
Nos. 259, 260. Two bas-reliefs, from the same 
temple : the combatants appear to be all Greeks.
