GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. [ELGIN 
No. 203. A decree of the people of Tenos, in honour 
of Ammonius, their benefactor: this decree is directed to 
be engraved on marble, and affixed in the temple of Nep¬ 
tune and Amphitrite. Strabo and Tacitus mention a cele¬ 
brated 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 Neptune. Nep¬ 
tune and his symbols frequently occur on the coins of 
Tenos. (231.) 
No. 204. A fragment of a bas-relief, on which are re¬ 
presented part of the skin of an animal and the branch of 
a tree. (158.) 
No. 205. Fragment of a Greek inscription, very imper¬ 
fect. (176.) 
No. 206. A fragment of a Greek inscription, engraved 
in very ancient characters. It seems to be a treaty be¬ 
tween the Athenians and the people of Rhegium, a town 
of the Bruttii, in Italy. (282.) 
No. 207. A small statue of a boy, imperfect; he is in 
the attitude of looking up. (293.) 
No. 208. A sepulchral column of Mysta: the Greek 
inscription informs us that she was a native of Miletus, 
daughter of Dionysius, and wife of Rhaton, who was a 
native of Thria, a town belonging to the tribe of CEneis. 
(HI.) 
Nos. 209—218. Ten objects of small dimensions : they 
represent (with two exceptions) various parts of the human 
body, and have been offered up as vows to Jupiter Hyp- 
sistos, praying for the cure of diseases in those parts, or 
in gratitude for cures already received. The part of the 
body which had received a cure has been broken off from 
No. 212; but the inscription implies, that Syntrophus 
presents it as a mark of his gratitude to Jupiter Hypsistos. 
No. 213 is a prayer in behalf of Euphrosynus. (247* 245, 
249, 252, 241, 251, 248, 246, 253, 250.) 
Nos. 219, 220. Two pieces of the architrave belonging 
to the temple of Erechtheus at Athens. (291, 85.) 
No. 221. A fragment of a boy, holding a bird under 
his arm, and feeding it. (81.) 
No. 222. A sepulchral column, inscribed with the 
name of Botrychus, son of Euphanus, and a native of 
Heraclea. (278.)
