SALOON.] 
No. 133. The capital of an Ionic column belonging to a temple of 
Diana at Daphne, on the road from Athens to Eleusis. (A. 44.) 
No. 134. A piece of the shaft of an Ionic column, belonging to the 
same temple. (A. 45.) 
No. 135. The base of an Ionic column, likewise belonging to the 
same temple. (A. 46.) 
Nos. 136—149. Casts in plaster from the frieze of the pronaos of 
the temple of Theseus. The subject of this frieze is a battle fought in 
the presence of six divinities, who are represented sitting in the midst 
of the combatants. (A. 55—68.) 
Nos. 150—154. Casts in plaster from the frieze of the posticus of 
the same temple. The subject of these sculptures is the battle of the 
Centaurs and Lapithse. (A. 69—73.) 
Nos. 155—157. Casts in plaster of three of the metopes of the 
north side of the temple of Theseus at Athens. The first represents 
Theseus killing Creon, king of Thebes; the second, Theseus overcom¬ 
ing Cercyon, king of Eleusis, in a wrestling match; and the third, 
Theseus killing the Crommian sow. (A. 52—54.) 
Nos. 158, 159. Two bas-reliefs, which formed part of the frieze of 
a temple of the Ionic order (near the Propylaea at Athens), and dedi¬ 
cated to the Wingless Victory (Nike Apteros). The subject repre¬ 
sented on them is a combat between the Greeks and Persians. (258, 
257.) 
Nos. 160, 161. Two bas-reliefs, from the same temple: the com¬ 
batants appear to be all Greeks. (259, 260.) 
No. 162. Fragment of a Greek inscription, very imperfect. (182.) 
No. 163. Ditto. (183.) 
No. 164. A bas-relief, representing a narrow upright vase with one 
handle: the form of this vase very much resembles that of the solid 
urns, so often used by the Greeks as sepulchral monuments. (276.) 
No. 165. A Greek inscription from Athens, signifying that certain 
gifts, which are specified, had been consecrated to some goddess, pro¬ 
bably Venus, by a female who held the office of lighter of the lamps, 
and interpreter of dreams, in the temple of the goddess. The name of 
this female, which w r as no doubt inserted at the beginning of the in¬ 
scription, is now lost. (88.) 
No. 166. An agonistic inscription, in Greek, consisting of the 
names of those who had conquered in the foot race of the stadium, 
and double stadium ; in wrestling; in boxing; in the pancratium ; and 
pentathlum. (93.) 
No. 167. A fragment of a Greek inscription : it consists of twenty 
lines of very ancient characters, and seems to be a part of a treaty. 
No. 168. A Greek inscription, imperfect, and very much defaced. 
It seems to be an inventory of valuable articles contained in some tem¬ 
ple. (277.) 
No. 169. A fleuron, from the temple of Ceres at Eleusis. (173.) 
No. 170. A capital of a pilaster. (174.) 
No. 171. A fragment of a very ancient Greek inscription from the

Archon, under whom the stone was engraved, is effaced. (159.)
