SALOON.] GREEK SCULPTURES. 229 
No. 187. A fragment of a Greek inscription : it is a decree of the 
people of Athens in honour of Hosacharus, a Macedonian. This de¬ 
cree was passed in the Archonship of Nicodorus, in the 3d year of the 
116th Olympiad. (280.) 
No. 187*. Part of the capital of an Ionic column. (306*.) 
No. 187**. A circular altar, brought from the island of Delos. It 
is ornamented with the heads of bulls, from which festoons of fruit and 
flowers are suspended. (307.) 
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 in¬ 
scribed upon the urn, but that of the woman only is preserved, 
Ada. (110.) 
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 god¬ 
desses, Latona and Diana, in procession. Similar bas-reliefs, in a 
more perfect state, are preserved in the Albani collection. The temple 
which is here introduced, is probably that of Apollo, which stood in 
the street at Athens, called the “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 w ho is seated, and a man w T ho 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 Mixiades. (237.) 
No. 193. A bas-relief, representing a Bacchanalian group, found 
among the ruins of the theatre of Bacchus, on the south-west of the 
Acropolis. It consists of four figures, each carrying a thyrsus ; one of 
these is Bacchus, dressed in the Indian costume, who with his right 
hand is holding out a double-handled vase, into wdiich a female Bac¬ 
chante is pouring wine from a monota, or vase with one handle. On 
each side of these figures is an elderly Faun, in a dancing attitude, one 
of w T hom is glancing his eye at the contents of a large vessel of wine 
placed on the ground. (235.) 
No. 194. The upper part of the head of an Egyptian idol, in granite; 
the head is that of a lion, and is remarkable for being ornamented with 
a crown of serpents, similar to that which is spoken of in the Rosetta 
inscription. (105.) 
No. 195. A very large funeral urn, solid, and without any in¬ 
scription. It has three figures in bas-relief; the first of these is clothed 
in a tunic and is seated; the second is a warrior standing up and join¬ 
ing hands with the former; and the third is a boy carrying a large cir¬ 
cular shield. (228.) 
No. 196. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing a female figure 
seated in a chair, with a child standing by her side; the upper part of 
the woman is wanting. This fragment is probably part of a sepulchral 
monument. (162.) 
No. 197. A bas-relief, imperfect, representing a charioteer driving
