GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. [ELGIN 
No. 202. A votive Greek inscription, dedicated by 
Gorgias the Gymnasiarch. (224.) 
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. (178.) 
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* Small statue of Ganymede; part only of the 
eagle's claw remains upon the left thigh. (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. 
on.) 
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
