inscription immediately following, that the city 
here alluded to was that of the island of Tenos. 
Strabo and Tacitus mention a celebrated 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 Nep¬ 
tune. Neptune and his symbols frequently occur 
on the medals of Tenos.

and Amphitrite. 
No. 232. A fragment of a decree of the people 
of Tenos, in honour of some benefactor, whose 
name is not preserved on the marble. 
No. 233. A fragment of a public act of tlie 
Athenians; it consists of twenty-one imperfect 
lines, and seems to relate to the repair of the 
pavements and roads in the neighbourhood of 
Athens.

to the people of Athens and Myrina. 
No. 235. A bas-relief, representing a Bac¬ 
chanalian group, found among the ruins of the 
theatre of Bacchus, on the south west of the 
Acropolis. It consists of four figures, each car¬ 
rying 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 which 
a female Bacchante is pouring wine from a mo- 
nota.
