SALOON.] 
No. 199. A cinerary urn, ornamented in front with four standing 
figures ; two of these in the centre, are joining hands, the other two are 
in a pensive attitude. The names of all the figures were originally in¬ 
scribed on the urn ; the first name is not legible; the others are Philia, 
Metrodora, and Meles. (148.) 
No. 199*. A bronze urn, very richly wrought. It was found in¬ 
closed within the marble vase in which it now stands, in a tumulus on 
the road that leads from Port Piraeus to the Salaminian ferry and 
Eleusis. At the time of its discovery, this beautiful urn contained a 
quantity of burnt bones, a small vase of alabaster, and a wreath of myrtle 
in gold. (300.) 
No. 199**. A large marble vase ; it is of an oval form, and within 
it was found the bronze urn described in the preceding number. (301.) 
No. 199***. A circular votive altar, ornamented with the heads of 
bulls, from which festoons are suspended. The inscription, in Greek, 
near the bottom, is a prayer for the prosperity arjd health of a person 
named Casiniax. (91.) 
No. 200. A small female figure, covered with drapery ; it is without 
a head. (90.) 
No. 201. A sepulchral column of Thalia, the daughter of Callistratus, 
of Aexone. (149.) 
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 Neptune and Amphitrite. 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 w T ell as to Neptune. Neptune and his symbols frequently 
occur on the coins of Tenos. (231. ) 
No. 204. A fragment of a bas-relief, on wdiich are represented part 
of the skin of an animal and the branch of a tree. (158. ) 
No. 205. Fragment of a Greek inscription, very imperfect. (178. ) 
No. 206. A fragment of a Greek inscription, engraved in very 
ancient characters. It seems to be a treaty between the Athenians and 
the people of Rhegium, a town of the Bruttii, in Italy. (282.)

remains upon the left thigh. (293.)

daughter of Dionysius, and wife of Rhaton, who was a native of 
Thria, a town belonging to the tribe of (Eneis. (111.) 
Nos. 209—218. Ten small votive tablets: they represent (with 
two exceptions) various parts of the human body, and have been 
offered up to Jupiter Hypsistos, 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 Hvpsistos. No. 213 is a prayer in be¬ 
half of Euphrosynus. (247,245,249,252,241,251,248,246,253,250.)
