SALOON.] 
rectly by Chandler in his “ Inscriptiones Antiquae.” It is written in 
the most ancient Greek characters, and in the bustrophedon manner, 
that is to say, the lines follow each other in the same direction as the 
ox passes from one furrow to another in ploughing. The purport of 
the inscription is to record the presentation of three vessels, namely, a 
cup, a saucer or stand, and a strainer, for the use of the Prytaneum, or 
hall of justice, at Sigea. The name of the donor w r as Phanodicus, the 
son of Hermocrates, and a native of Proconnesus. (199.) 
No. 108. A piece of the ceiling of the temple of Erechtheus at 
Athens. (299.) 
No. 109. The lower part of a female statue covered with drapery. 
(299*.) 
No. 110. A piece of the shaft of an Ionic column, belonging to the 
temple of Erechtheus at Athens. (312.) 
No. 111. A colossal statue of Bacchus, from the choragic monu¬ 
ment of Thrasyllus, at Athens, B.c. 320. It is a sitting figure covered 
with the skin of a lion, and with a broad belt round the waist; it was 
originally placed on the summit of the edifice, at a height rather 
exceeding tw r enty-seven feet. (205.) 
No. 112. The capital, and a piece of the shaft of one of the Doric 
columns of the Parthenon. (207.) 
No. 113. An imperfect statue of a youth; of the size of life, and 
of the most exquisite workmanship. (306.) 
No. 114. A piece of the shaft of a column, belonging to the temple 
of Erechtheus at Athens. (304.) 
No. 115. Part of the jamb of a door, from the eastern side of the 
same temple. 
No. 116. Fragment of a leaf moulding, from the north side of the 
same temple. 
No. 117. Part of one of the coffers of the same temple. 
No. 118. Egg and tongue moulding, from the portico under the 
ceiling. These fragments are from the collection of the late J. In wood, 
Esq. For other fragments from the same temple, see Nos. 125— 
127, 219—228. 
No. 119 is now 113. 
Nos. 120, 121, are now 187*, 187**. 
No. 122. A sepulchral solid urn, having three figures in bas-relief 
on the front. The first of these is a warrior with a helmet and a shield, 
who is joining hands with an elderly man dressed in a long tunic; the 
third figure is a female. The inscription underneath these figures pro¬ 
bably contained the names of the parties, but is too mutilated to admit 
of being deciphered. (167.) 
No. 123. A sepulchral column, inscribed with the name of Anaxi- 
crates, an Athenian, the son of Dexiochus; beneath the inscription is the 
representation of a sepulchral urn, executed in very low relief. (240.) 
No. 124. Another monumental urn, of the same kind, inscribed 
with the name of Phsedimus of Naucratis. (A. 51.) 
No. 125. The capital of an Ionic column, from the portico of the 
Erechtheum, at Athens. The building to which this singularly beau¬ 
tiful piece of architecture belonged, was a double temple dedicated to 
Minerva Polias and Pandrosus. (A. 47.)
