pus, seated on a chair, and holding in his right hand a votive foot, his left 
hand presses to him a child, whose looks are directed towards the foot; 
another girl looks towards him. Brought from Athens, by Dr. Antony 
Askew, a. D. 1775, and purchased by Mr. Townley. 
No. 178. A fragment of a colossal female statue, from one of the 
pediments of the Parthenon; it has belonged to a sitting figure, of 
which the only remaining part is the left thigh, covered with drapery. 
(156.) 
No. 179. A circular altar, from the island of Delos; it is orna¬ 
mented with the heads of bulls and festoons in very bold relief. 
(106.) 
No. 180. A piece of frieze, or architectural ornament, from the 
same place as No. 177. It consists of three rows of scroll-work, all 
of which are similar representations of the revolving of the waves. The 
colour of the stone is bright red. (221.) 
Under No. 180 are— 
Two fragments from the pillars of the tomb of Agamemnon, at My¬ 
cenae. Presented in 1848, bp the Institute of British Architects. 
No. 181. A sepulchral column with an inscription to the memory 
of Theodotus, who was the son of Diodorus, and a native of Antioch. 
(225.) 
No. 182. A sepulchral solid urn, with a bas-relief representing 
three figures, one of which is seated. The inscription presents us 
with the following names: Archagoras, Pythyllis, and Polystrasus. 
(274.) 
No. 183. A sepulchral column inscribed with the name of Socrates, 
son of Socrates, and a native of Ancvra, a city of Galatia. (164.)

No. 185. A Greek inscription, imperfect, containing an account 
of the treasures of some temple, probably those of the Parthenon. 
The characters which we see on this marble are of a much more modern 
form than in the inscription of the same kind. No. 379. (216.) 
No. 186. A sun-dial, with four different dials represented on as 
many faces. The inscription imports that it is the work of Phaedrus, 
the son of Zoilus, of the deme Paeania. From the form of the letters 
of this inscription, the sun-dial cannot have been made much earlier 
than the time of the Emperor Severus. It was found at Athens. 
(285.) 
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 3rd year of the 
116th Olympiad. (280.)
