whom was a soldier of Parium ; and also to the memory of her daugh¬ 
ter, whose name was Agnes, and that of her brother, Demophoon, w 7 ho 
was a soldier of Parium. (172.) 
No. 373. A sepulchral stele. The bas-relief in front, the lovrer 
part of which is broken away, represents two females joining hands, one 
of whom is seated and veiled, the other standing. Between these ap¬ 
pears an old man, clothed in a tunic, and standing in a pensive atti¬ 
tude. (229.)

Pandion : he was the son of Antiphates, and belonged to the tribe of 
Pandionis. (86.)

two goddesses, Vesta and Minerva, who are crowning him. (82.) 
No. 376. A bas-relief, representing two divinities, namely, Jupiter 
seated on a throne, and Juno standing before him; the latter is re¬ 
moving the veil from her face, as if to address the king of the

lines remain. It is written in the Boeotian iEolic dialect, and is a 
treaty between the cities of Orchomenus in Boeotia and Elatsea in Pho- 
cis, respecting some payments due from the Orchomenians to the Eia- 
tseans. These payments w ere for the rent of certain pastures which the

firms the payment of the stipulated sums, and renews the letting of pas¬ 
turage for four years. (177.)

of gold and silver, belonging to the temple of Amphiaraus, and which 
had been injured by the effects of time. (302.) 
No. 379. A Greek inscription, imperfect, engraved in very ancient 
characters: it seems to be an inventory of some treasures, probably those
