GALLERY OF ANTIQUITIES. 
[ELGIN 
L 30. Part of a coffer from the ceiling of the temple of Erectheus. 
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 well as to Neptune. Neptune and his symbols frequently 
occur on the coins of Tenos. (231.) 
No. 204. A fragment of a bas-relief, on which 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.) 
No. 207. Small statue of Ganymede ; part only of the eagle’s claw 1 
remains upon the left thigh. (293.) 
No. 208. A sepulchral column of Mysta : the Greek inscription 
informs us that she was a native of Miletus, daughter of Dionysius, and 
wife of Rhaton, who was a native of Thria, a town belonging to the 
tribe of GEneis. (111.) 
Shelf 3- 
Nos. 209—218. Ten objects of small dimensions : they represent 
(with two exceptions) various parts of the human body, and have been 
offered up as vows 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 Hypsistos. No. 213 is a prayer in behalf of 
Euphrosynus. (247, 245, 249, 252, 241, 251, 248, 246, 253, 260.)

feeding it. (81.)
