in a dancing attitude, and one of them is glancing his eye at the 
contents of a large crater of wine placed on the ground. (235.) 
No. 194. The upper part of the head of the goddess Pasht; it is 
remarkable for being ornamented with a crown of serpents, similar to 
that which is mentioned in the Rosetta inscription. (105.) 
No. 195. A very large funeral urn, solid, and without any in¬ 
scription. It has three figures in bas-relief; the first of these is clothed 
in a tunic and is seated; the second is a warrior standing up and join¬ 
ing hands with the former; and the third is a boy carrying a large cir¬ 
cular shield. (228.) 
No. 196. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing a female figure 
seated in a chair, with a child standing by her side; the upper part of 
the woman is wanting. This fragment is probably part of a sepulchral 
monument. (162.) 
No. 197. A bas-relief, imperfect, representing a charioteer driving 
four horses at full speed; a figure of Victory is flying towards him with 
a crown. (236.) 
No. 198. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing part of the body 
and legs of a boy. (109.) 
No. 199. A cinerary urn, ornamented in front w 7 ith four standing 
figures ; two of these in the centre, are joining hands, the other two are 
in a pensive attitude. The names of ail 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 vrhich 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 and 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 Caliistratus, 
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 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.)
