No. 186. A sun-dial, with four different dials represented on as 
many faces. The inscription imports that it is the work of Phsedrus, 
the son of Zoilus, a native of Pseania. 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 3d year of the 
116th Olympiad. (280.) 
No. 187*. Part of the capital of an Ionic column. (306*.)

I. 23. Capital of an Ionic column supposed to have belonged to the 
temple of Diana Eucleia at Athens. 
Upper part of a draped statue, found on the plains of Marathon. 
No. 187**. A circular altar, brought from the island of Delos. It 
is ornamented with the heads of bulls, from which festoons of fruit and 
flowers are suspended. (307.) 
No. 188. A solid urn, or cenotaph, in the front of which two figures, 
a man and a woman, are represented joining hands. The former is 
standing, the latter is seated. The names of both were probably in¬ 
scribed upon the urn, but that of the woman only is preserved, 
Ada. (110.) 
No. 189. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing a procession of 
three figures, the last of which carries a large basket on his head : they 
are accompanied by tw o. children. (284.) 
No. 190. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing two of the god¬ 
desses, Latona and Diana, in procession. Similar bas-reliefs, in a 
more perfect state, are preserved in the Albani collection. The temple 
which is here introduced, is probably that of Apollo, w r hich stood in 
the street at Athens, called the “ The Tripods. ” (103.) 
No. 191. A fragment of the upper part of a sepulchral stele. (95.) 
No. 192. A solid funeral urn, of large dimensions. It has a bas- 
relief in front, representing two figures joining hands; these figures 
consist of a female who is seated, and a man who is standing before 
her. The Greek inscription gives us the names of both persons: 
one is Pamphilus, the son of Mixiades, and a native of iEgilia; and 
the other is Archippe, the daughter of Mixiades. (237.) 
No. 193. A bas-relief, representing a Bacchanalian group, found 
among the ruins of the theatre of Bacchus, on the south-west of the 
Acropolis. It consists of four figures, each carrying a thyrsus ; one of 
these is Bacchus, dressed in the Indian costume, who with his right 
hand is holding out a double-handled vase, into which a female Bac¬ 
chante is pouring wine from a monota, or vase with one handle. On 
each side of these figures is an elderly Faun, in a dancing attitude, one 
of whom is glancing his eye at the contents of a large vessel of wine 
placed on the ground. (235.) 
No. 194. The upper part of the head of an Egyptian idol, in granite; 
the head is that of a lion, and is remarkable for being ornamented wdth 
a crown of serpents, similar to that w 7 hich is spoken of 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
