tive of Histisea. (305*.)

pus, seated on a chair, and holding in his right hand a foot, his left 
hand presses to him a child, whose looks are directed towards the

Dr. Antony Askew r , a.d. 1775, and purchased by Mr. Townley.

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-wnrk, all 
of which are similar representations of the revolving of the w r aves. The

Under No. 180 are— 
Two fragments from the pillars of the tomb of Agamemnon, at My- 
ceriie. Presented in 1843, by the Institute of British Architects .

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, Pythyliis, and Polystrasus. (274.)

son of Socrates, and a native of Ancyra, a city of Galatia. (164.)

cides, and a native of Corinth. (168.) 
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, wdth 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 w r as 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-
