SALOON.] 
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 with four standing 
figures ; two of these in the centre, are joining hands, the other two are 
in a pensive attitude. The names of all 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 wdiich 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

of Aexone. (149.) 
No. 202. A votive Greek inscription, dedicated by Gorgias the

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 w^as dedicated to 
Amphitrite, as w^ell 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. 207. Small statue of Ganymede; part only of the eagle’s claw 
remains upon the left thigh. (293.) 
No. 208. A sepulchral column of Mysta: the Greek inscription 
informs us that she w 7 as a native of Miletus, daughter of Dionysius, and 
wife of Rhaton, who was a native of Thria, a town belonging to the 
tribe of CEneis. (111.) 
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 vow t s to Jupiter Hypsistos, praying for the cure of diseases 
in those parts,, or in gratitude for cures already received. The part of 
the body wffiich had received a cure has been broken of from No. 212; 
but the inscription implies, that Syntrophus presents it as a mark of
