208 GALLERY OP ANTIQUITIES. [ELGIN 
The line in prose gives us only the name and titles of 
Polyllus, and the verses intimate that Polystratus had 
erected a statue to the deceased, and had placed it under 
the protection of Minerva; the marble on which this in¬ 
scription is cut formed a part of the base on which the 
statue stood. (292.) 
No. 346. A Greek inscription, relating to the Eryth- 
raeans : the characters are very ancient. (288.) 
No. 347- A fragment of a decree of the Athenians, en¬ 
graved on a very large piece of marble. So much has 
been broken away from this inscription, that the precise 
object of it is not easily collected: it is ordained, however, 
that the decree shall be fixed up in the Acropolis. (281.) 
No. 348. A very ancient Greek inscription, which has 
served as an epitaph on the tomb of the Athenian war¬ 
riors killed at Potidsea. This inscription, which originally 
consisted of twelve elegiac verses, has suffered from the in¬ 
juries of time. (290.) 
No. 349. Fragment of a figure. (145.) 
No. 350. Fragment of a Greek inscription, very im¬ 
perfect. (195.) 
No. 351. A sepulchral stele, with an ornament of 
flowers on the summit. It is inscribed with the names of 
Hippocrates and Baucis. (175.) 
Nos. 352—360. Casts in plaster of the frieze of the 
Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, commonly called the 
Lanthorn of Demosthenes. The subject of this frieze is 
the story of Bacchus and the Tyrrhenian pirates. (A. 89, 
97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90.) 
No. 361. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing an 
elderly man before one of the gods, probably Bacchus, 
who appears to hold a vase in his right hand. (84.) 
No. 362. A fragment of a decree of the people of 
Tenos, in honour of some benefactor, whose name is not 
preserved on the marble. (232.) 
No. 363. A fragment of a public act relating to the 
people of Athens and Myrina. (234.) 
No. 364. A fragment of a public act of the Athenians ; 
it consists of twenty-one imperfect lines, and seems to re¬ 
late to the repair of the pavements and roads in the neigh¬ 
bourhood of Athens. (233.)
