SALOON.] GREEK SCULPTURES. 
No. 169. A fleuron, from the temple of Ceres at Eleusis, (173.) 
No. 170. A capital of a pilaster. (174.) 
No. 171. A fragment of a very ancient Greek inscription from the 
Acropolis : it contains an account of certain expenses defrayed by those 
to whom the care of the public games was confided. The name of the 
Archon, under whom the stone was engraved, is effaced. (159.) 
No. 172. A fragment of a decree ; the beginning is wanting, and 
what remains is much mutilated. At the conclusion of the decree it 
is ordained that the people of Hierapytna in Crete shall affix to it the 
public seal. (157.) 
No. 173. A Greek inscription, written in two columns ; it contains 
a list of names arranged in the order of the tribes to which they respec¬ 
tively belonged. (92.) 
No. 174. A votive Greek inscription, dedicated by some sailors, as 
a mark of their gratitude, to Apollo of Tarsus. (223.) 
No. 175. A sepulchral column, of large dimensions ; it is inscribed 
with the name of Aristides, who was the son of Lysimachus, and a na 
tive of Estisea. (305*.) 
No. 176. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing a figure standing 
upright in a dignified attitude; it is probably intended for Bacchus. 
(107.) 
No. 177. A piece of a frieze, or architectural ornament, from the 
tomb of Agamemnon at Mycense. The sculpture is exceedingly an¬ 
cient, and consists of two kinds of scroll-work, one of which represents 
the curling of the waves, and the other a series of paterse, which are 
perfectly fiat and plain. This stone is of a brilliant green colour. (220.) 
No. 178. A fragment of a colossal female statue, from one of the 
pediments of the Parthenon; it has belonged to a sitting figure, of 
which the only remaining part is the left thigh, covered with drapery. 
(156.) 
No. 179. A circular altar, from the island of Delos ; it is orna¬ 
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-work, all 
of which are similar representations of the revolving of the waves. The 
colour of the stone is bright red. (221.) 
Under No. 180 are— 
Two fragments from the pillars of the tomb of Agamemnon, at My¬ 
cenae. Presented in 1843, by the Institute of British Architects. 
No. 181. A sepulchral column with an inscription to the memory 
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, Pythyllis, and Polystratus. (274.) 
No. 183. A sepulchral column inscribed with the name of Socrates, 
son of Socrates, and a native of Ancyra, a city of Galatia. (164.) 
No. 184. A sepulchral column of Menestratus, the son of Thora- 
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 modem 
form than in the inscription of the same kind, No. 379. (216. )
