SALOON.] 
No. 225. Fragment of a Greek inscription ; very imperfect. (180.) 
No. 226. A fragment of a Greek inscription; it is the latter part 
of a decree in honour of a person who had deserved well of some 
particular city. It is directed, as in the inscription No. 203, that the 
decree shall be engraved on marble, and placed in the temple of Neptune 
and Amphitrite. (230.) 
No. 227. A small figure of Telesphorus, completely enveloped in 
a cloak; it wants the head. (78.) 
No. 228. A sepulchral column, with an inscription to the memory 
of Biottus, who w r as the son of Philoxenus, and a native of Diradium. 
( 275 -) 
No. 229. A sepulchral stele, with a bas-reliel, representing a man 
clothed in a tunic. The inscription over this figure records the name 
of Erasippus, who was the son of Callinicus, and a native of CEum in 
Attica. (212.) 
No. 230. A solid sepulchral urn, with a bas-relief, representing 
five figures, executed in a singularly rude style. The first of these 
figures is a boy carrying a large circular shield, the second is a warrior 
joining hands with a third person, who is seated before him : the group 
is completed by the introduction of a child, and of a female whose 
attitude evinces a dejected state of mind. Over the warrior is the 
name of Sosippus, in Greek letters. (239.) 
No. 231. The capital of an Ionic column, from the temple of 
Diana, at Daphne. (80.) 
No. 232. The upper part of the shaft of a small Ionic column. 
(310.) 
No. 233. The capital of a Corinthian column. (308*.) 
No. 234. A fragment of a Greek inscription ; it is too imperfect 
to admit of a full explanation, but it seems to have been in honour of 
a person who had distinguished himself on some occasion by great 
humanity. (170.) 
No. 235. A fragment of a decree made by a society which is 
distinguished by a number of epithets, among which are two derived 
from the names of Hadrian and Antoninus. The Society appears to 
have been formed of musicians, and the decree to have been passed 
in honour of Bacchus and the Emperor Antoninus Pius. A patera is 
represented on the upper part of this marble. (161.) 
No. 236. A sepulchral inscription, in six elegiac verses, to a young 
man of the name of Plutarchus, who died in Ausonia, at a distance 
from his native country. (242.) 
No. 237. A Greek inscription, imperfect. (287.) 
No. 238. An amphora. (215.) 
Shelf 5:— 
No. 239. An unknown female head, the hair of which is con¬ 
cealed within a close head-dress. (122.) 
No. 240. A fragment of an unknown female head. (255.) 
No. 241. A fragment of a bas-relief, representing an unknown 
female head : from the style of the hair, which is curiously plaited, we 
may fix the sculpture to about the time of Antoninus Pius. (123.) 
No. 242. A head of the bearded Hercules. (120.) 
No. 243. A head of the bearded Hercules, similar to the last, but 
of larger dimensions. (117.)
