from one of the pediments of the Parthenon ; it has be¬ 
longed 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 ornamented with the heads of bulls and festoons 
in very bold relief. (106.) 
No. 180. A piece of frieze or architectural orna¬ 
ment, from the same place as No. 177. It consists of 
three rows of scroll-work, all of which are similar re¬ 
presentations of the revolving of the waves. The colour 
of the stone is bright red. (221.) 
No. 181. A sepulchral column with an inscription 
to the memory of Theodotus, who was the son of Dio¬ 
dorus, and a native of Antioch. (225.) 
No. 182. A sepulchral solid urn, with a bas-relief re¬ 
presenting three figures, one of which is seated. The 
inscription presents us with the following names: Archa- 
goras, Pythyllis, and Polystratus. (274.) 
No. 183. A sepulchral column inscribed with the 
name of Socrates, son of Socrates, and a native of An- 
cyra, a city of Galatia. (164.) 
No. 184. A sepulchral column of Menestratus, the 
son of Thoracides, and a native of Corinth. (168.) 
No. 185. A Greek inscription, imperfect, contain¬ 
ing an account of the treasures of some temple, pro¬ 
bably 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, with four different dials repre¬ 
sented on as many faces. The inscription imports that 
it is the work of Phaedrus, the son of Zoilus, a native 
of Paeania. From the form of the letters of this inscrip¬ 
tion, the sun-dial cannot have been made much earlier 
than the time of the Emperor Severus. It was found 
at Athens. (285.) 
No. 187. A fragment of a Greek inscription: it is 
a decree of the people of Athens in honour of Hosa- 
o c haras,
