Antiquities. 
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 was dedicated to Amphitrite, as well as to Nep¬ 
tune. 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 im¬ 
perfect. (178.) 
No. 206. A fragment of a Greek inscription, en¬ 
graved in very ancient characters. It seems to be a 
treaty between the Athenians and the people of Rhe- 
gium, a town of the Bruttii, in Italy. (282.) 
No. 207. A small statue of a boy, imperfect; he is 
in the attitude of looking up. (293.) 
No. 208. A sepulchral column ofMysta: the Greek 
inscription informs us that she was a native of Miletus, 
daughter of Dionysius, and wife of Rhaton, who was 
a native of Thria, a town belonging to the tribe of 
(Eneis. (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 vows to 
Jupiter Hypsistos, praying for the cure of diseases in 
those parts, or in gratitude for cures already received. 
The part of the body which had received a cure has 
been broken off from No. 212; but the inscription im¬ 
plies, that Syntrophus presents it as a mark of his gra¬ 
titude to Jupiter Hypsistos. No. 213 is a prayer in 
behalf of Euphrosynus. (247, 245, 249, 252, 241, 251, 
248, 246, 253, 250.) 
Nos. 219, 220. Two pieces of the architrave be¬ 
longing to the temple of Erechtheus at Athens. (291, 
85.) 
No. 221. A fragment of a boy, holding a bird under 
his arm, and feeding it. (81.) 
No, 222. A sepulchral column, inscribed with the 
name
