Antiquities. 
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 hu¬ 
manity. (170.) 
No. 235. A fragment of a decree made by a Society 
which is distinguished by a number of epithets, among 
which are tw r o 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.)

which is concealed 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.)
