RUINS OF CHiERONEA. 
Five In- 
scriptions 
upon one 
'I'aulet. 
CHAP, receptacle of precious relics from the ruins of 
. .iy. «.' Chceronea, has tended to the preservation .of 
some of them, but to the destruction of others; 
the most valuable antiquities having been used 
as common building materials. A very hard 
kind of marble, of a blue-and-white colour, is 
particularly prevalent among the remains of 
this city. Within the church we noticed, in the 
wall, five inscriptions upon one marble pedestal. 
The writing appeared to have been added at 
different times, because the characters were 
not all equally well cut. These inscriptions 
were at too great a height to be legible from 
the floor of the church ; but by placing a ladder 
against the wall, the author, with some diffi- 
culty, made the following copy of the whole.
