190 RUINS OF ORCHOMENUS. 
CHAP, for the distinction of dialect in which Orckomenus

of the digamma, the Reader is referred to the

Mr. A¥alpole upon the copy of it which the 
author made upon the spot'; secondly, for

comparing this copy with the original, now in 
the British Museum : and that its meaning may 
be more readily apprehended, a mark has been 
placed at the termination of every word.
