fane originally consecrated by the daughters of Danaus to the 
Lindian Minerva.* When our countrymen were there, many 
inscriptions were noticed; and of these, one may be here insert¬ 
ed, on account of the evidence it contains with regard to the real

The inscriptions I noticed at Rhodes were principally upon 
marble altars. These exhibited the cylindrical form, adorned 
with sculptured wreaths and festoons, supported by rams’ heads, 
common to all the altars of ancient Greece. The first was de¬ 
corated with wreaths of laurel, and thus inscribed :
