ttrcomprehend what is intended by the turret,, unless it be the 
superior receptacle, or soros itself. At the same time we 
beam, from this inscription, that Greek tombs were not always 
exclusively appropriated to the interment of a single body, al¬ 
though such strict injunction is sometimes made, by inscriptions 
upon them, against the admission of any other corpse, than of 
the person first buried ;* but that, sometimes, they answered all 
the purposes^ a modern family vault.

Helen, who was also Aphiou, the daughter of Jason \m 
son of Diogenes, a w oman of Telmessus, constructed this mo¬ 
nument for herself, and late in life has buried herself therein ; 
and to Apolloiudes, her own son ; and to Helen who is like¬ 
wise called Apphion, her own granddaughter; but to nobody else 
fee it allowed to be deposited in the turret , after that she her¬ 
self is therein entombed. But if any person presume to put 
any person therein, let him be devoted to the infernal gods, 
and let him yearly pay to the treasury of the TeSmesseusian 
fifteen drachms.”f
