Chishull, in his “ Antiquitates Asiatics,” and afterwards more cor¬ 
rectly by Chandler in his “ Inscriptiones Antiquae.” It is written in 
the most ancient Greek characters, and in the hustrophedon manner, 
that is to say, the lines follow each other in the same* direction as the 
ox passes from one furrow to another in ploughing. The purport of 
the inscription is to record the presentation of three vessels, namely, a 
cup, a saucer or stand, and a strainer, for the use of the Prytaneum, or 
hall of justice, of the Sigeans. The name of the donor w'as Phanodi- 
cus, the son of Hermocrates, and a native of Proconnesus. (199.)
