the wolfe expedition

No. 421.

Kara Baulo. Fragments of the Epistyle blocks now lying- in
front of the temple of the Empero?'s and Zeus Sarapis.
See C.I.G. 4379^5 Copy.

This fragment seems to have been more complete in the time of
Schonborn, but it is not easy to imagine how a stone so huge could
be broken and carried off by the wretched nomads who now dwell in
this region ; nor why just this stone should be broken when portable
cut stones are in such abundance.

The third line is entirely omitted by Schonborn.

In line 3 end, the I which should be between 0 and § was omitted
by the stonecutter. The letters of line 3 are smaller than those of
lines 1 and 2.
