to the right kneeling on his left knee, set in the fork of a
tree close to the edge of the sea; with both hands he is
breaking off a branch. His panther's skin floats in the air
behind his back. This figure is bearded, his body is fairly-
preserved, but the features are destroyed. His right foot
stands in shoal water, which is indicated by curling waves.
Behind him on the left is a pirate, whose body to the waist
is transformed into a dolphin, and who leaps head foremost
into the sea.

(D. 6.) Next on the left is a Satyr who looks to the

the right and extending his right hand towards a Satyr, as
if giving him an order. Both these Satyrs have the
panther's skin hanging from the left shoulder. The heads
and right shoulders of both have perished, also most of the
right arm of the Satyr who is giving the order. His body
is otherwise in good condition. The other Satyr looks
