temple in the composition representing the visit of Diony-
sos to Ikarios (Guide to Graeco-Eoman sculptures, Pt. I.,
No. 176), and such commemorative tablets were probably
often dedicated by Agonistic Victors. Obtained by
Lord Elgin from the courtyard of Consul Logothetis'
house at Athens.

(F. 4.) Part of a stele. Athene, standing on the right
of the scene, places with her right hand a wreath on the
head of a male figure less in stature. On the left is a
draped female figure holding out in her right hand a
jphiaU towards Athene, and slightly inclining her head
forward ; the left hand of this figure is raised to the level of
the top of her head. She wears a talaric chiton, over which
is a diploidion reaching nearly to the knees. A short
mantle hangs on her left arm. Athene is clad in a talaric
chiton with diploidion; her left hand rests on the edge of
her shield at her side ; part of the crest of her helmet
remains. The upper right-hand corner of the stele is
broken away.
From a comparison of this relief, with other similar
compositions from Athens, it is probable that it is the
heading broken off from an honorary decree of the
Athenian people by which a crown was conferred on
some city or individual for services. (See Botticher,
Verzeichniss, Nos. 292-319. Schone, Griech. Beliefs, 1872,
pi. XVI. fig. 75, p. 42 : and the Elgin fragment, post, P. 5.)
Height, 11 inches ; width, 1 foot 4 inches. Mus. Marbles, IX.,

(F. 5.) Part of a stele. Within a distyle temple Athene
stands on the right; with her right hand she places a
crown on the head of a youth, who stands facing her on
the left. He is clad in a mantle, himation, which leaves
