which two figures are reclining on a couch; one holds out a drink-

on the cushion of the couch ; he is beardless, a single tress of hair

beardless ; he has ceased to play on his lyre; at the head of
the couch a bearded figure playing on the double flutes;

head encircled by a black band which represents the ocean;
on its undulating surface four galleys are sailing; they have one
bank of rowers and are rigged with a single mast and one
large sail of which the lower part only and the ropes which
attach it to the ship are seen; the prow of each galley ter-
