to consider the seated figure to be that of a man. Upon an
accurate examination of the monument, we cannot discover any
trace of the final 2, and the costume seems to preclude the idea
of a male figure. It is clothed in a chiton, with long sleeves, and
descending quite down to the feet. Over this is the pallium,
passing over the left shoulder, crossing the back, and folded over
the knees, leaving the right arm exposed, and displaying the
folds of the chiton upon the upper part of the body as well as
round the ancles. The dress of the male figure consists of the
pallium only, worn in the usual manner, leaving the right arm,
the breast, and half the legs naked and exposed. Dodwell in his
Tour in Greece, vol. i. p. 455, has represented this vase, and erro-
neously reads APXArOPAS.—See Boeckh. vol. i. p. 544. No.
