of an inferior class of workmanship, and the forms of the letters
and characters of the names upon some of them prove that they
are productions of different periods, chiefly Roman, and of rather
a late date.

Eisias dedicates this vow to the highest; the name of Jupiter
being omitted as unnecessary. The locality of the sacred pre-
cincts would sufficiently point out the deity to whom the object
was dedicated, and the title of " the highest," was ascribed to
Jupiter alone. The square form of the E is not usual where the
sigma is written with the rounded form C.

This is similar to the two preceding, but inscribed

Eutychis dedicates this vow to the highest. There cannot be
any doubt of the word EYXHN having been intended, though the
carver has blundered the letters in form as well as in position.
The last letter is clearly written H, and the one before it is so
formed as to have been mistaken for M.

This, like the preceding, has been doubtless a votive offering,
dedicated, as we may suppose from the locality where it was dis-
covered, to Jupiter, in grateful commemoration of some cure
performed upon a foot, which, as will be perceived from the sculp-
ture, must have been very much distorted. It had probably,
like the rest, a dedicatory inscription, which has been broken
off and lost.
