At the two lower angles are seated two sphinxes, and between
them, in the centre, is a head of Pan. The sides of this cippus are
ornamented in a very similar manner. The side garlands are of
laurel, and are suspended each from the ram's head and a goat's
head; on one side, within the garland, is a prsefericulum, below,
in the middle, is a goat lying down, between the sphinx and an
eagle; on the other side is a patera instead of a prsefericulum,
and below is a ram lying down between the sphinx and a raven.
Cavaceppi has engraved this monument in his work entitled Rac-
colta di Statue,1 but has omitted the inscription.
