Its back is inscribed in archaic lettering I ARO£EMITOMEAAIVIOTO-
TTEAAN Al (iapbs ep.1 to Me\Xix*o to jleXcbcu). This was purchased at Paris in 1911
as coming from the Peloponnese, and A. Plassart in the Bull. Corr. Hell. 19-26 1. 424
n. 4 states that in 1916 he saw near the find-spot (Pellana in Achaia) a second small
bronze snake, but uninscribed, which was said to have been found at the same time.
ii. 1146 n. o pyramidal tombs for horses at Agrigentum. C. M. Firth and J. E. Quibell
found at Saqqara two mummies of horses, dating from the reign of Ramses ii (Comptes

ii. 1150 tomb-ceiling as mimic sky. Sir A. J. Evans in The Illustrated London News
for Sept. 26, 1931 p. 485 ff. publishes a temple-tomb close to the palace at Knossos. The

were visible between the beams—had been tinted with the brilliant Egyptian blue, or
hyanos, so that the dead beneath the vault might not be without the illusion of the sky
above.' See further id. The Palace of Minos London 1935 iv. 2. 975 and context.
