read an inscription, partly in verse and partly in
prose*. " It results, from the portion which re-
mains," says Visconti, " that the column supported
the statue of an Athenian named Piso, who was of
the equestrian order, and had been the eponymus or
titular archon at Athens, giving his name to the year.
The little statue was consecrated to iEsculapius, and
Piso was represented with a torch in his hand, as we
see in some other votive figures. This monument is
of the age of the Roman emperors •[•."
