first line we may read 4(r})fie(a)[y /care]xeb ;
with an epigrammatic licence of scansion; thus
the too short gap mentioned by Mr. Griffith
will suffice.
Mr. Griffith adds the following note : " The
inscription is badly cut in soft limestone, letters
rather small. The A's seemed to be without
the cross-line, but generally the top corner of
the A was chipped out. A letter has been
begun incorrectly after the first E of Evaefiia<;.
Four is the number I have put in my note-book
as beiDg lost-between MEAI and XEI, but the
sense seems to require more." The inscription,
so far as I can judge, seems to be of good
period, neither very early nor very late; there
are no data for any more exact statement;
the third or second century B.C. is a not'
improbable period for it. The grammatical
construction is possible, if we take os. . . .
//.ero^os as a parenthesis, and make iadXov, in
1. 3, agree with Mekiav; or it is possible to
take ^Se dpeTrjs closely with the line before,
and make /cXebs iadXov in apposition to the
sentence.

No. 2, an inscription in the collection of Mr.
Joseph W. Drexel, obtained from Thebes. It
runs as follows in Mr. Merriam's transcrip-
tion :—

It is doubtful, as Mr. Merriam observes,
whether Komon dedicated this tablet at Thebes
or at Naukratis. It is no argument against
the latter view that no trace was found in the
excavations at Naukratis of an association of
Apollo with Egyptian deities; for little or
nothing was discovered in his temenos that
came from Ptolemaic times. For further
remarks on this inscription, see Mr. Merriam's
