ing to light any thing of importance. On
examining in certain lights portions of the
painted wall under the colonnade of the Ba-
silica, many inscriptions may be perceived

idlers of Pompeii. Some of them have been
published, but without an acknowledgement

were furnished. They are stated to be painted
on an outer wall to the east, but it will save
trouble to mention that they are to be found
on the inner or south side of the north wall.

either of style or sentiment, but among the
least exceptionable are the following.

Nemo nisi Bulius nisi qui amavit mulierem.

H. Ceesari. tertio Germanico. Csesare iter.
