On a slab of white marble broken at both ends.
Present height 3' 8¥ by 1' &¥ by 5". Prom a
Turkish house near the Acropolis of Salmacis,
Budrum; now in the British Museum. This in-
scription has been published by M. Bergk, in
Gerhard's Denkmaler, Porsckungen, &c., 185!),
pp. 91*—94*, from a transcript so hastily made
that hardly a single line of the inscription is
correct; and M. Bergk has, therefore, been led
into some very singular and amusing errors. The
letters on this marble are quite worn away in
many parts, in consequence of the slab having
been placed for years over a sink, and thus exposed
to the constant action of running water. I have,
consequently, found the greatest difficulty in de-
ciphering the inscription, and have only discovered
the true reading of several lines since the fac-
simile (Plate LXXXVII.) was printed off. Prom
a comparison of this inscription with C. I. Nos.
3957 and 3902&, there can be no doubt that it is a
fragment from a decree passed by the Greek cities
of Asia, in celebration of the birthday of some
Roman emperor. We leam from C. I. No. 39026,
