It will be seen by tbe above columns, that though
the weights of the Cnidian breasts approximate very
remarkably to those of certain multiples of this
assumed drachma, they in no case coincide, being
in all but two instances short of the required
number of grains : this may be partly accounted
for by the fact that the surface of all the marble
weights is more or less weather-worn, and they
have thus lost some portion of their original weight.

Hence no very nice result can be deduced from
such a series either as to the exact weights which
they themselves originally represented and the
ratio between them, or as to the more important
u These breasts appear to have been painted, probably to
preserve their surface.
