Nicholson, Charles: Aegyptiaca (London, 1891)

APPENDIX II.

Since the foregoing papers have been placed in
the hands of the printers, it has been thought that
a desirable addition might be made in a brief account
of the Lapidary Inscription forming part of the
Contents of Roman and Etruscan Remains included
in the objects contained in the University Museum.
These remains consist of five Funeral TaMets found
in a catacomb in the neighbourhood of Cape Misen-
eum, and were purchased by Sir C. Nicholson at
Naples in 1858. From impressions retained in
England facsimiles have been made and the fol-
lowing transliteration of the several Tablets has
been kindly supplied, under the authority of Mr
Maunde Thompson, the Principal Secretary of the
British Museum, by one of the officers of that Insti-
tution.
