his extended right hand. Diminutive figures of a woman
and a girl stand beside him. The girl is gazing at the
foot, and raises her hands towards it, while the woman
looks towards Xanthippos. She holds a bird in her right
hand. It has been supposed that the foot is a votive
offering, to commemorate a remarkable cure. Wolters,
however, explains the object as a shoemaker's last (KaX-d-n-ov;,
cf. Monumenti dell' Inst., xi. pi. 29), and interprets it as an
allusion to the trade of Xanthippos. This theory hardly
accounts for the gestures of the attendant figures.
Above the relief is a pediment, inscribed *p,av6nnro<;.

629. Sepulchral monument of Jason. A physician, Jason,
an elderly bearded man, is seated on a stool. Before him
stands a boy, undergoing examination, and clearly shown
to be suffering, by his swollen belly and wasted limbs.
On the right is a vessel of peculiar form, resembling a
cupping glass, but on a scale out of all proportion to that
of the group, and not to be considered as a part of it.
The inscription runs : 'lacrwv 6 kol Aek/aos 'A^apveus iarpos,
k.t.X., and contains the names of ' Jason, called also
Decimus, of the Acharnian deme, a physician,' and of other
members of his family. The relief is surmounted by a
row of roughly indicated antefixal tiles.
Obtained by Fauvel in Athens ; afterwards in the Choiseul-
Gouffier and Pourtales Collections.
Pentelic marble; height, 2 feet 7 inches ; width, 1 foot 10J inches.
