CATALOGUE OF SCULPTURE.

chariot group. Inscribed: . . .v 'Ao-kA^-im koL 'Y-yfieia.—
Trapezus. Strangford Coll.

Marble. Height, 6 inches ; width, 1 foot 2 inches.

2160. Vase with votive reliefs to Asclepios and for a prosperous
voyage. The vase originally had two handles, but a part
of the body is lost, with one of the handles. The subjects
in order from one of the handles are as follows : —

1. In sunk relief, Poseidon standing on a ship, with his
right hand supported by an oar, and with a dolphin on
his outstretched left hand. The ship has a curved prow
with a ram and terminates in a goose's head at the stern.
A suppliant, draped, half kneels before Poseidon.

2. A panel in salient relief, with draped figures of
Hygieia with a snake and Asclepios with a serpent -
entwined staff, both standing to the front, and between
them the boy Telesphoros, in cape and hood.

3. The inscription EwAota <tol evrvxy, QeoSovXe, and a
sunk relief, with a ship running before the wind, over
weaves. A man in the stern holds the tiller of a steering-
oar with his right hand and a brace with his left. In
the bows a smaller figure is engaged near the artemon,
below which a gangwa}" is suspended. The upper part of
the rigging is lost. Evrvxfj apparently stands for evrvxoi.

4 (on the opposite side of the vase). A part of a sunk
panel, with a nude figure (perhaps Apollo), with long-
hair and a belt, running to the left. Inscribed : HjjSlov

tyvxapiov tu crroAw aveOrjKa.

The salient relief, No. 2, appears to have been the
original decoration of the vase, and the sunk reliefs must
be subsequent additions. The name Theodoulos occurs
seldom, if ever, before Christian times (2nd-3rd cent.
A.D.).—From Halicarnassos. Presented by IT". B. Pafon, Esq.,
