[Sidenote: =666.=]

Fragment from the right-hand lower corner of a relief, which is perhaps sepulchral, with the lower parts of two mounted hors.e.m.e.n, wearing short tunics, cloaks and swords, moving rapidly to the left.--_Athens._ _Strangford Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 7 inches; width, 1 foot 10 inches.

[Sidenote: =667.=]

Sepulchral relief. A woman stands to the front wearing a chiton, and having a mantle wrapped closely about her. The relief is bounded by pilasters and a high-pitched pediment, in the tympanum of which is a vase in low relief. Inscribed [Greek: Epigona Moschionos Milesia], Epigona, wife of Moschio, of Miletus.--_Athens._ _Presented by J.

Johnstone, Esq., 1890._

Pentelic marble? Height, 3 feet 9 inches; width, 1 foot 7 inches.

This relief, which was seen at Athens, "in the court of Giorgaki Livaditi," by Spon in 1676 and by Fourmont in 1720, was dug up many years ago below a house in New Bond Street. Spon, _Voyage_ (ed. 1679), II., p. 445; _C.I.G._, 706; _C.I.A._, III., 2660.

[Sidenote: =668.=]

Fragment of relief, with the body and legs of a boy walking to the right. The arms appear to have been raised. A small piece of drapery is seen behind the back of the boy.--_Elgin Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 1 foot 6 inches. _Synopsis_, No. 198 (109).

[Sidenote: =669.=]

Female head to the front in a somewhat severe style. Apparently broken from a relief. The features are those of a young girl. The hair is waved on each side, from a central parting.--_Athens, 1848._ _Lenormant Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 6-3/4 inches.

[Sidenote: =670.=]

Helmeted head in profile to the right; broken from a relief. Above the helmet is what appears to be part of a horse's tail.--_Inwood Coll._

Pentelic marble; height, 7 inches.

[Sidenote: =671.=]

Head of a maiden, probably from a sepulchral relief. She wears a closely-fitting cap, with a small flap hanging down before the ear.

There are remains of the tips of two fingers and a thumb resting on the top of the head, which make it probable that the complete figure was that of an attendant kneeling before her mistress, like the attendant who fastens the sandal of Ameinocleia (No. 620).--_Athens?_ _Elgin Coll._
