'''Modern Publication(s):''' ''CAT'' III 777; Boschung et al. 78; ''SEG'' XLVII 245

'''Brief description:''' Inscribed marble grave ''lekythos'' for Pyrro<k>les of Potamos and the daughter of –sostratos of Kephale.

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Funerary

'''Object Type:''' ''Lekythos''

'''Material:''' Marble. ‘Probably Pentelic marble.’ (Boschung et al.)

'''Original Location:''' Unknown (Boschung et al.)

'''Provenance:''' Attica (Boschung et al.)

'''Date:''' c.360-350 BC, based on similar many-figured representations on ''lekythoi''. The inscription does not help in dating this object. (Boschung et al.)

'''Dimensions:''' H. 0.485 m.

'''Layout:''' Inscribed above the woman on the left of the ''lekythos'', the name: ΠΥΡΡΟ<Κ>ΛΗΣ | ΠΑΓΛΕΟΥΣ | ΠΟΤΑΜΙ[Ο]Σ. Inscribed above the figure on the right of the ''lekythos'', the name: ??...ΣΟΣΤΡΑΤΟΥ | ΚΕΦΑΛΗ(θεν). (Petzl in Boschung et al.)

Clairmont instead reads ΠΥΡΡΟΣ | ΠΑΓΛΕΟΥΣ | ΠΟΤΑΜΙ[Ο]Σ for the inscription on the left, and ] ΦP [ | ] TH ΣΟΣΤΡΑΤΟΥ | ΚΕΦΑΛΗ(θεν) for the inscription on the right.

'''Writing:''' Inscribed. Clairmont notes that the inscription for Pyrro<k>les is ‘definitely later’. Boschung et al. concur that the daughter of --sostratos died first. They note that the man’s name (Purro<k>les) has been inscribed with less care, in larger letters, and further suggest that the inconsistent positioning of the inscriptions in relation to the figures supports this hypothesis.

'''Condition:''' The base and neck of the ''lekythos'' are missing. The shoulder area and relief are both heavily abraded. (Boschung et al.)

'''Decoration:''' Above a projecting, dividing strip are, from left to right: a female servant in a long ''chiton'' carrying a little box on her raised left hand, which rests against her left shoulder. A woman in a ''chiton'' and cloak with a raised left hand, the part of the veil that would usually cover her head is down. Her right hand is extended towards a man, also in ''chiton'' and cloak. Between the two, a small naked child runs towards the woman (the mother) with arms raised. (Boschung et al.)

Clairmont interprets the figure on the right as ‘a female figure (her head lost)’, and suggests that this is ‘the daughter of Sostratos’, rather than the central figure.

'''Modern Publication(s):''' Boschung et al. 81; ''SEG'' XLVII 2212

'''Brief description:''' Upper part of a funerary relief for a woman.

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Funerary

'''Object Type:''' ''Stele''

'''Material:''' White marble

'''Original Location:''' Not known, although possibly from the area of the Sea of Marmara. (Boschung et al.)

'''Provenance:''' Not known (see above).

'''Date:''' Hellenistic period or later. A precise date is impossible to determine due to the state of preservation. (Boschung et al.)

'''Dimensions:''' W. 0.29 m.

'''Layout:''' Four lines of text, each approximately 20 mm high, on the body of the stele between the tympanum and the relief. The inscription seems to begin with a form of ‘woman’: nominative γυνή, followed by KAEPETOY, or the accusative γυνῆκα (instead of γυναῖκα) followed by EPETOY. (Boschung et al.)

'''Writing:''' Inscribed.

'''Condition:''' The inscription when seen by Boschung was set into a garden wall with only the upper half visible. The surface is heavily corroded and the remnants of the relief and inscription can only be seen with difficulty. The pediment is scuffed at the corners, and the frame of the tympanum is largely destroyed. (Boschung et al.)

'''Decoration:''' The ''stele'' pediment was originally a simple, flat relief containing the image of a woman. The pediment was without ornament. (Boschung et al.)

== Collection ==
'''Location:''' Chatsworth: garden.

'''Collector(s):''' William Spencer Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire. ‘…a piece of marble from the Sea of Marmora [sic], given to me by Etienne Pisani, attached to Lord Ponsonby’s embassy’. (Cavendish)

'''Date collected:''' Ponsonby was ambassador in Constantinople from 1 May 1833 to 10 Oct 1841; the inscription was presumably acquired by Willliam Cavendish in or shortly after this period.

'''Accession or catalogue number:''' Not known.

'''Modern Publication(s):''' Villoison 302 no.3 (''editio princeps''); ''CIG'' 1982; Furtwängler 15; ''IG'' X 2 1 901; Boschung et al. 80

'''Brief description:''' Funerary ''stele''.

‘Doubtless this ''stele'' is identical with that seen by Villoison at Salonika… the inscription of which he copied as follows (Böckh, ''CIG'' 1982).’ (Furtwängler)

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Funerary

'''Object Type:''' ''Stele''

'''Material:''' Grey and white, large crystalline marble. (Boschung et al.)

'''Original Location:''' Makedonia (Mygdonia) – Thessaloniki. (Villoison)

'''Provenance:''' Pella? ‘Villoison does not give the place where it was found; that this was at Pella was apparently not alleged until later, when it came to be sold.’ (Furtwängler)

'''Date:''' 1C BC (Furtwängler); 20 BC - 20 AD, based on the style of the figures. (Boschung et al.)

'''Dimensions:''' H. 0.77 m; W. 0.7 m; D. cannot be determined. (Boschung et al.)

'''Layout:''' Three lines of text. ‘The workmanship is inferior and hasty.’ (Furtwängler)

'''Writing:''' Inscribed.

'''Condition:''' The ''stele'' is damaged at the edges, but the extent of the damage could not be ascertained when seen by Boschung, due it its location (in a wall). Approximately one-third of the bottom right-hand corner of the stele [the portion containing the inscription] is missing. The framing ridge on the right side is also corroded and destroyed. The upper corners and the finial of the stele have been chipped off. The seated figure is in good condition, with only slight damage to the left leg of the stool, her foot, shoulder and face. The servants, accessories and animals are carved in shallower relief. (Boschung et al.)

'''Decoration:''' ‘A woman, veiled, is seated to the left on a chair with cushions. She is the dead Herennia Syriska. To her, as the embodiment of her soul after death, belongs the serpent coiled round the tree which stands behind her. Before her stands her servant who holds a small casket, and appears to be placing a little lamb on her mistress’s lap. On the right is a male figure, very much damaged and somewhat smaller. This is Marcus Herennius…; he is wrapped in a cloak; in front of him stands his slave-boy…. The serpent on the tree to the right and the horse looking over the wall belong to Herennius.’ (Furtwängler)

== Collection ==
'''Location:''' Chatsworth: theatre wing, ground floor. (Boschung et al.)

'''Collector(s):''' Found by J. B. G. d’ Annse de Villoison 1786 in Thessaloniki, in the house of the French consul. (Villoison) It is likely to have originated in Thessaloniki. The collector was George Cavendish. It was still intact when found. (Boschung et al.)

‘The “bit of marble” was George Cavendish’s trophy of long travel. He pounced upon it in Macedonia, and the serpent encouraged his kind zeal: after securing it, he and his fellow-traveller, Lord Elphinstone, rode on towards the East, and months, perhaps years, elapsed before I was gladdened by the arrival of the precious fragment.’ (Cavendish)

In 1832 it was moved to its current storage location and provided with an indication of origin ‘Pella’. (Boschung et al.)

'''Date collected:''' Found: 1786; collected: 1832 (see above) (Boschung et al.)

'''Accession or catalogue number:''' Not known.

Historyterry: /* List of Collections */

This is a pilot project aiming to list ancient Greek inscriptions held in UK collections. For the time being, we will be interested in alphabetic Greek inscriptions on stone and metal. Our initial data-collection will concentrate on inscriptions currently located in the north of England, but we hope eventually to include those in other British and Irish collections. For more information, or to contribute material, please contact [mailto:peter.liddel@manchester.ac.uk Peter Liddel] or [mailto:polly.low@manchester.ac.uk Polly Low].

[[Category:Lyme Park]]

'''Modern Publication(s):''' Strong 1 (''editio princeps''); ''IG'' II(2) 6999; ''SEG'' XLV 187; Clairmont, ''CAT'' III 369c

'''Brief description:''' Funerary stele with three figures.

Scholl (1995b) identifies Epigenes as the poet of Middle comedy, ''PCV'' V 165-169 F 1-8. He further suggests that Epigenes is the poet or actor on the uninscribed gravestone Clairmont, ''CAT'' I 400, also in Lyme Park, as ''CAT'' I 400 was ‘probably found in the same place’.

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Funerary inscription

'''Object Type:''' Stele

'''Material:''' Marble

'''Original Location:''' Athens

'''Provenance:''' Athens, outside the walls, on the road to Thebes. (Scholl 1995b)

'''Date:''' Initially dated to c.420 BC (Strong); later dated to c.350-340 BC, on the style of the relief sculpture. (Scholl 1995b)

'''Dimensions:''' 'The height from the lower edge of the frame to the akroterion (now broken) is 4ft 10½ in.; the width of the actual stele, across the pilasters is 2ft 10¼ in.; the extreme width of the pediment is 2ft 11¼ ins.' (Strong)

'''Layout:''' A single line of text 'below the akroterion, along the architrave'. (Strong)

'''Writing:''' Inscribed.

'''Condition:''' The left akroterion is missing, as is the lower left-hand corner of the relief with the legs of the stool. There are minor nicks all over. The faces of all three people – particularly that of the seated Melisto - appear to have been damaged deliberately. (Scholl 1995a)

'''Decoration:''' 'The two principal figures project slightly beyond the framing pilasters. … Melisto, daughter of Hegestratos… sits to the spectator’s left, on a cushioned chair without back, leaning against the pilaster, her sandaled feet resting on a footstool. …She wears the thin Ionic chiton with sleeves, under the thicker sleeveless Doric chiton, and over the whole the ample cloak of himation, one end of which she holds up with the fingers of her left hand. With her right hand she clasps the right of her husband Epigenes, who stands facing her, seen in three quarters by the spectator. He is a bearded personage of mature age; his costume is that of the ordinary Athenian citizen, namely the cloak draped over the left shoulder, leaving right shoulder and breast bare…. His left arm and hand hang quietly at his side. … Behind these two figures, and in much lower relief, stands a third – a female attendant carrying what must be her mistress’s jewel casket. Her head is shown in profile; her hair is cut short and she wears the sleeveless chiton, without any upper garment.' (Strong)

Just as for the judges of the Eretrians, it was resolved also by the delegates dispatched from the Parians and from the Naxians, concerning those things about which the Parians went to law against the Naxians. There is to be no longer any lawsuit for an individual arising out of the charges that arose previously or the wrongs committed against the cities. There is no longer to be any lawsuit against the city of the Naxians brought by the city of the Parians, nor by the city of the Naxians against that of the Parians. There is to be neither any debt nor any charge nor any wrong for any individual against the cities, nor any charge against an individual arising out of the previously existing charges or acts of wrong by him in relation to them. Besides, the lawcourt of the Eretrians commands the city of the Parians to sacrifice a cow to the value that is written up on this document, and the Parians are to bring the sacrifice to Dionysos on Naxos, and the perquisite of the cow is …. whichever of the cities or individuals does something against this verdict, let it pay a fine … if a city commits the transgression, let it pay a penalty of twenty talents; if it is an individual, five talents. So that …. The arbitration that has come about from the …. On the (?) of the month Hippion waning at the time when, as the Eretrians hold, the generals were those with Archebios, as the Naxians hold during the priesthood of Dionysos of Philokritos the son of …., during the month of…; as the Parians hold during the archonship of Thou-…. during the month of Plynterion. The ''probouloi'' and the generals of the Eretrians are to both write up this verdict among themselves at the public archive and they are to send it to the cities sealed with the public seal. And the delegates of each of the cities is to take care of this verdict.

With her right hand she clasps the right of her husband Epigenes, who stands facing her, seen in three quarters by the spectator. He is a bearded personage of mature age; his costume is that of the ordinary Athenian citizen, namely the cloak draped over the left shoulder, leaving right shoulder and breast bare…. His left arm and hand hang quietly at his side. … Behind these two figures, and in much lower relief, stands a third – a female attendant carrying what must be her mistress’s jewel casket. Her head is shown in profile; her hair is cut short and she wears the sleeveless chiton, without any upper garment.' (Strong)

== Translation ==
Ti(berios) Kl(audios) Poleas and Stasimos Rouphou constructed this memorial, on equal terms, when they were alive; Stasimos for himself and for his wife Eikonio and for their descendants and for their dependants and for their freedmen and for whomsoever he wishes to grant the privilege, on the right hand side, consisting of three spaces; Poleas for both himself and for his kin and for his freedmen and his slaves.

Gatty suggests 'the double spaces alluded to are doubtless the sunk apertures in the walls of the tomb, to hold either a body or an urn containing ashes'.

'''Inscription Type:''' Artist's signature

'''Object Type:''' Base

'''Material:''' Marble

'''Original Location:''' Unknown

'''Provenance:''' Unknown: according to Ashmole, the statue group was 'found about AD 1760, in the Tenuta di Salone on the Via Praenestina, and the restorer joined it with the plinth'. Michaelis suggests that the group was united with the plinth -- found at the same place on the same date -- by Nic. La Piccola.

'''Date:''' Perhaps a modern forgery (Franz in ''CIG'' and Ashmole). Furtwangler (cited by Ashmole) thought that it was ancient; Visconti (cited by Michelis) thought that it was an ancient fabrication, given the fame of the ancient Boupalos of Chios.

Just as for the judges of the Eretrians, it was resolved also by the delegates dispatched from the Parians and from the Naxians, concerning those things about which the Parians went to law against the Naxians. There is to be no longer any lawsuit for an individual arising out of the charges that arose previously or the wrongs committed against the cities. There is no longer to be any lawsuit against the city of the Naxians brought by the city of the Parians, nor by the city of the Naxians against that of the Parians. There is to be neither any debt nor any charge nor any wrong for any individual against the cities, nor any charge against an individual arising out of the previously existing charges or acts of wrong by him in relation to them. Besides, the lawcourt of the Eretrians commands the city of the Parians to sacrifice a cow to the value that is written up on this document, and the Parians are to bring the sacrifice to Dionysos on Naxos, and the perquisite of the cow is …. whichever of the cities or individuals does something against this verdict, let it pay a fine … if a city commits the transgression, let it pay a penalty of twenty talents; if it is an individual, five talents. So that …. The arbitration that has come about from the …. On the (?) of the month Hippion waning at the time when, as the Eretrians hold, the generals were those with Archebios, as the Naxians hold during the priesthood of Dionysos of Philokritos the son of …., during the month of…; as the Parians hold during the archonship of Thou-…. during the month of Plynterion. The ''probouloi'' and the generals of the Eretrians are to both write up this verdict among themselves at the public archive and they are to send it to the cities sealed with the public seal. And the delegates of each of the cities is to take care of this verdict.

2014-09-09T13:45:25Z

Historyterry:

[[Category:Leeds, City Museum]]

'''Modern Publication(s):''' ''CIG'' 864b (Addenda, p. 918) (Editio princeps); Koumanoudes 1942; ''CIA'' iii. 2550; Hicks 5; ''EAD'' XXX 336bis

'''Brief description:''' Funerary stele.

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Funerary

'''Object Type:''' Gravestone

'''Material:''' White marble

'''Original Location:''' Rheneia or Athens. A location of Rhenia is based on the use of a saluation (χρηστὲ χαῖρε) with name in the vocative (the usual form for epitaphs from Rheneia). (Hicks) The style and general shape of the monument also point to Rheneia. (Hicks, on the advice of Conze) 'The "friend" who sent a copy of this stele from England to Böckh informed him that it came from Athens, and so the editors have described it.' (Hicks)

'''Provenance:''' Rheneia or Athens (see above).

'''Date:''' c.100 BC

'''Dimensions:''' H. 0.737 m; W. 0.368 m. (Leeds)

'''Layout:''' Two salutations of a similar date, side-by-side on one stone. [A] Four lines of text; [B] Five lines of text.

'''Writing:''' Inscribed.

'''Condition:''' Good preservation. All the letters can be clearly made out, except perhaps the last two of [B] 2. (Hicks)

'''Decoration:''' 'Surmounted by a plain pediment with an akroterion. The main surface of the stele is bordered on either side by a column, and the two columns support a circular arch. Within the space thus enclosed is a group worked in rather high relief, comprising three figures. On the left a male figure is seated on a rock facing to the right: he extends his right hand to another male figure in full face, who stands in front of him. Both are wearing chiton and himation. Behind the standing figure stands a female figure, also wearing an upper and under garment, facing to left.' (Hicks)

== Collection ==
'''Location:''' Leeds City Museum.

'''Collector(s):''' Part of a collection purchased by Mr Benjamin Gott and Mr Rawson when travelling from Smyrna through the islands to Athens in 1815. Gott died of a fever at Piraeus, and the marbles then passed to Mr Rawson. They were kept at Rawson’s house in Halifax for several years, during which time six of the inscriptions were copied and sent to Böckh for inclusion in ''CIG''. On Rawson’s death in 1845 or 1846, Mr Rawson’s brother, Mr S. Rawson, sold the marbles to Mr William Gott (brother of B. Gott). W. Gott then passed the marbles to his son, Rev. Dr. John Gott, who presented them with a few exceptions (Nos. 1-6, Hicks) to the Museum at Leeds. (Hicks)

'''Date collected:''' Collected by Rawson in 1815.

'''Accession or catalogue number:''' LEEDM.D.1967.1235

Just as for the judges of the Eretrians, it was resolved also by the delegates dispatched from the Parians and from the Naxians, concerning those things about which the Parians went to law against the Naxians. There is to be no longer any lawsuit for an individual arising out of the charges that arose previously or the wrongs committed against the cities. There is no longer to be any lawsuit against the city of the Naxians brought by the city of the Parians, nor by the city of the Naxians against that of the Parians. There is to be neither any debt nor any charge nor any wrong for any individual against the cities, nor any charge against an individual arising out of the previously existing charges or acts of wrong by him in relation to them. Besides, the lawcourt of the Eretrians commands the city of the Parians to sacrifice a cow to the value that is written up on this document, and the Parians are to bring the sacrifice to Dionysos on Naxos, and the perquisite of the cow is …. whichever of the cities or individuals does something against this verdict, let it pay a fine … if a city commits the transgression, let it pay a penalty of twenty talents; if it is an individual, five talents. So that …. The arbitration that has come about from the …. On the (?) of the month Hippion waning at the time when, as the Eretrians hold, the generals were those with Archebios, as the Naxians hold during the priesthood of Dionysos of Philokritos the son of …., during the month of…; as the Parians hold during the archonship of Thou-…. during the month of Plynterion. The ''probouloi'' and the generals of the Eretrians are to both write up this verdict among themselves at the public archive and they are to send it to the cities sealed with the public seal. And the delegates of each of the cities is to take care of this verdict.

IG II(2) 6999: Sepulchral Stele

Historyterry:

'''Modern Publication(s):''' Strong 1 (Editio princeps); ''IG'' II(2) 6999; ''SEG'' 45.187; Clairmont, ''CAT'' 3.369c

'''Brief description:''' Funerary stele with three figures.

Scholl (1995b) identifies Epigenes as the poet of Middle comedy, ''PCV'' V 165-169 F 1-8. He further suggests that Epigenes is the poet or actor on the uninscribed gravestone Clairmont, ''CAT'' 1.400, also in Lyme Park, as ''CAT'' 1.400 was ‘probably found in the same place’.

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Funerary inscription

'''Object Type:''' Stele

'''Material:''' Marble

'''Original Location:''' Athens

'''Provenance:''' Athens, outside the walls, on the road to Thebes (Scholl 1995b).

'''Date:''' Initially dated to c.420 BC (Strong); later dated to c.350-340 BC, on the style of the relief sculpture (Scholl 1995b).

'''Dimensions:''' “The height from the lower edge of the frame to the akroterion (now broken) is 4ft 10½ in.; the width of the actual stele, across the pilasters is 2ft 10¼ in.; the extreme width of the pediment is 2ft 11¼ ins.” (Strong)

'''Layout:''' A single line of text “below the akroterion, along the architrave” (Strong).

'''Writing:''' Inscribed.

'''Condition:''' The left akroterion is missing, as is the lower left-hand corner of the relief with the legs of the stool. There are minor nicks all over. The faces of all three people – particularly that of the seated Melisto - appear to have been damaged deliberately (Scholl 1995a).

'''Decoration:''' “The two principal figures project slightly beyond the framing pilasters. … Melisto, daughter of Hegestratos… sits to the spectator’s left, on a cushioned chair without back, leaning against the pilaster, her sandaled feet resting on a footstool. …She wears the thin Ionic chiton with sleeves, under the thicker sleeveless Doric chiton, and over the whole the ample cloak of himation, one end of which she holds up with the fingers of her left hand. With her right hand she clasps the right of her husband Epigenes, who stands facing her, seen in three quarters by the spectator. He is a bearded personage of mature age; his costume is that of the ordinary Athenian citizen, namely the cloak draped over the left shoulder, leaving right shoulder and breast bare…. His left arm and hand hang quietly at his side. … Behind these two figures, and in much lower relief, stands a third – a female attendant carrying what must be her mistress’s jewel casket. Her head is shown in profile; her hair is cut short and she wears the sleeveless chiton, without any upper garment.” (Strong)

== Collection ==
'''Location:''' Lyme Park: above the fireplace recessed into the east wall of the library.

'''Collector(s):''' Collected by Mr Thomas Legh “during his stay in Athens in 1812” (Strong).

IG II(2) 6999: Sepulchral Stele

2014-07-21T15:13:28Z

Historyterry:

'''Modern Publication(s):''' Strong 1 (''editio princeps''); ''IG'' II(2) 6999; ''SEG'' 45.187; Clairmont, ''CAT'' 3.369c

'''Brief description:''' Funerary stele with three figures.

Scholl (1995b) identifies Epigenes as the poet of Middle comedy, ''PCV'' V 165-169 F 1-8. He further suggests that Epigenes is the poet or actor on the uninscribed gravestone Clairmont, ''CAT'' 1.400, also in Lyme Park, as ''CAT'' 1.400 was ‘probably found in the same place’.

== Attributes ==

'''Inscription Type:''' Funerary inscription

'''Object Type:''' Stele

'''Material:''' Marble

'''Original Location:''' Athens

'''Provenance:''' Athens, outside the walls, on the road to Thebes (Scholl 1995b).

'''Date:''' Initially dated to c.420 BC (Strong); later dated to c.350-340 BC, on the style of the relief sculpture (Scholl 1995b).

'''Dimensions:''' “The height from the lower edge of the frame to the akroterion (now broken) is 4ft 10½ in.; the width of the actual stele, across the pilasters is 2ft 10¼ in.; the extreme width of the pediment is 2ft 11¼ ins.” (Strong)

'''Layout:''' A single line of text “below the akroterion, along the architrave” (Strong).

'''Writing:''' Inscribed.

'''Condition:''' The left akroterion is missing, as is the lower left-hand corner of the relief with the legs of the stool. There are minor nicks all over. The faces of all three people – particularly that of the seated Melisto - appear to have been damaged deliberately (Scholl 1995a).

'''Decoration:''' “The two principal figures project slightly beyond the framing pilasters. … Melisto, daughter of Hegestratos… sits to the spectator’s left, on a cushioned chair without back, leaning against the pilaster, her sandaled feet resting on a footstool. …She wears the thin Ionic chiton with sleeves, under the thicker sleeveless Doric chiton, and over the whole the ample cloak of himation, one end of which she holds up with the fingers of her left hand. With her right hand she clasps the right of her husband Epigenes, who stands facing her, seen in three quarters by the spectator. He is a bearded personage of mature age; his costume is that of the ordinary Athenian citizen, namely the cloak draped over the left shoulder, leaving right shoulder and breast bare…. His left arm and hand hang quietly at his side. … Behind these two figures, and in much lower relief, stands a third – a female attendant carrying what must be her mistress’s jewel casket. Her head is shown in profile; her hair is cut short and she wears the sleeveless chiton, without any upper garment.” (Strong)

== Collection ==
'''Location:''' Lyme Park: above the fireplace recessed into the east wall of the library.

'''Collector(s):''' Part of a collection purchased by Mr Benjamin Gott and Mr Rawson when travelling from Smyrna through the islands to Athens in 1815. Gott died of a fever at Piraeus, and the marbles then passed to Mr Rawson. They were kept at Rawson’s house in Halifax for several years, during which time six of the inscriptions were copied and sent to Böckh for inclusion in ''CIG''. On Rawson’s death in 1845 or 1846, Mr Rawson’s brother, Mr S. Rawson, sold the marbles to Mr William Gott (brother of B. Gott). W. Gott then passed the marbles to his son, Rev. Dr. John Gott, who presented them with a few exceptions (Nos. 1-6, Hicks) to the Museum at Leeds (Hicks).

'''Date collected:''' Collected by Rawson in 1815.

'''Accession or catalogue number:''' LEEDM.D.1967.1231

Greek Inscriptions in the UK

2014-07-21T14:37:42Z

Historyterry: /* List of Collections */

This is a pilot project aiming to list ancient Greek inscriptions held in UK collections. For the time being, we will be interested in alphabetic Greek inscriptions on stone and metal. Our initial data-collection will concentrate on inscriptions currently located in the north of England, but we hope eventually to include those in other British and Irish collections. For more information, or to contribute material, please contact [mailto:peter.liddel@manchester.ac.uk Peter Liddel] or [mailto:polly.low@manchester.ac.uk Polly Low].
