Relief with banquet. Three elderly male figures recline on a long couch, wearing diadems and holding large bowls in their left hands. Before them is a table with two large pomegranates and a basket of fruit. At each end of the couch is a seated woman. The head is lost of the woman on the left. At the left angle in low relief is a diminutive figure of a girl, with a basket (_calathos_); at the right angle is a diminutive figure of a boy, with a crater. The relief is bounded by pilasters and an entablature. Below is the hull of a vessel in low relief, and the metrical epitaph of Dionysodoros, son of Pytheas. [Greek: Dionysodôrou tou Pytheou. a. Dionysodôre, chaire; b. kai sy ge, ô phile, to nyn ech[on g]einôske me hôde keimenon, kalon kai agathon kai kalôs ezôkota, L]imnagenê gegonota, pasi prosphil[ê.] --_Brought from Cyzicus, in 1830, by H.M.S. Blonde._ _Found in 1880 in a store at Portsmouth._ Bluish Greek marble; height, 2 feet 5-1/2 inches; width, 2 feet 8 inches. _C.I.G._, 3684; Kaibel, 245; Wolters, _Rhein. Mus. N.F._, 1886, p. 346. [Sidenote: =737.=] Late relief with banquet. A man and woman recline on a couch. Before them is a table with food. The man puts his right arm round the neck of the woman, who appears to be holding a cup, or a wreath. On the left a woman is seated on a stool; beneath the couch are a child and a girl (the upper part alone seen), who holds a dish. The relief is bounded by two Doric columns and a pediment. The monument was erected by one Alexander for his mother, his wife Philippa, and himself. Penalties are prescribed for persons violating the tomb. Inscribed: [Greek: Alexandros Alexandrou Beithynieu[s] kai Neikomêdeus zôn heautô kateskeuas[a] to mnêmeion kai tê mêtri mou kai tê symbiô Philippa Pontianou. kai boulome meta to tethênai hêmas eis tên kamaran mêdena heteron anoixe; ei de para tauta poiêsei dôsei is ton phiskon dên. b,ph (2,500) kai is tên polin dên. b,ph (2,500). chairete.]--_Smyrna._ _Presented by M.

[Sidenote: =738.=] Sepulchral relief. Two men recline on a couch; a woman is seated on a stool at the head of the couch. The inscribed metrical epitaph, in which one Cassiodoros relates his death at the age of twenty-four, has no appropriateness to the relief.
