This sculpture, and the following, No. 746, have been placed here, though they do not include the banquet, because they have some details, such as the serpent and the horse's head, similar to those on the banquet reliefs.--_Ephesus._ _Excavated by Mr. Wood, between the Magnesian Gate and the Temple of Artemis._ Ephesian marble; height, 3 feet; width, 1 foot 7-1/2 inches. Wood, _Ephesus_, p. 123; _Greek Inscriptions in Brit. Mus._, DCXXV_a._ [Sidenote: =746.=] A boy, Serapion, stands between two figures, probably those of his father and mother. All three are closely wrapped in himatia. Behind is a tree, about which is a serpent; a bird sits on a branch. The relief is bounded by pilasters, a circular arch with rosettes in the spandrels, and a pediment. Inscribed: [Greek: Serapiôn, chrêste kai alype chaire]. Greek marble; height, 3 feet 2 inches; width, 1 foot 8-1/4 inches. This stone was formerly at Venice, and afterwards in London, "apud Dodd chemicum." Boeckh, _C.I.G._, 6990. RELIEFS WITH RIDER AND HORSE, HEROIFIED. In the following reliefs the deceased person is heroified, and represented as receiving libations or worship. The sepulchral serpent is frequently introduced. For a discussion of the type, see above, p. 301. [Sidenote: =750.=] Sepulchral relief of a warrior. In the centre of the relief is a bearded male figure, heavily armed. He wears a helmet, cuirass, and greaves, and has a spear in his left hand. He stands near a trophy which consists of a helmet, cuirass, and greaves attached to the trunk of a tree. On the left side of the trophy stands a female figure, pouring a libation from a jug into a cup. A serpent, coiled about the trophy, drinks from the cup. On the right of the relief is the forepart of the warrior's horse and the head of a groom. The relief is bounded by two pilasters and an architrave. The inscription on the upper and lower edges contains a list of names of men in the dative case, with their cities added. The persons commemorated belonged to various parts of the Peloponnesus, Northern Greece, Thrace and Macedonia. From the position of the inscription, it is plain that it is independent of the relief, and probably it is earlier.--_Brought from Greece by Mr. Topham, 1725; Presented by Sir Joseph Banks and the Hon.
