XXXVII. Some Observations on an antique Marble of the Earl of Pembroke
View through CrossRef

The inscription, which ends in a circle round it (for so Mr. Cowdry describes it, p. 116.) runs thus:This marble and inscription are unquestionably very old, as I judge both from the form of the letters, and there being no appearance of the four last invented letters of the Greek Alphabet.
