[Sidenote: =620.=]

Cast of the sepulchral monument of Ameinocleia. A lady is engaged with a girl who is adjusting a sandal on her left foot. She chiefly supports herself on the right foot, and helps her balance by touching with her hand the head of the maid kneeling before her. As in the monument of Hegeso (No. 619), there is a marked contrast between the mistress, richly draped in a chiton and himation, and the girl before her, who has a plain long-sleeved chiton and a cap. On the left is a female figure, perhaps a sister of Ameinocleia. She seems to be reading a tablet. The composition is framed by two pilasters, surmounted by a pediment.

Inscribed [Greek: Ameinokleia Andromeno(u)s thugater L...] Ameinocleia, daughter of Andromenes.... This relief appears to belong to the close of the 5th century B.C. The original, of Pentelic marble, which is now at _Athens_, was discovered in 1836 _at the Piraeus_.

[Sidenote: =625.=]

A nude youth stands, half turned to the left, and takes some object, perhaps a lekythos, from a boy standing before him. The boy is nude except for a chlamys thrown over his left shoulder, which is probably that of the older youth. Compare the Parthenon frieze, north side, figure No. 110. The relief is bounded by two pilasters surmounted by a pediment. On the side of one of the pilasters is the inscription [Greek: EDD].--_Delos._ _Presented by A. E. Impey, Esq., 1825._

[Sidenote: =628.=]

Sepulchral monument of Xanthippos. An elderly bearded figure is seated on a chair. He holds a foot in his extended right hand. Diminutive figures of a woman and a girl stand beside him. The girl is gazing at the foot, and raises her hands towards it, while the woman looks towards Xanthippos. She holds a bird in her right hand. It has been supposed that the foot is a votive offering, to commemorate a remarkable cure. Wolters, however, explains the object as a shoemaker's last ([Greek: kalapous], cf. _Monumenti dell' Inst._, xi. pl. 29), and interprets it as an allusion to the trade of Xanthippos. This theory hardly accounts for the gestures of the attendant figures.

Above the relief is a pediment, inscribed [Greek: Xanthippos]. (Pl. xi., fig. 2.)

Sepulchral monument of Jason. A physician, Jason, an elderly bearded man, is seated on a stool. Before him stands a boy, undergoing examination, and clearly shown to be suffering, by his swollen belly and wasted limbs. On the right is a vessel of peculiar form, resembling a cupping glass, but on a scale out of all proportion to that of the group, and not to be considered as a part of it.

The inscription runs: [Greek: Iason ho kai Dekmos Acharneus iatros, k.t.l.], and contains the names of 'Jason, called also Decimus, of the Acharnian deme, a physician,' and of other members of his family. The relief is surmounted by a row of roughly indicated antefixal tiles.

[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._

[Sidenote: =710.=]

Circular pedestal or altar on a square plinth, on one side of which is a sepulchral relief. A man stands on the right, clasping the right hand of a seated woman, probably his wife. She holds her veil with her left hand. Behind the woman stands Hermes Psychopompos, about to conduct her shade to Hades. He has petasos, talaria, chlamys and caduceus. On the right is another male figure standing, with folded hands, and beyond is what appears to be an altar. The altar is rectangular, and is surmounted by a conical object, round which a serpent is twined. By the side of the altar is the mutilated figure of a boy. On the extreme left behind Hermes is a sundial, to which his hand is pointing. At the side of the chair stands a draped female attendant of diminutive stature. This figure is much defaced, and the lower part is broken away. The head of this figure has been broken off, and the faces and general surface of all the figures are much eaten away by exposure to weather. This relief occupies about a third of the circle of the pedestal, the remainder being ornamented by festoons of ivy suspended between three bulls' heads. In the centre of the top of the pedestal is a round hole, as if to receive a dowel, and the surface of the marble seems prepared for a joint. The whole may have served as a pedestal for a statue.--_Obtained from Greece by the fourth Earl of Aberdeen, and presented by the fifth Earl of Aberdeen, 1861._

RELIEFS REPRESENTING THE SEPULCHRAL BANQUET.

For a discussion of the interpretation of this class of reliefs, see above, p. 298.

[Sidenote: =711.=]

Cast of a sepulchral relief, sometimes known as the "Death of Socrates." A man, bearded, reclines on a couch, with a bowl in his right hand, held out as if to pour a libation. A woman seated on a stool by the foot of the couch, extends her hands. On the right is a man, draped and bearded, and on the left a nude youth who stands with a jug by a large crater. Below the couch is a dog gnawing a bone. The original, of white marble, was found at _the Piraeus_ in 1838, and is now in the _National Museum at Athens_.

Height, 1 foot 7-1/2 inches; width, 2 feet 1 inch. [Greek:
Ephemeris], 1839, No. 269; Le Bas, _Mon. Fig._, pl. 52;
Pervanoglu, _Familienmahl_, p. 24, No. 60; Mitchell, p. 504;
Wolters, No. 1052; Roscher, _Lexicon_, p. 2574.

[Sidenote: =712.=]

Relief with banquet. Two male figures recline together on a couch. One is a bearded man, the other is a youth. The man holds a bowl in his left hand and places his right hand on the shoulder of the youth who turns his head towards him. Before the couch is a table with provisions. On the right is a nude youth with a jug and bowl. On the left is a youth, wearing tunic and chlamys, who leads a horse. The relief is bounded by pilasters and an architrave.

On the lower margin is the modern inscription _Aesculapio Tarentino Salenius Arcas_, added by some person who supposed that the relief was a votive tablet to Aesculapius. The inscription, however, makes it probable that the relief was obtained at Tarentum. The type of the horse also agrees well with that on the coins of Tarentum, of about the close of the fourth century, B.C. The relief is perhaps erected to a father and two sons. It is also possible that the two figures of the youth represent the same person, and that only two persons in all are here commemorated.--_Presented by W. R. Hamilton, Esq., 1845._

Relief with banquet, serpent, and sacrifice. Two men recline on a couch. Both have cups in their left hands.

A woman, seated on the end of the couch, holds a cup in her left hand and stretches out her right hand to the table. Below the table is a coiled serpent. On the left of the woman is a nude youth holding up a rhyton. Beyond is a square altar, to which a boy, who is now almost obliterated, leads a pig. He holds a bowl in his left hand. On the left are four adult persons and two infants, and above, the head of a horse in a frame. The relief is bounded by two pilasters surmounted by an entablature, above which roof-tiles are slightly indicated.--_Townley Coll._

Relief with banquet. A man reclines on a couch, with a bowl in his left hand; with the right hand he holds a wreath on his head. Before him is a table with food.

[Greek:
Ho demos Lenaion Artemidorou.
kai to prin en polemois teron pyrgon, parodita,
