XXVI. Observations on a Greek Sepulchral Monument in the Possession of Maxwell Garthshore, M.D. F.R.S. and F.A.S. By Taylor Combe, Esq. F.A.S.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
The antient monument, of which I have now the honour to transmit to the Society a description, was brought into England about the year 1777 by a gentleman of the name of Turnbull, who had resided a considerable time at Smyrna, had travelled through Egypt, and visited most of the Grecian cities and islands. This and other specimens of antiquity, chiefly Egyptian, at his death, he bequeathed to Dr. Garthshore, by whose indulgence I have been permitted the use of them; but as they were bequeathed without any history as to the places from whence they cames or as to the manner in which they were obtained, we can gain no other information concerning them, than what is to be gathered from the antiquities themselves.

page 287 note [f] The words ἐχ ἐλάΧιςτον are used by Xenophon for this reason. Though the ἰπωεες were considered high in rank, they were yet not of the first order. The Athenians were divided into three classes. The first consided of the ωενταχοσιομεδιμνοι so called from the quantity of land which they cultivated; the second of the ιπωεες, who, as being rich, provided horses for the service of the country by an exprefs law; the third of the ζιγιται, who were not eligible to the offices of magistracy, and were inferior to the two former.
