The following inscriptions, with the exception of No. 7, were copied during the cruise of Mr. Allison V. Armour's yacht ‘Utowana’ in the Eastern Mediterranean in the spring of 1904. The copying was done by Mr. D. G. Hogarth, of Magdalen College, Oxford, Mr. Richard Norton, Director of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome, and myself; and in preparing the material for publication I have had the benefit of Mr. Hogarth's advice and assistance. The inscriptions Nos. 1 and 25, as well as the three stelae from Larnaca mentioned under No. 30, are now at the American School in Rome; No. 21 is in America.
1 [Mr. A. E. Housman is to be thanked for a revision of the metrical epitaphs. Certain suggestions have been made also by the Editors of the Journal.—D.G.H.]
2 [These words cannot be regarded as certain, having been read only from a tissue-paper rubbing. It is very strange that the date should be given so precisely, and that καμάραν should be left to be inferred from the subsequent clause. But I cannot suggest any better restoration.—D.G.H.]

6 [Nevertheless I believe we have here the end of a numeral: the name ought to have occupied a larger space than was available here; it was probably cut on an upper block. D.G.H.]
7 [Had these two κιονοκέφαλα anything to do with Solomon's Jachin and Boaz with their pomegranate capitals? See I. Kings vii. 15, 21; II. Chron. iii. 15, 17.—D.G.H.]
