Of the following inscription Dr. Wilhelm, secretary of the Austrian archaeological school in Athens, with much difficulty made a squeeze and a copy. With great generosity and kindness he has allowed me to give his copy here. The inscription consists of thirty-four lines of more than sixty letters of very small size. It shows the relations between Sinope and Histiaea in the third century B.C. According to Dr. Wilhelm, the date of the inscription is the first half or middle of the third century B.C. For the first lines cf. Wilhelm, Eine Proxenenliste an Histiaia, in the Arch.-Epigr. Mitt. aus Oester. 1891. ἔδοξεν [ 3 τῶι δήμωι· ἐπειδὴ Σινωπεῖς ἄποικοι... being on good terms with the Histiaeans and the λοιποὶ Ἕλληνες have sent an embassy to renew the old friendship. 1. 7, συν[αί] τιοι γεγένηνται σωτηρίας. 1. 11, καὶ ὅτι ̔Αρμοξένωι πολίτει ἡμετέρωι [ἔδωκεν ?] | 12 ὁ δῆμος δωρεὰν τάλαντον περιποιούμενος τὴν πρὸς τὸν δῆμον τῶν Ἱστιαιέων χάριν, καὶ [ 13 τὴν προυπάρχουσαν φιλίαν ταῖς πόλεσιν ἀνανεοῦνται κ.τ.λ. the ambassadors ask to set aside a ὑπόμνημα δι(α)φόρως ? | 15 γεγραμμένον καθελεῖν, τὰ φιλάνθρωπα διαφυλάττοντες κ.τ.λ. In ll. 16/17 we have the well-known formula ὅπως | ἂν οὖν εἰδῇ ὁ δῆμος ὁ τῶν Σινωπέων ὅτι ἐπίσταται κ.τ.λ. (that the demos of Histiaea is always grate ... 28 ful to its friends for τὰ κοινὰ εὐεργετήματα and taking care καὶ κοινῆι τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἰδίαι τῶν ἀφικνουμένων [εἰς Ἱστίαιαν]). In 1. 20 begins the answer given to the ambassadors of Sinope, ἀποκρίνασθαι [ 21 μὲν τοῖς πρεσβευταῖς ὅτι ἡ πόλις οὐ μόνον πρὸς [τοὺς ἑαυτῆ]ς γείτονας οἰκείως διάκειται ἀλλὰ | [κα]ὶ [τοῖ]ς Σινωπε[ῦ]σιν ἐκ παλαιοῦ φίλοις καὶ ἀδελφοῖς ... continues friendly, etc. After such phrases in lines 21-26, the decree runs as follows, 1. 27 — ορίσθαι ἐξ ἴσου τά τε δίκαια καὶ τὰ φιλάνθρωπα τοῖς παραγενομένοις | 2 Σινωπέων καθάπερ τοῖς ἰδίοις πολίταις καὶ εἶναι ἀσφάλειαν καὶ ἀσυλίαν τοῖς ἀφι 2 κνουμένοις Σινωπέων εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἢ εἰς τὸ ἐμ[πόρ]ιο[ν ὃ ἔχει?] ὁ δῆμος ἀπὸ ó Ιστιαιέων | 30 καὶ τῶν ἐνοικούντων· ὑπάρχειν δὲ Σινωπεῦσιν καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ φιλάν 31θρωπα παρὰ τοῦ δήμου ὧν ἂν χρείαν ἔχωσιγ καὶ πρόσοδον πρὸς τὴν βουλὴν καὶ τὸν ] 32 δῆμον μετὰ τὰ ἱερὰ καὶ ισοτέλειαν καθάπερ καὶ Ἱστιαιεῦσιν ἐν Σινώπηι· καλεῖν | 33 δὲ καὶ ὅταν τὰ Σωτήρια θύηι ἡ πόλις ἐπὶ ξένια Σινωπέων τοὺς ἐν-ἐπιδημοῦντας, | 3 εἶναι δὲ καὶ τοὺς πρεσβευτάς Μητ[ρ]ό[βι]ον?

EDITORIAL NOTE FOR the past seven years the Papers of the Schools affiliated with the Archaeological Institute of America—at Athens, in Rome, and in Jerusalem - like the Papers of the Institute itself, have been printed in this JOURNAL; but the Council of the Institute has recently authorized the issue of supplementary volumes of Papers, when the material suitable for publication calls for a different mode or form of publication. The first volume of Supplementary Papers of the School in Rome is now ready. It is a large volume of over two hundred and thirty pages, and is profusely illustrated with fullpage plates, maps, and cuts in the text. The articles in it cover a wide range of topics, archaeological, antiquarian, historical, palaeographical, and topographical. Most of them are by officers and members of the School, including one - in German - by Dr. Arthur Mahler, lecturer on Greek and Roman Sculpture; in two articles of topographical and historical interest, Thomas Ashby, Jr., Esq., Vice-Director of the British School in Rome, has collaborated. The contents of the volume are Stamps on Bricks and Tiles from the Aurelian Wall at Rome' (pp. 1-86), by George J. Pfeiffer, Albert W. Van Buren, and Henry H. Armstrong; La Civita near Artena in the Province of Rome' (pp. 87-107), by Thomas Ashby, Jr., and Dr. Pfeiffer; 'Carsioli' (pp. 108-140), by Dr. Pfeiffer and Mr. Ashby; Die Aphrodite von Arles' (pp. 141-144), by Dr. Mahler; ‘A New Variant of the "Sappho" Type' (pp. 145-147), by Herbert R. Cross; The Christian Sarcophagus in S. Maria Antiqua in Rome (pp. 148–156), by Charles R. Morey; 'The Text of Columella' (pp. 157–190), by Mr. Van Buren; The Date of the Election of Julian' (pp. 191-195), by Mr. Morey; 'Report on Archaeological Remains in Turkestan' (pp. 196–216), by Professor Richard Norton, Director of the School. There is also a good index. In the Prefatory Note the Director gives a list of the Papers that have already appeared in the JOURNAL since the founding of the School in 1895. 6 A large edition of the volume has been prepared that copies may be sent to members of the Archaeological Institute. The general public can obtain them at $3.00 each. Correspondence with reference to the volume should be addressed to Professor SAMUEL BALL PLATNER, Secretary of the Managing Committee of the American School in Rome, Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. 1905 January-July ARCHAEOLOGICAL NEWS1 NOTES ON RECENT EXCAVATIONS AND HAROLD N. FOWLER, Editor GENERAL AND MISCELLANEOUS ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANCIENT HISTORY IN TURKESTAN. -In Rec. Past, IV, 1905 (June), pp. 179–185 (4 figs.), are some abstracts by R. PUMPELLY from Explorations in Turkestan (published by the Carnegie Institution), describing the tumuli (Kurgans), the ancient cities, and in general the field for archaeological research in Turkestan. Ibid., pp. 186-188 (fig.), similar abstracts by W. M. DAVIS describe the archaeological remains in the Tian Shan, Turkestan. These include mounds on the Kugart terrace, stone circles near Son Kul, old canals near Son Kul, and various monuments in the Issik Kul district. BURIED CITIES OF CENTRAL ASIA. In Rec. Past, May, 1905, pp. 144-150 (3 figs.), abstracts from SVEN HEDIN'S Central Asia and Tibet: Toward the Holy City of Lassa are published, describing the ruins of the deserted cities of Lop Nov, northeast of Tibet, especially the city of Lou-lan. The changes in the flow of water left these towns in a desert of drifting sand. Chinese coins and writings found here belong chiefly to the first three centuries after Christ. Lou-lan seems to have been destroyed in the fourth century. ANCIENT MONUMENTS IN SERVIA. In Jh. Oesterr. Arch. I. VIII, 1905, Beilage, cols. 1-24 (2 figs.; many facsimiles of inscriptions), N. VULIĆ publishes the results of archaeological excursions in Servia in 1904. Moesia Superior.

BUCKINGHAM, Professor HARRY E. BURTON, Mr. HAROLD R. HASTINGS, Professor ELMER T. MERRILL, Professor FRANK G. MOORE, Mr. CHARLES R. MOREY, Professor LEWIS B.
