In line 1 between the second and third words there is a garland supported by two dolphins. The provenance of the inscription is quite uncertain, and the interpretation of the last line as Σμρίων δήμoυ υ(ἱος) adopted by Garrucci and Caruana is doubtful.

^{page 26 note 3} For the Quirine tribe at Gaulus, see C.I.L. x, 7501, 7508Google Scholar, etc. The only inscription which bears on Melite, a Greek inscription mentioned in the text, is, as Mommsen observes, not conclusive. It only names the tribus Quirina.

^{page 26 note 4} I.G. xiv, 601; compare Mommsen's remark, C.I.L. x, p. 773. The Quirine tribe seems to have been used for Greeks who obtained the Roman franchise individually, and this may have been the case with Castricius, or perhaps he may have sprung from Gaulus. No certainty can therefore be deduced from its mention.

It might be argued from 7501 that the ‘municipium’ of Gaulus dated from before A.D. 29, but the argument would depend again on the occurrence of the tribe-name ‘Quirina.’

Caruana states, without details, that the foundations of one of the gates were found in 1890, and that part of the natural rock bridge of the other still remained. He also asserts the existence of a third gate, at the south-west angle of the site, but I am not inclined to agree with him. The carriage-road which enters the town on the east is of comparatively recent origin.

Prof. Zammit has kindly sent me a squeeze of it, from which it appears that Ciantar gave the text correctly. Dr. Hülsen dates the stone to the second century, as he kindly tells me.

^{page 31 note 3} C.I.L. x, 8318. Prof. Hülsen reads the text from a squeeze as follows:

The stone is broken to the right and below: at the end the line over the numeral denoting the sum is still visible. There is no sign of any line having been lost before line 1. Prof. Hülsen dates the inscription to the end of the first or the beginning of the second century. The stone is now in the possession of Dean Vassallo at Notabile.

Roman remains were noted by Houel (iv, 93) some 300 yards west of the tower of Tal-Gauhar, the northernmost of the group, lying a mile south of the village of Gudia, near the church of S. Anton, including the foundation-walls of a building 59 feet by 33 feet, and a cistern about 9 feet wide and 23 feet deep, roofed with slabs and carried on three flat arches. Houel also notices the discovery of a hoard of Roman coins then in the Barbaro collection. Mayr (op. cit. 135) saw here a fragment of a cornice of Graeco-Roman work, and noticed old foundations and an inhumation necropolis 250 paces south-east. Further north, at Tal-Liebru, are similar tombs.

^{page 50 note 3} Still Ciantar, i, p. 461, saw pavements here, one made of slabs of hard Malta stone, the other of concrete with fragments of brick in it; he also saw fragments of columns. These, of course, belonged to some later building; they were seen again in 1881: cf. Mayr, prehistoric Malta, 65.

A marble statuette of Heracles with the club, formerly in the Abela collection and now in the Valetta museum, is said to have been discovered here, but it is probably renaissance work (Abela, p. 156; Ciantar, pl. ix; Caruana, Report, 112).

Mr. Bedford in his drawing of it differed very much from me, but as he well knew the correctness of mine, he has sent mine to England…. You must know that the fragments were found in a wall with an Indian fig growing before them.’ The letter was kindly shown me by Mr. Walter Spiers, curator of the Soane museum.

^{page 58 note 3} The purpose of the rough foundations in this room, and in room 3, is quite uncertain.

^{page 58 note 4} This wall is very rough and rests on a layer 1 foot 5 inches thick, containing burnt wood and snail-shells in great abundance (7 to 10 inches down), also a few pottery fragments above (10 to 13 inches). The fact that the steps do not come through under it seems to prove it ancient.

^{page 61 note 1} The upper of these areas (I), sloping up gently, is well preserved; it measures 6 feet 6 inches in length, and 3 feet 5 inches in width; a step 8 inches or more in height led up from it, and the beginning of the return of the cement may be seen upon its vertical face. There is also plaster ¾ inch thick on the side walls on which no colour is visible. The floor of the lower landing (J) has perished. In a hole here four diamond-shaped paving tiles were found.

^{page 70 note 2} Tradition records that the cathedral occupies the site of a temple of Iuno. Agius, ii, ch. 2, states that remains of Doric columns and blocks of marble were discovered in rebuilding, and were lying in the streets; and that no less than 22 other shafts were lying about: cf. Ciantar, i, 365; Houel, iv, 77. Six of these shafts found their way down to the wharf at Mgiarro, and were removed, five to the Valetta museum and one to that of Gozo, in 1905–6 (Annual Report, 14). Houel figures (pl. 248) a headless draped female statue, and notes that a head, crowned with leaves like laurel leaves, but much damaged, which was shown him in Gozo, might, from its size, have belonged to this statue. The statue is now in the Valetta museum (fig. 26), but the head has disappeared. The statue belongs to the first century of our era: cf. Caruana, Report, p. 113. A well-tomb of the ordinary Punic type was found in the Strada Vairingia, Rabato, Gozo, which appears to have been used in Roman times, inasmuch as, besides late Carthaginian and Maltese coins, Roman coins from A.D. 138 ro 254 were discovered in it (Annual Report, 1909–10, 5).

^{page 70 note 4} In the Valetta museum are some fine fragments of fresco and coloured marbles from Haggaria, Rabat, presented by Father Magri in 1905.

^{page 70 note 5} Caruana, Report, p. 112: probably also a renaissance work. It is reported that on the hill of Ghelmus, near Zebbug, there was found in 1722–36 (under grand master Manoel) a golden heifer on a golden stand, surrounded by small round disks (like loaves): the eyes were carbuncles, and there was a larger carbuncle on the forehead. It was, however, sold, and no trace of it could be recovered. Near Garbo, in 1759, there was found a small terracotta figure of a dog seated on a base with a Phoenician inscription (Ciantar, i, 367, and pl. xii). A statuette of Hercules, similar to that in the Valetta museum, is said also to have been found in Gozo (Agius MS. ap. Caruana, Report, p. 113). A sepulchral cippus from Gozo, with the bust of a woman and (apparently) a pair of handcuffs or fetters below, is figured by Houel, iv, pl. 261, n; and a statue, which in Abela's time was in the castle, but has now disappeared, is given by Abela, p. 217 = Ciantar, pl. ii, fig. 2.

^{page 70 note 6} Annual Report, 1910–11, p. 11. An account of the building, with some photographs and an unauthorised reproduction of the plan, has appeared in the Bulletin of the Archaeological Institute of America, iii (1912), 178–180, and pls. xv-xvii. The plans and sections are the work of Mr. N. Said, assistant surveyor, to whom I desire to express my acknowledgments. Drawings of the wall-decoration by Mr. Busuttil are preserved in the Valetta museum as a record.

^{page 72 note 1} One measured 5 feet 3 inches by 1 foot 7 inches by 1 foot 2½. inches.

^{page 72 note 1} It can be traced for some 26 feet; it is built of solid blocks of stone (13 inches wide, 10 inches high), in which is cut a gutter 4½ inches wide by 5 inches deep.

^{page 72 note 2} The front of the seat has a simple moulding. It runs for 2 feet 11½ inches along one side of the room, and 3 feet 10 inches along the other. It is 1 foot 4 inches wide, 4½ inches thick, and stands on profiled supports 1 foot high.

^{page 73 note 1} A few only are preserved in situ; each side is 2 inches in length. There is a little painted plaster of the usual kind in situ above the seat.

^{page 73 note 2} One is 1 foot by 9 inches by 11½ inches; another 12½ by 14 by 12 inches, with an oval depression in the upper surface, and the third and fourth 9 by 10 by 12½ inches and 9 by 11 by 12½ inches; of these last two, one half is split off diagonally.

^{page 73 note 3} The one preserved gives a rise of 2½ inches only.

^{page 73 note 4} Size 4 by 6 by 3½ inches.
