Inclosed I send you, for the information of the Society of Antiquries, a letter I have received from the Reverend Mr. John Carter of Lincoln, accompained with very neat and accurate drawings of some curious and sepulchral antiquities lately discovered in the same field to the East of that town, in which former discoveries had been made of the like ancient sepulchrals, an account of which I communicated to the Society in 1791. See Archæologia, vol. X. p. 345.

page 110 note [e] Q. Curtius, speaking of the sepulchre of Cyrus, fays “Solium, in quo corpus jacebat, velavit,” I.b. X. cap. I. 32. “Ubi Pitiscus in loc. annotat. Solium propriè est alveus, in quem lavaturi descendebant.” Græci ωυλον vocant.” The word Solium, as applied to vessels, seems to be derived from being q. Solidum, de uno ligno factum, scooped out of one piece of wood. Hence another resemb'ance to the Solia fictlia mentioned by Pliny, which were most probably sometimes all of one piece, as was this earthen globe.
