XV. Observations on the same Inscription. By Dr. Adee, in a letter to the Rev. Dr. Milles

Extract

I have paid attention to the inscription which you submitted to me. I am sorry I cannot assent to the explanations which other learned gentlemen have offered; neither am I well satisfied with my own. Inscriptions in general, Greek ones particularly, are accompanied with great embarrassments, owing to their shortness, the ignorance of carvers, and the inaccuracy of transcribers and publishers. Few copies are fac similes.
