The late earl of Colerane presented to the Society a collection of inscriptions given to him by Ferdinand Passarini, who transcribed them from stones found at Spello, the antient Hispellum, and illustrated them with short notes. The first and most considerable of them on a pedestal six palms high and four square, with a hole in the top, formerly standing near the amphitheatre, but at this time on the right hand of the door of the town-house, had been before incorrectly published by Fabretti. A fuller and more critical commentary upon the same inscription was afterwards drawn up by the late Roger Gale, esq; which, being read to the Society, was entered in their minute book, whence it is now published, together with the notes by the antiquary of Spello:

under a head, supposed of Apollo, in relief, above which, in smaller capitals, L. COMINIVS. S. L. F. F. LEM. and in the pediment a flower between two capricorns. This stone was found June 7, 1722, in the ruins of a spot without the town called Poeta, and by tradition considered as the villa of Propertius. Passarini published likewise a short piece in eight pages quarto, “de Hispello, ejusque episcopis, “ac de insignis ecclesiae collegiatae, S. Laurentii origine, dignitate & praerogativis. “Fulginiæ, 1724,” 4to. These two pieces are bound up with the Inscriptions.
