The final letter of this little word has been supplied, and an m may easily have crept into the place of an r. But I hasten to send you the Inscription, ^ just as Visconti sent it to me. His attention must have been wholly turned to the last two lines, with their foregleams of immortality. He did not speak of it as a sample of classical Latin, or as a model of ele- gant versification ; but only as a striking and touching instance of that yearning for a future state, to which some of the ancient... inscriptions bear witness. He assigned no precise date for' it, but ascribed it to a period not far from the birth of Christ. There were several Ponipeys of the name of Sextus, and sons of Sextus, about that time, — three or four of them in lineal suc- cession. They were of the elder branch of the family, which, according to classical usage, may be the meaning of maxima domus in the 6th line.. It can hardly be supposed that these words were intended to signify " the biggest house!" I do not find, however, that the surname of Justus was worn by either Sextus, or that either of them was designated by the official title of Praeco.
