καὶ νῦν τηρήσω, ὡς δύναμαι, νέκυς ὤν.
The 'tower' which Lenaios undertakes to defend in death has been conjectured to be the Dipylon gate at Athens, whence the relief was probably obtained.
Bluish Greek marble; height, 3 feet 11½ inches; width, 1 foot 7 inches. Rhein. Mus. N.F. 1848, p. 82; Kaibel, 111.
724. Sculptured pedestal. On the front is a relief of a banquet. A man reclines on a couch, with a table of food before him. He holds a bowl in his left hand, and clasps with his right hand the hand of a woman who is seated at the foot of the couch. A boy stands on the left. A wreath is carved on the pilaster to the right of the relief, which probably contained the inscription: Ὁ δῆμος.
Inscribed: Ἑλλανίων Ταρσεύς, Hellanion of Tarsus. On the right and left ends the pedestal is adorned with pediments. Above, it is roughly worked to fit the plinth of a statue.—Xanthos? Presented by J. Scott Tucker, Esq., R.N.
Bluish-grey marble; height, 2 feet ¼ inch; width, 2 feet 7 inches. Arch. Anzeiger, 1851, p. 128; Pervanoglu, Familienmahl, p. 34, No. 113.
725. Fragment of relief, with banquet. The upper half is wanting. A man reclines on a couch, and holds a bowl and a rhyton (?), which were perhaps of bronze attached, in the left and right hands respectively. A woman sits on the end of the couch. On the right is a diminutive male figure with the hands clasped. On the left is a girl, who stands leaning against the foot of the couch, and holds an ivy-leaf fan in her left hand.—Halicarnassos.
