[544] The inscription on the Jena stamp is as follows (see Tochon’s Dissertation, p. 66): PHRONIMI DIAPSORICUM OPOBAL. AD CLAR.
[545] The inscription alluded to runs thus:—PHRONIMI DIASMYRN. POST IMPE. LIP. EX OV. Or, when extended,—“Phronimi Diasmyrnes post impetum lippitudinis ex ovo.”—Tochon, p. 66. Phronimus is the name, of course, of the occulist or proprietor.
