[...] in digging, we found two bodies of persons full grown, and another of a child, lying side by side, without any urns with them. But in tumbling the earth, we picked up the fragments of a wide earthen pan, flat and shallow, (perhaps a libatory vessel, to hold either the blood or some other parts of the ancient sacrifices at funerals), which, being joined together, are represented by the figure of the vessel No. 3.
