A Fragment of an Egyptian Mummy, the Flesh converted into a Sort of black Rosin by the Oil or Gums used at the embalming, which hath so incorporated it self, that the very inmost Part of the Bones are of as black a Colour, as if burnt. Here are also Samples of three different Sorts of Linen Cloths, wherein it was wrapped, each of deeper Tincture than other, the outmost painted with Blue. Given me by Mr. Kemp of London, who hath two entire Mummies with Hieroglyphicks.

To the Roman Monuments before-mentioned (p. 159, &c.) may be added, another Sepulchral Monument, since procured from the same Place, whereupon are three Demy-Statues in Bass-Ralieve, but the Inscription not legible, and Part broken off; it is now about a Foot and half Square. Also a Commemorative Monument framed Altar-wise, only six Inches in Breadth, and 18 in Height: Upon the Top are three Rolls, but no Discus, else it had passed for an Altariolum; for I never saw any other Sort of Roman Monument so small, till I had the Favour to see Mr. Kemp's noble Collections at London, wherein are some of this Size. The Altars indeed were sometimes of a very low Stature, little bigger than Salt-cellars; and sometimes even by noted Antiquaries, mistaken for them; but these have always a Hollow (for Incense) upon the Top, which helped forward their wrong Conjecture at their Primitive Use. Which Aræ are therefore justly distinguished from Altaria. Aræ dictæ ab ariditate, quia in iis adoletur ignis: Altaria ab alendo, quia igni adduntur alimenta. At the same Place was also found a Roman Altar, here deposited, the Discus or Hearth is very large for the Size of it, which is but 14 Inches high, and of Breadth proportionable, but the Inscription is obliterated.
