Content (note)

It is wrongly cited by Lanciani 173 as f. 33 and connected with Bn 4. 29 & 30. See Engelmann's Capp. 284. 53,57, which show the same animals, but differently disposed, and must go back to the original. For the subject compare App. 10 which was found in the Baths of Constantine in 1710 (Bartoli)
