I depart with Dr. Timeni for Leyden, where I now propose a long stay. And here I contract an acquaintance with Mr. Neufville, an ingenious and polite gentleman, master of a good library, and a curious collection of antiquities. With him also and Dr. Timeni I visit several of the professors, as Gronovius, Perizonius, and Triglandius; and see likewise the library, and especially the manuscripts of this university. Among other curiosities in the museum of Mr. Neufville, I observed the following inscriptions, cut in marble tablets.

CONSIMILES FRATRVM TRABEAS GESTAMINA HONORVM
  TERTIA QVAE DEERANT ADDIDIMVS TITVLIS.

This, which follows, is on a stone opposite to the former.

On the opposite side was a bent bow, with a quiver and arrow, as likewise a serpent twining about the bow; and on the right side was ingraven the word ΑΝΤΙΨΙΛΟΥ.
