Excerpt from The Collection of Ancient Greek Inscriptions, Vol. 2: In the British Museum The first Part of 'The Collection of Greek Inscriptions in the British Museum, ' published in 1874, contained those found in Attika. In editing the Part now published I have followed the geographical arrangement adopted by Bockh, placing first the inscriptions from the Peloponnese, after which follow those from Northern Greece, Macedonia, Thrace, the Kimmerian Bosporos, and the islands of the Greek Archipelago. All the inscriptions from the island of Kalymna, and most of those from Rhodes, Kos, and Lesbos, are now published for the first time. I have to acknowledge the very valuable aid I have received in preparing this Part from Mr. A. S. Murray and Mr. Cecil H. Smith, Assistants in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, who have carefully collated the uncial texts with the original marbles, and revised every sheet as it passed through the press, contributing at the same time valuable suggestions as to the decypherment and interpretation of certain very difficult inscriptions. Part III, edited by the Rev. E. L. Hicks, and now in the Press, will contain the inscriptions from Priene, Ephesos, and Iasos.
