The Mormon Joseph Smith, in his Pearl of Great Price, 8vo., Liverpool, 1851, p. 24, has engraved another of these hypocephali, which, in the arrangement of its subjects and the figures represented, is like No. 8445. The inscription is so badly engraved that it is not possible to make out its meaning, and Smith's interpretations throw no light upon it.
