Dear Rodney:

P. Dikaios and I have just this afternoon concluded a tentative division of finds. Tentative because he would like to consult Peter on a few points and I likewise would like your reactions.

Our results according to categories are as follows:

Architecture 1 simplified Corinthian(?) limestone capital 1 limestone anta capital

Division of Basilica marbles to await Peter's publication.
