Arundel Marbles

Major portion of an important Greek chronicle discovered on the island of Paros. The author's intention was to list the main events of Athens from the period of Cecrops (a mythical king, attributed to about 1581 BC) up to 264–263 BC (probably the author's own time). The Arundel Marbles, which contains 93 lines (with several lacunae, or gaps), was brought to England in 1627 on behalf of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, and was published in London 1628.
