    To the story chased upon the pedestal of the statue the name of the "Birth of Pandora"$^{29}$ has been given; and the figures of new-born$^{30}$ gods to be seen upon it are no less than twenty in number.
    $^{29}$ "Pandoras Genesis." $^{30}$ Sillig is of opinion that this passage is corrupt, and is inclined to think, with Panofka, that the reading should be "nascenti adstantes," – gods "standing by the new-born" Pandora
