Sir: 1t may be of interest to OF your readers
to have the account of ancient Greek music in

ditiona information from the columns OF the Greek
newspaper "Atalan.is." recently established In this
city, which furnishes us with much archaeological
news Of the latest date from Greece. II says thar
according Henri Well the noted Greek scholar Of
France. the hymn. found at Delphi and recently
sung at the French School at Athens. is preserved
complete and is composed with artistic skill and
smoofhness. 1t has been studied by the archaeolo-
gist and epigraphst. Theodor Re.nach. VINO has
translated II into the musical notation of to-day and
characterfzes II as composed In the vely fhryRian
mode with the Dorian notation. The hmm with
its music was accompanied with an inscription Of
thrty-seven lines descrbinr the festival ceiebra ted
at Delphi and containing historical Illusions. from
which its approximate dste IS determined somewhat
whose value has been properly eTnpha slzed by Mr..
Krehbiel the fragments of another were found, Ike
taining prayers for the guild Of Macnads and for
the Roman power
Mr.. Krehblel as already existant there may be
added two other fragments, one from an inscription,
found at Tralles in Asia Minor and published by
Professor Ramsey in 1883, but the Significance OF
was not recognized til 1890 when Professor Wessely
transated hem into our notation The text smonnns
four short sentences only. Its date Is placed
about the beginning of our era.
The papyrus IS from the collection OF the Arch
duke In Vienna, and as short the preceding and

the papyrus not written ill about the time OF
Augustus. Some hints to the music Of fhls
