_Inscription near Chalcedon._--In 1675, when Sir Geo. Wheler and his

travelling companion visited Chalcedon (as recorded in his _Voyage from

Venice to Constantinople_, fol., Lond. 1682, p. 209.), it was famous only

for the memory of the great council held there in A.D. 327, the twentieth

of the reign of Constantine the Great:

"The first thing we did (he says) was to visit the metropolitan

church, where they say it was kept; but M. Nanteuil assured us

that it was a mile from thence, and that he had there read an

inscription that mentioneth it. Besides, it is a small obscure

building, incapable to contain such an assembly."

Has the inscription here spoken of been noticed by any traveller, and

can any of your readers refer to a copy of it; and say whether it is

cotemporary, and whether it has been more recently noticed?
