_Inscription on a Tomb in Finland._--Can any reader of "N. & Q." explain
the meaning of the following inscription?
"IETATIS IN SUBDITOS
MARTYRI
.`IET:S CONIUGALIS
:: :::IV."
It appears on an old monument of considerable size in a Finnish
burial-ground at Martishkin near Peterhoff on the Gulf of Finland. The
letters are in brass on a stone slab. The dots before the IV., and in the
other word, are holes in the stone wherein the missing characters had been
fixed.
