Extract
The pottery found hitherto in Cyprus has been for the most part of a rude, local fabric, resembling both in its shapes and system of decoration the pottery of Egypt. The Greek element in the population of Cyprus and the frequent participation of outside Greeks in the affairs of the island might have been expected to leave some decided trace in the pottery. But this expectation had not been realised to any degree till last year, when excavations at Poli tis Chrysokhou brought to light an extensive series of Greek vases and other antiquities. Among the vases were the two here published.
The locality where these antiquities were found is supposed to be that of the ancient Marion, a town on the west coast of Cyprus, of which little is recorded except that it had been taken by an Athenian fleet under Kimon, on which occasion its inhabitants were treated with much clemency, and that subsequently it was destroyed by Ptolemy, on which occasion its inhabitants were removed to Paphos. At that time it was ruled by a prince called Stasioekos.
