      artists in mosaic who flourished in the Augustan age. His name occurs on two inscriptions
      found at Perinthus, from one of which we learn that he adorned the temple of Fortune in that
      city, and that the Alexandrian merchants, who frequented the city, erected a statue in honour
      of him. The second inscription is the epitaph of a mosaic artist, who is said in it to have
      left a son, his associate and equal in the art; from which it would seem probable that both
      father and son were named Proclus. The second inscription, as restored, runs thus :--</p><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Πάσαις ἐν πολίεσσι τέχνην ἤσκησα πρὸ πάντων<lb/>
