Although the Captive Races – the Nine Bows,
five Asiatic and four African - upon these
sepulchral seals are generally disposed
in three rows of three, it will be noticed
in this series of impressions that there
does not seem to have been any
precise invariable rule for their number,
distinction of Race <their/<nor> disposition,> nor.
The devices show in one case the nine
Captives all Asiatic, or/<in another> the first five are
Asiatic and the latter four African, in
a third the racial characteristics are
not differentiated at all, in a fourth
we find an upper row of three Asiatics,
a medial row of four Africans, and
a lower row of two Asiatics, and
on a fifth example only their fxxx[?]/<our>
Captives one above the other/<disposed prone,> <depicted prone>,
lying one above the other.
