beaucoup de vertu à une figure Priapique con-facrée préalablement par les Prêtres, Dans les excavations de Portici, vers la porte de la villefouterraine , on diftingue les ruines dun édifice , dont il refloittrois pilaflres debout. Celui du milieu étoit remarquable par unPhallus fculpté, au haut, dans une niche quarrée & en relieffur une pierre travertine. Au-deffous, fur une brique, étoitgravée une infcription en quatre lignes, que le tems avoitrendu indéchiffrables. On fait quà Rome on voyoit aux lieuxde débauche le nom de chaque Courtifane fur la porte de fachambre; on lifoit aufli fur le même écriteau le prix auquel ellesétoit taxée.

Le Vice niroitpoint tête levée , sil avoit lur le front un figne qui puiffe lefaire reconnoîtie. Planches CLVI, CLVII. Ces deux rhalus de grandeur différente, mais prefque fetn-blabes pour la forme , nous vienn -nt des excavations de Ré-fine , doù is furent retirés , le 20 Mai 1740 ; ils figurent unaniiual ailé, dont la partie poftérieuie du corps tient de larature du lion ou du chien. Sufpendus à un anneau par unechaîne de fer , ils fufpendent à leur tour quatre petites cloches. On fait que le Phallus joue un très-grand rôle dans la My-thologie Egyptienne Les habitans des rives du Nil, dont lalangue étoit toute en hyéioglyphes , trouvèrent maintes oc-cafions de le placer & de lui faire fignifier une infinité de cho-fes , tant facrées que profanes. Ih lui donnèrent quantité dat-tribut
