Note 67 — CABINET CYCLOPÆDIA. (continued 9)

There is an error in this inscription with regard to the day of Foscolo's death, and also probably of his age, since it is supposed that he was not more than forty-nine when he died. His countrymen also regret that instead of the above inscription, that was not adopted which he wrote for himself, under the feigned name of Didimo Chierico, which runs thus:—

Didymi Clerici Vitia: virtus: ossa Hic: post: annos . . . Conquiescere cœpere.
