Soundings on the 6th and 8th found glacial mud at 630 and 529 fathoms. The 'Endurance' was lying in a pool covered by young ice on the 9th.

To the R. is a fine Marsyas, doomed to be flayed alive by order of Apollo; to L. 562, the Borghese Centaur, and near the exit, 529, the charming Diana of Gabii, a Greek girl fastening her mantle.

He also was born in Miletus, but at what time is unknown, probably B.C. 529. Like Thales, he held to the eternity of matter.
Leaf suggests that the white colour represents "a corslet not of metal but of linen," and cites Iliad, II. 529, 5 30. The corslets were of linen, embroidered in cotton and gold.
