West Derby, L[iver]pool. - Thanks King for the gems, which came back safely, Gives the thoughts of his friend Simonides, 'a man by the bye, hated by your college, especially by Mr W. A. Wright, though as I think without reason] on the gems. The gnostic tricephalous gem Simonides believes has an Egyptian inscription on the reverse, not Coptic; the other gnostic gem he thinks shows a leach and an owl, and translates the inscription as from Egyptian. Discussion of who cut the gems. Simonides can 'make nothing' of the inscription on the zodiacal gem.
