Quote:Pierced by weapons? I had seen it, and I don't remember any indications of the damages... Stone used is quite poor, so there are a lot of erosion marks, besides T&Y's are very crude. What arguments Pandremalis presents to support this?
I don't really buy it either; looking at photographs of them, I don't distinguish any such marks which could definitively be said to have been made by a sculptor. Markle just states that Pantermalis told him that they were pierced by weapons without any further discussion.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
