[Eng. Arundel; -ian.] Pertaining to any of the succe ive Earls of Arundel. A run deli an or Oxford Marbles : Certain marbles brought from the East by Mr. William Petty, who purchased them for Thomas, Earl of Arundel, in 1624. Arriving in London in the year 1627, they were placed in the gardens of Arundel House, which then occupied the site on which Arundel, Norfolk, Surrey, and Howard Streets, running off the Strand, in London, now stand. In 1667 the Hon. Henry Howard, grandson of the first purchaser, and afterwards Duke of Norfolk, presented the collection, which had met with Vandal treatment in London, to the University of Oxford. It was either from his ancestor or from him that the term A run deli an , applied to the marbles, was derived. The marbles contain the Parian Chronicle (q.v.).
