Author Description

Excerpt from Aegyptische Urkunden Aus Den Koeniglichen Museen Zu Berlin, Vol. 4 The great series of granite stelae at San have suffered severely every one of them having been used up for building material in later times, and all but one being broken. Their loss, however, is not so much due to this injury as to the severe weathering, which had before they were thus used up, scaled off the surface from most of them. For a statement of their dimensions see Part I., sect. 24, where the plan number of the largest is misprinted 161 for 164. The inscriptions, so far as they are legible, are given here in Nos. 69 to 82. No 78 bis I had supposed might be the missing piece of No. 78, but on comparing them together this is seen not to be the case for several reasons. The upper part of stele 196 (plan) may be seen in the foreground of the photograph, pl. Xiv. 5, in Part I. The fragments (inscrips. 83 to 86) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
