At Philae, Captain Lyons, while surveying for the Egyptian Govern-
ment in connexion with the Nile Eeservoir scheme, has done much
excavation, clearing up a temple of Augustus on the north and the great
colonnade on the south, a temple built by the rebel King Hornezatef,
contemporary with Ptolemy V., and a Ptolemaic temple of the local god
Arihesnefer. Herr L. Borchardt, a Berlin architect and Egyptologist,
has spent most of the winter with Captain Lyons. Their chief discovery
has been a trilingual inscription of Cornelius Gallus, in hieroglyphs,
Latin and Greek.
At Abydos, M. Amelineau has discovered inter alia a large tomb which
proved to be that of the eldest son of Shashanq I., a statue dedicated by
Usertesen I. to his predecessor Sankhkara Mentuhetep of the Xlth
Dynasty, and, most wonderful of all, the tombs of Thinite kings of a
very remote period, apparently that of the first three dynasties. They
are identified by statues and jar sealings inscribed with royal /ca-names.
