The work of the Palestine Exploration Fund is bringing to light many
small relics of Egyptian occupation and trade. In the excellent memoir
on Excavations in Palestine, 1898-1900, by Bliss and Macalister, many
scarabs are figured from Tell Zakariyeh and Tell es Safi, in the Shepheleh,
on pi. 56 and 83—see also the references in the index of the volume to
"objects from Egypt." In the Quarterly Statement are figured and
described from Mr. Macalister's excavations at Gezer scarabs and weights

of Nepherites I., ib. 1903, 9, fragment of stela of Middle Kingdom (or early
XVIIIth Dynasty at latest), ib. 37, 125, scarabs ib., 122, 211.
Scheil publishes two new El Amarna letters, which Chassinat has been
so fortunate as to secure. One is from Assur-uballit, King of Assyria,
sent with a present to Pharaoh, the other from a Syrian governor.

Euting publishes an Aramaic papyrus at Strassburg, recently purchased
in Luxor. It bears a date of the 14th year of Darius. Prof. Euting in-
terprets it as a report to a satrap referring to an insurrectionary movement,
and concludes that the king must necessarily be Darius II. Nothus, b.c.
