bitants were lying outside their doors, in the open air, on
mats, each containing five or six persons. Having taken
leave of the aga, we returned homewards by the water side,
which was lined by rocks of considerable height, sometimes
close to the water side, at others retired, leaving room for
cultivation. I observed, on some of the rocks, tablets of
hieroglyphics well cut, generally having the figure of some
animal on the centre, over the inscription.
