A large number of minor objects, inciuding terracotta
figurines, coins, oil lamps and a frgmantary nude male statue of
marble were discovered. An important find is a 2 nd century B.C.
inscription mentioning Thenon son of Thenon, a gymnasiarch of
Hermopolis, as yet unrecorded.
Archaeological investigations supported the results of
architectural research on the basilica remains, enabling us to
prepare an inventory of the structures as well as a conservation
plan. We were also able to gather more information on earlier
strata found on the site. The Basilica restoration programme is
planned for a period of six years at least.
