GLEANINGS FROM THE LAND OF EGYPT
I. Immediately to the south of Qasr Ibrîm is an isolated hill, similar to that on
which Qasr Ibrîm itself stands, and separated from the latter by a Wadi in whieh are
the remains of Coptic pottery-kilns, as well as an extensive Mohammedan cemetery.
On the western face of the hill, overhanging the Nile, I discovered a large stèle of
Seti I. Above the inscription is a représentation of the Pharaon in the act of slaying
an enemy; behind him is a chariot drawn by two horses which are galloping away
from the scène of combat, while to the left is a standing human figure. The upper part
of ail the figures is now destroyecl. On the left hand side of the last seven lines of the
hierogiyphic text, are three vertical lines of inscription recording the name of Amen-
m-apt, the royal son of Kush, to the left of which again is the figure of a man kneeling
on one knee and holding the " fan " in his hand.
Owing to the height at which the stèle is erected and its inaccessible position it is
exceedingly difficult to copy. In order to do so I was obliged to use a télescope, and as
the ledge of rock on which I stoocl was immediately below the stèle, while the text
itself is injured in several places, it is probable that my copy will need correction.
