60PREFACE.
‘un drawings for this record of the tomb-chapel of Peptonkh the Middle, son of
Sebkhotpe and Pekhernefert, were made during the months of January to April 1921, but most of
the photographs were taken in the Spring of 1913, shortly after the tomb-chapel had been
‘earthed by Sexo Bar KnAsmazem. ‘The whole of this last time that I was at Meir I shared
my eamp with my sister, Miss W. 8. Brackway, who, as Oxford University Research Student,
‘vas carrying on what have proved to be most valuable anthropological investigations among
the Fellakin. Lhad also residing with me five of my pupils, lads of from fifteen to eighteen
yours of age, whom I was prepaving for the University, together with their tntor,
Me, Eowanp Laverna of St. John’s College, Oxford. ‘The last-named, since he has become
editor of Discovery, has devoted a great deal of space in that admirable periodical to articles
on archaeological and anthropological research-work in Egypt.
‘That T was able to record this large tomb in the space of time at my disposal, I owe
alinost entirely to my sister, who, on the top of her own arduous work, undertook entire
esponsibility for the domestic well-being of this by no means small establishment, keeping
fhe accounts, managing the servants, and most efficiently controlling the commissarint, —
‘not a light task in a desert-camp several miles away from the nesrest village!
Tpastioularly wish to tender my thanks to my old pupil, Mx. D. J. V. Fonsmen, now of
Pembroke College, Oxford, who devoted a great desl of his time to assisting me in all
of ways. His are the photographs 2 3, and 4, on Pl. XXIIL, and he is also
ble for a Iarge part of the drawings reproduced on Pls, XVILL—XX. To another old
Yr, Grorruy Cuanmens, now of Woreester College, I am indebted for all the plans
find sections on Pls. Land IL, to Mr. J. Martiy-Hanver of Christ Church for the sketches
reproduced on Pl. XXVI, to Mr. Ronan Futusn of Merton College for undertaking the
general index on pp. 5760, and to Mr. Grurrrrmm and Mr. Barrrscomms GUNN for several valuable
suggestions. Tasily L must express my sincere thanks to Professor Sermp of Gottingen University:
for the asistance he has given me, not only in the elucidation of the two biographical
inseriptions (ceo pp. 28 foll.), but also in the rendering of many of the little explanatory
inscriptions aitachod to the various figures, or groups of figures, in the senlptured and painted
scones, The extent of this assistance is, I hope, made fully clear in the following pages.
T shonld add that by a most regretable oversight I omitted to record in the preface to
‘Meir, ii, my grateful thanks to Mrs. QuiBeLt for so kindly making for me, while on a visit
in my camp in the Spring of 1918, the coloured facsimile of the interesting piece of wall-
Aecoration in tomb-chapel B, No. 4, reproduced on Pl. XXVIIL of that woi
Oxford, December 4th, 1923.
