Pedestal V (right wall): Tombstone of young man with a foot-stool and pet dog.
Centre of room: Fine marble group, mutilated, of Dionysus and the Faun. Found near the demolished Porte Rosette.
ROOM 21. Ibrahimieh Necropolis. (p. [164]).
Case in entrance: Wreaths of artificial flowers. Ugly really, but one is impressed by their being so old. Double flute of ivory.
Case in centre: Mummied birds from Aboukir (p. [180]).
Cases D and F: From Ibrahimieh. Case D. Inscription in Aramaic—one of the few relics of the early Jewish settlement at Alexandria (p. [62]); some more are on the floor. Date 3rd cent. B.C. Case F (right wall) Cinerary urns. Groups in painted piaster of the phallic Min (whom the Greeks identified with Pan), Hercules, Horus, etc.
ROOM 22. Canopus. (p. [180]).
Disappointing; better work than this tenth rate Hellenistic stuff must have existed at the great shrine.
Left wall: 1-3:. Inscriptions of historical interest: they mention Serapis and Isis, the deities of the place, and the Ptolemies Philadelphus and Euergetes.
Back wall: in cases, sculptures and terra cottas.
