[66]Belzoni, as remarked on p. 8. mistook this revetment-wall for that of a temple of Jupiter Ammon, and the builder’s stone-marks for the remains of a Greek inscription.

[69]The Survey observations give 28° 2′ 11″ N. as the latitude of Ain el Haiss, thus placing it about 3 kilometres further north. Jordan’s value, 28° 1′ 55″ substantially confirms this; the small difference is doubtless due to different points of observation being used.
