Transcription
when my control ceased, the Cairo Museum officials, who took charge,
left this unique relic in the open air, exposed to wind and sun, for
the whole summer and most of the following winter, with the result
that it almost entirely perished, and consequently our efforts to
preserve it were rendered of no avail.
