(8) Even if the knife came from Gebel et-Târif, as has been said, it would make no difference to the argument, for this place is just opposite el-Amra across the river. Unfortunately there is some confusion as to its place of origin. The most detailed account brings it from el-Amra. Other places besides Gebel et-Târif named are Abydos or its environs (Capart, p. 68, note 1). Abydos is only 8 miles north of el-Amra. Thus, wherever the knife came from, it would have come from the same district as the Gebel el-Araq knife.

(13) Wainwright, loc. cit. The little bottles are dated by the verses which they bear, for they all come from poets who flourished in the 7th, 8th and 9th centuries. Sebakh is the old refuse used today as fertilizer on the fields. It is almost entirely of post-Pharaonic date.
