The Trustees of the British Museum recently acquired two inscribed tablets, one of limestone (116662) and the other of copper (116663) which proved to be from the same foundation-deposit, and to be engraved with identical texts. The stone tablet (5
in. × 2⅞ in. × 
in.) is almost perfectly preserved, except for slight damage on the obverse, but the same side of the copper tablet (4¾ in. × 3
in. × ¼ in.) is rather more seriously injured by oxidization of the surface. By far the greater part of the inscription, however, can be read without difficulty in both examples, and the two together make up a complete text. For permission to publish this and the following dedications I am indebted to the Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities.
