¹ To the best of my knowledge the presence of Greek pottery on this site was first reported by Mr Frank Jowett in 1947 ; and Mr 'I'. Burton-Brown, then Antiquities Officer in Cyrenaica, immediately recognised the importance of the site and took steps to prevent further encroachments. The air photograph came to my notice only in 1950.

² Mr John Eames and Mr David Smith were both active in examining the site, at my suggestion, during these expeditions.

³ Mr C. N. Johns has informed me that pottery of rather later date has come from the Moslem cemetery area during recent levelling.

⁵ Ghislanzoni, E., Notizie Archeologiche della Cirenaica (Rome, 1915 Google Scholar), contains a good account of discoveries made in the first years of the Italian occupation. Later discoveries are largely unpublished.

⁶ The important 4th century B.C. inscription, referring to Euesperides by name, recently published by MrFraser, P. (Bulletin de la Société Royale d'Archéologie d'Alexandrie, 1951, pp. 132–43Google Scholar), is of uncertain provenance, but may have come from the site under discussion.
