PYRAMID OF ARIvENKHEREL on its north side. A bird's-eye view of this pyramid is given by Cailliaud ( Voyage, torn, i., plate 47, fig. 2). From the relief which Cailliaud and Lepsius found on the portion of the south wall that was standing when each of these travellers visited the site, we learn that the pyramid was built for a prince called Amen-. . . akha . . . en-ab.' He is seen seated under a canopy on a throne, the body of which is in the form of a lion. His ornaments are simple, and he holds a long staff in his right hand, and a whip £\, in his left ; on his head is a tightly fitting cap, with a uraeus in front, and his feet, in sandals, rest on a footstool. Beneath his throne stands his favourite dog, and behind it, on a pedestal, stands Isis. In the foreground we see Isis pouring out a libation, a god or ministrant loading a table with cakes of bread, ducks, &c., Anubis making ready boxes of unguents (?), a priest bringing a censer containing burning incense, &c.

Pyramid of Arkenkherel No. 5 (Cailliaud E, Hoskins S, Lepsius No. t6). This pyramid is well built, and good stones have been used in its construction ; its casing contains eighteen layers of stone, and rests on a base made of two layers of stones. The length of a side at the base is about 32 feet. The chapel is massively built, and is 11 feet long, 5 feet 4 inches wide, and 5 feet 8 inches high, A portion of its roof appears to have been removed deliberately, with the view of letting in light upon the interesting reliefs which are sculptured on the walls. Through the opening thus made stones and rubble poured in, and when I first saw the chapel in 1899, it was filled up to the roof, and entrance through the doorway was impossible.

In 1903 we cleared out the chapel down to the floor, and again in February, 1905. It must also have been cleared out by Lepsius's party, for he published excellent drawings of the reliefs in his Denkindler (Abth. V. Bll. 43-45). The north side of this pyramid is buried under the ruins of No. 6.

Inside the chapel, over the door, is the boat of the sun, in low relief. In the centre of the boat are the horizons of the morning and evening, with the hawk of Horus in each. In the bows
