^{page 98 note 1} The excavator was much indebted to Mr. F. Houry and Mr. Branco of Famagusta, for the gift of sacks for revetting, and also to the Harbour Department for the loan of rope and tackle to clear the cistern. The Forest Department were at all times most helpful, and supplied timber and lights.

^{page 100 note 1} Near the top were two 1st cent. A.D. lamps of the handleless type, with volutes and rounded spouts; one bore the common figure of a lion, the other four leaves radiating from the centre.

Almost on top of the second cistern part of a large black dish with ivy-leaf design in white was recovered, and may be as early as 2nd cent. B.C. The rest of the pottery was of common types which might range anywhere between those dates.

^{page 102 note 1} This bearded type is said by Dalton to have originated in Palestine and Syria (Byz. Art and Arch., p. 671). The ‘Pantokrator’ is usually assumed to belong to the 7th–8th cent., or even as late as the 11th cent., but in this case seems to bear a greater resemblance to the head on the Constantine Bowl (ibid., fig. 385) of early 4th cent. The panel with its aquatic scene is also of a type belonging to N. Syria (p. 276).

^{page 102 note 2} The incrustations proved to be a kind of excrescence of the gypsum with a little calcium carbonate. Efforts were made to remove this from a small part of the inscriptions with dilute hydrochloric acid, but it hardly moved the incrustation, and too easily destroyed the paint.

^{page 105 note 1} Several of these stones bear mason's marks similar to those found by the expedition of 1890 for the Cyprus Exploration Fund (J.H.S. xii, 113).
