Abstract

An unregistered rock-cut tomb in Cyrene has been identified as that previously visited by two early explorers to Cyrene. Pacho recorded an inscription, which he published, and the interior was recognised as being that shown in Porcher's Watercolour 98 and the plan Watercolour 94 which he presented, with many others, to the Trustees of the British Museum in 1865.
