I have been looking at the classical (rock-cut) tombs below at Meidan, and on the hill opposite Kourion. They are huge, and beautifully made, almost in the class of the Amathus tomb. If we were to find an unplundered one it might be magnificent, and even a plundered one should give us first-rate pottery. We have fragments of absolutely first-rate red- and black-figured attic work from the trenches, and the tombs must contain good things. Richter found things of the greatest value there.

Aren't we going to be awfully short of time if we stop work the end of May? I doubt that there is any reason
