working for us while still on the pay roll of the British Government, we should share the finds, receiving at least half, and publication rights. I made the suggestion to the University that we should let the Antiquities Department have the last word in the choice of a site as they were hard up, and would have great interest in choosing that site which might prove most rewarding. here would be a trial dig lasting about a week, costs for this being estimated at £50, and otherwise, not promising, we should go ahead, and it is estimated might run proper dig which might follow it is estimated exclusive of publication expenses. In my letter to the Museum I wrote to a maximum of £500, of course, that you thought well of our patronizing the Antiquities in asking Dikaios to dig a site for us and I hope you will not mind my having quoted you.
