English, translated from the French record

Scarab of red stone veined with white (perhaps porphyry), pierced lengthwise through its full length by a channel for attachment. The veins and striations running across the engraved face make it difficult to read. L. 2.4, l. 1.8 (cm). Salamis, Cyprus; Inventory Po_0321; 2 October 1968.
