of 30 to 40 pages, I could envisage printing in France. But now that his report will fill up to 200 pages, I fear the composition of the text in France would be very costly. We would first have to compare the prices here with those of a printer in England.
In this way, Dikaios' would have his report printed as a single volume. Time would be gained for him for working it over again. I guess from your letter just received, dated 20th june, you would perhaps like to include the result of the excavations in the Vth and lower layers so important for the dating of the ashlar compound. I agree with this idea, of course under condition that the clearing and opening of floor V and the digging in the lower levels of Dikaios'area, be undertaken in my presence, this year.
I expect your reply on this general plan of the publication soon. It is necessary for the first two volumes of the French contribution, to use for the printing and preparing of the blocks, the summersseason when the printer is less busy and cheaper.
The details of volume III with Dikaios' contribution could be discussed later, as soon as he decides his answer to my criticism of his stratigraphical and chronological conclusions. It could even be done verbally when we meet in september.
Yours sincerely,
