Four mausoleums have now been completely excavated and the fifth, which has been partially opened, contains a flight of steps leading to the entrance, a large open court- yart, a small cell enclosing the sur- cophagus, several subsidiary chain- bers and altars, wells, and fountains. In each case the sarcophagus Is carved from the rock, and is a re- presentation of the actual death bed, on which was the custom to ex- hibit the body before burlal,

Only one Inscription has been found by the excavators.

Engraved on a doorway, it consists of a list of persons, probably refer- ring either to those buried there or visitors to the, tomb.

A stronger link with the past was established when the excavators found, on two of the altars, the re- mains of the last sacrifices offered up on behalf of the inmates of the mausoleum.

For 23 centuries the few ashes-and remains of calcinated bones had lain there, untouched, exactly as they had been left by the relatives and Triends of the dead.-Reuter.
