PREFATORY NOTE

This book was originally planned as the joint work ofmy colleague, Dr Frank Gavin, and myself. Otherduties compelled him to withdraw from the undertaking,but it none the less owes more than can be toldto his expert knowledge and lavishly given advice.

Appreciative thanks are also due to Dr E. R. Hardyfor his generous help in checking the translation fromthe Sahidic.
