Annotations:
Three monuments of green basalt. There seems to be some discrepancy here. If these three monuments found in tomb near Sakkara refer to Psametik the scribe of Nectanebus they are of the 30th Dynasty B.C. 378. If they refer to King Psamitick they belong to the 26 Dynasty B.C. 666.
It seems to me that the lower line records the name of Psametichus I.
