Chief-Inspector,
   Dept. of Antiquities,
      Jerusalem.

Subject:- Nablus

     On monday the last (30.4.34), information
by telephone were received by me from
District Officer, Nablus to the effect that [while]
Raji Abd el-Majid Sihan of Nablus was preparing
foundations for his house a tomb containing some
antiquities was discovered.

     The place was visited by me on
3rd instant. It is situated on the lower slopes
of Mt. Ebal and about 150 metres N. of the present
District Offices. On the building site of the above
person and during the building operation workmen
came across an opening in the rock. This opening
which faced south was a proper entrance into a
rock-cut chamber. I crept in and found that
it is nearly chocked up with earth which, as it
seems, must had been falling into it from an
opening in the roof. On the left when entering the
chamber a stone sarcophagus with turned over
lid shaped in donkey-back were lying nearly buried
in the rubbish.
