Among the stones met with were rock-crystals, carnelians, onyxes, agates, and other hard stones of every variety; and further there were paste jewels, cylinders in soft stone, statuettes in burnt clay, earthen vases, and also many objects in bronze, as lamps, tripods, candelabra, chairs, vases, arms, &c.

&c.

A certain amount of order reigned in the repository.

The precious objects in gold were collected together principally in the first chamber.

The second contained the silver vessels, which were arranged along a sort of shelf cut in the rock, at the height of about eight inches above the floor.
