While it is quite certain that most of the dates and events 

 which we have found correct, and those for which modifications 

 have been suggested to meet the requirements of accuracy, de- 

 serve a place on the tablet, it should, nevertheless, be understood 

 that among the many inscriptions that might be suggested our 

 attention has been limited to the seventeen dates and events that 

 have been placed thereon. 



Respectfully submitted,
