"In April 1925, the excavations of the Department of Antiquities at the Step Pyramid brought to light the object reproduced by a photograph in the plate, and by a tracing in figure. It is a limestone flake, apparently complete, 15 x 17.5 x 5 cm., inscribed on one face in red ink. The surface is rough, and the writer's pen has jumped over many small depressions, giving the lines and signs a broken appearance. In some places, also, small portions of the surface seem to have scaled away. There appears to be nothing in the paleographical features of the inscription, or in the contents of the latter, to conflict with the dating which is most probable on general grounds, namely to the period of Zoser (2650 BC)."
