Excerpt from The Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies: Report on Prospects of Research in Alexandria

There is no ancient site on the Mediterranean, the prospect of whose exploration seems to stimulate more recurrent curiosity than Alexandria; there is hardly one that has been less systematically explored. The perusal of Neroutzos' "L'ancienne Alexandrie" is sufficient to inform the reader how little research had been prosecuted up to 1885. No one except Mahmud Bey, court astronomer of the Khedive Ismail, commissioned to make a map for the history of Julius Caesar, by Napoleon III., had worked with any wider purpose than to find buried treasure. Schliemann had nibbled at the fringe of the site in May and June, 1887, and quickly abandoned his borings, discouraged by early ill-success and the disfavour shown to him by the natives. Since 1885, successive Directors of the Service of Antiquities have made tentative explorations, mainly about the Attarin quarter, but no one has persevered long, or, so far as I know, published any detailed account of what he did or found.

It was left, therefore, to Sig. G. Botti, on his appointment in 1891 as Director of the Graeco-Roman Museum, newly-established in the town, to undertake anything like a systematic search for the remains of the great city which occupied the site, and more than the site, of modern Alexandria. Having the advantage of permanent residence, he was able to project a scheme for sinking test shafts in all the Hots into which the ancient city was divided by its rectangular streets, as laid down by Mahmud Bey.
