553:, pp. 51–52: In the original French: "L'encadrement du balcon du côté de la cour avait été orné de plaquettes d'émail incrusté dont plusieurs fragments avaient été recueillis pendant le déblaiement, ce qui m'avait fait penser qu'une ornementation semblable pouvait avoir été employée dans l'édifice annexe; ce temple étant de Ramsès III, tout comme l'édifice d'où proviennent les émaux de Tell el-Yahoudieh, il y avait des probabilités pour qu'on ait eu recours au même mode de décoration. Mais le déblaiement de l'intérieur du temple et de son extérieur immédiat étant terminé, les travaux directs du Service des Antiquités furent arrêtés en 1899, et on laissa aux cultivateurs des environs le soin de dégager, par l'enlèvement du sébakh sous la surveillance de nos gardiens, tout le reste de l'aire comprise dans le grand mur d'enceinte. C'est en 1903 que des fellahs mirent au jour dans la partie correspondant à l'édifice annexe, des restes de portes renversées, encore munies en partie de leur décoration primitive en plaques émaillées. Quelques morceaux disparurent mais la majeure partie fut recueillie par les ghafirs et envoyée par M. Howard Carter, alors inspecteur en chef des antiquités de la Haute-Egypte, au Musée du Caire, ainsi que quatre des piliers et un dessus de porte auxquels ils avaient appartenu."

Sous la porte la décoration du pilier, épais de 0 m. 29 cent, rappelait celle de la façade, mais avec suppression de l'image du roi. On avait donc en haut des rainures encadrant la légende de Ramsès III, puis une plaque large de 0 m. 18 cent, avec des oiseaux rekhitou, et dans le bas deux prisonniers sur des plaquettes larges seulement de 0 m. 065 mill."
478:, p. 51b: "In the original French: "Ces plaquettes sont analogues à celles trouvées en 1870 à Tell el-Yahoudieh mais un peu moins grandes, car les premières ont 0 m 105 mill de largeur tandis que celles de Médinet-Habou peuvent se classer en deux séries, les plus grandes ayant 0 m. 30 c. sur 0 m. 07 c. et les autres environ 0 m. 25 cent, sur 0 m. 065 mill. La fabrication de toutes est la même. Sur un fond rectangulaire de 0 m. 01 cent, ou 0 m. 012 mill d'épaisseur s'enlève en relief le personnage, si bien que l'épaisseur totale est 0 m. 018 mill. ou 0 m. 02 cent."
502:, p. 51d: In the original French: "Tous ces étrangers sont debout; tantôt la plante des pieds pose à terre, tantôt la pointe seule touche le sol comme s'ils couraient ou étaient suspendus. Les bras sont liés dans les positions les plus étranges et souvent au cou est passé une corde émaiilée blanc et noir terminée par des glands."
514:, p. 52: In the original French: "Il n'y a malheureusement sur ces plaques aucune inscription nous fixant sur le nom du peuple représenté; on est donc forcé de comparer avec les bas-reliefs des temples ou les peintures des tombeaux pour retrouver le type figuré et l'on est parfois embarrassé pour l'assimilation."

In all the tiles, the prisoners are shown standing up. In some tiles, the soles of the prisoners' feet rest on the ground; in others they may be interpreted as running or hanging. The prisoners' arms are often tied, and in other tiles a white and black rope with acorns at the ends is shown around the

Tiles were found in 1870 at Tell el-Yahoudieh and in 1903 in

Unfortunately, there is no inscription on these tiles fixing the name of the peoples represented; we are forced to compare with the bas-reliefs of the temples or the paintings of the tombs to find a similar type and we are sometimes
