About this book
The book is titled Manual of Oriental Antiquities. The text says that, as preserved by Berosus, the fish-god Oannes taught men in the beginning all that serves to soften life. The text says the extensive and methodical excavations undertaken from 1877 to 1881 by M. E. de Sarzec at Tello (Tell Loh) have enriched the Louvre with a collection of monuments unique in the museums of Europe.
The text describes a monster as having, among other parts, the body and fore paws of a lion, the hind legs of an eagle and the ears of an ox. The index has entries for, among others, Deir Ghuzaleh, Demons and Didyma.
