French researchers recount Delos digs under the French Archaeological Board revealing a stadium track and magistrates seats, a large theater cistern, a three story building linked to Dionysian rites, and temples to Aphrodite and Serapis.

A garbled OCR fragment lists products and quotes including a claim about Bromo, laxa vitamins, and Quinine with references to H W Grove.
