ABSTRACT
Birth-House of Nectanebo I (o). When Nectanebo I built this birth-house the temple of Hathor was of much smaller dimensions than at the present day; and the birth-house lay outside the outer court. But when the Ptolemies decided to rebuild the temple on a grander scale, the new outer court with its encircling wall cut across the birth-house; all that interfered with the new building was pulled down, the sanctuary of the birth-house was preserved only because it happened to lie outside the wall.
