In 1877-1878, Henry Williamson Haynes (1831-1912), a Harvard graduate and a university professor of Ancient Greek and Latin, traveled to Egypt and purchased several ostraca on the island of Elephantine in the southernmost part of Egypt. Brought back to the United States by Haynes, they travelled from the Nile to the Charles and finally to the Fogg Museum at Harvard after his death, and ultimately to the Houghton Library.
