Passage---
Of the nine symbols, Champollion already knew numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8. When he lined up all the numbers and put the corresponding letters beneath them, he got the following arrangement:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

A L _S E _T R _

Immediately Champollion thought of the one Greek leader whose name might be identified with this particular combination of letters. It was Alexander the Great, spelled "Alexandros" in Greek, and apparently represented as "Alksentrs" in hieroglyphs.
