Found in 1852 in Alexandria, "at the base of Cleopatra's Needle" (Scott Gatty et al. 1900, p 32) and possibly this is the sundial described in Arvanitakis (1903) as the dial "found near Cleopatra's Needle in 1872 by M. Dixon" which closely resembles SC NMWarsaw 198850. 

"The gnomon hole has a semicircular vertical section 50 mm wide and 51 mm deep" (Gibbs 1976)

"Eleven hour lines extend from winter to summer solstice. The three day curves have been engraved always equidistant from each other and from the lower edge of the conical surface. Dots are visible at the junctions of hour lines and winter solstice. Six shallow steps decorate the base." (Gibbs 1976)

"Greek letters have been engraved in the spaces below the equinox close to the right hour line : 

Γ Δ Ε S Ζ Η Ι

This dial is a unique example of a conical dial with hours marked in Greek letters. " (Gibbs 1976)
