The mystery concerning the disc with the incription "AU LEVANT THE THEBES
SURGIT A PARIS LE NORD" on the 12-hour line of the sundial with the obelisk as
gnomon, at the Place de la Concorde in Paris becomes more intricate.

Denis Savoie, President of the Commission of Sundials in the Astronomic
Society of France and designer of the sundial reports that this inscription
was not included in the design. He doesn't kwow why and by whom the
inscription is placed.
