This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Why do you assume that? Assuming continuity betwen BOTNS and LS/SS, 
I think we can safely assume that in pre-Autarchial days, the 
necropolis could be a resing place of the highest status. Why else 
would Typhon's daughter have been interred there (in what I guess 
was probably Typhon's family mausoleum)? The tomb might have 
belonged to some very high-ranking, pre-Autarchial figure, however 
related to Sev.
