During his earlier years spent in Egypt (1896–97, 1900), he translated numerous Greek papyri and participated at the excavatory site at Ghorân. In 1901–02 at Fayoum, he discovered a small Hellenistic necropolis. In 1904, at Lille, he founded the Institut de Papyrologie.[7] He was also founder of the Société royale égyptienne de Papyrologie and co-founder of the Société française d’Égyptologie and the Institut international de Recherches hellénistiques.
