138, the well-known goblet, ivnoT, a. ^cvnoT, syllabically ex- 

 presses dw-THT, a. iK&HT, nu (beth). See PI. xxxi. 433, a. G. 

 translates Nos. 136-38 by " many and many times," of which no 

 trace is to be found in the context. 



139, like 130, is the Coptic nocr, magnus, sublimis. G. takes 

 it again for "thou." The noble building of Vespasian is, no doubt, 

 the immense Colosseum. 



110 refers to the root jw-to, conspectus; accordingly, also, con- 

 spicere. G. translates "thou didst give me," and he alone knows 

 in what Coptic dictionary the letters «w/ signify "didst give me." 



141. the conspicuous feet tootc (walking), syllabically express 

 Td.dwTe, splendor, pride. The Chs. take the same feet for i = ire 

 ^symbolically), and hence G. brings out "entrance," which is the 

 same in his eyes. But, alas, the same feet express U in Athothis. 

 See PI. xxxi. 433, d ; G.^-E. 56, No. 208, d. Moreover our feet 

 are a substantive because of the following u, the sign of the 

 genitive. 



142. consisting of the figures of the reed crdfj:, a. xdpc, and the 

 yard, ^hhi, Germ. Hof, indicates the emperor's palace. A similar 

 expression, <^m, ns^O (meleketh), the queen's palace, will be 

 found on the Flaminian Obelisk in Rome. 



143. Since the heart was called ^Hpx, a, KHpT, like xapoca, 

 corda, our heart (No. 92), it expresses here residence, court — a 

 word preserved in the Saxon, Armenian, Spanish, Portuguese, 

 Irish, and Italian languages, apparently originated from the Ro- 

 man curtia^ corrupted curia. See G. yE. 49, 149, c. Poor G. 

 together with Ch. imagined the heart to signify ideologically 

 " heart." 



144. See Nos, 15, 24, 57. 



145. See 133. G.M. 95, 493. 



146 represents an open chamber ,"122 (kuba), Sp. alcova, our 

 alcove, R-yiiK, camera, and hence it expresses syllabically i/, kb^ 

 e.g. in S!t<o(ofic, extollere, high-minded. G. interprets the sign by 

 " was pleased," but nobody can tell from what hieroglyphs this 

 nonsense was derived. Probably the author cheated his readers 

 by again clandestinely suppressing some glyphs. 



147, Sevpo, in, because the open mouth (Nip. *evpd-) signified kr. 

 See PL ii. i. Probably this mouth with the following heart was 

 taken by G. for "in the heart." 



148. See 143.
