370. See 277. G.^. 44, 117. G. discovers the word "upon" 

 expressed by the head. 



371. See 33. The context proves that this figure {tk) signifies, 

 not only provincia (touj, ypn. thako). but also a w^oven stutl', Ger. 

 Tuch. We find it, moreover, very often among textures and other 

 sacrificial paraphernalia. T. B. 17, 59, 72, 8. According to G.^ 

 this figure, signifying t in Darius, etc., symbolized '' earth'" (G. 

 JE. 84, 407.) 



372. This group, misrepresented by B., expresses by the well 

 known letters kr the word ^^3 (kli), 2cg"\, 2^0^^, cr'X, vestis. Nev- 

 ertheless G. translates "in"; and the following three hieroglyphs 

 he took for " favor," or he omitted to mark by the impos- 

 sibility of understanding them. 



373. representing a chain, oitc, a. hitc, G. Kette {G.M. 108, 

 568), the Hebrew 7\'lV'i (katah), cat-ena ; accordingly signifying- 

 ^oiTe, vestis. G. probably transferred it to his "favor." 



874. The notorious chalice ivuoT, a^^jot, a. ^e^noT, by which 

 the Egyptians expressed the words ^otjt, Haupt, primus (I. R. 

 xi. 653) ; ixoT§^, sculpere (I. R. iv, 24) ; oonr, creare (see No. 

 381), and here ef^oTTT, TiDX (epod). G. yE. 96, 498. 



375, eenni, linteus. G. ^. 102, 537; see Nos. 5, 84, 172,. 

 210, 244. The sign of plurality belongs to all the preceding 

 substantives. 



376, n, b'N (el), s-puni, for the almighty God. G. translates- 

 " Chnum," but no such god has ever existed. 



377-78: the lord of the hosts. See Nos. 301,59. G. trans- 

 lates : " the king of both lands." 



379 gives the word ^y (gal), praeterea, owing to the name of 

 the skull Rc^pev. G. brings out " while," because he imagined the 

 cranium to signify, /i/\ in. 



380. The values of these hieroglyphs being known (G. yE. 73, 

 328, 96, 49S), the group expresses cToth, superare, vincere. G. 

 fancied the first two letters to signify "ye say"; but "ye" is unau- 

 thorizedly inserted by G. 



381 furnishes ottot, potentia, because the pullet expressed hpy 

 and not, as Ch. imagined, c. G. ^E^. 71 , 312. G., without caring 

 for the pronunciation of the hieioglyphs, translates " may." 



382, the notorious Ro^po (G. ^E. 68, 301 , ^) furnishes the name 

 Cabiri, the planetary gods. For the seven Cabiri of the ancient
