p. 7) certifies that the 36 Decani belonged to the deities (non 

 alios ponunt deos — piaster vulgo dictos planetas et Zodiaci signa — 

 et sectiones Decanorum). Even the Hindoos and Parsees 

 acknowledged the 36 Decani, and represented them by a figure 

 with 36 heads. Vide J. Scaliger in Manil. p. 336. Besides, the 

 name of the Decani <^m.i, gubernatores, fits their astrological 

 power. G. brings out "who are," but, unfortunately, the three 

 boundary-stones never signify "who are," but plurality. 



385-87. See Nos. 270, 238. G. again makes out " Suten- 

 senen." 



388. See 374. G. again produces the word " favor," and 

 probably takes the following figure for a symbolic determinative 

 ■" indicating to what class of things favor belongs." 



389. Although several monoliths of this shape are to be found 

 in European museums, and even in that of the Historic. Soc. of 

 N. Y., their hieroglyphic pictures occur very seldom on Egyptian 

 monuments. The figure, as it seems to me, indicates the act of 

 waiting or reposing (mokc) or veiling (evMoni), but further re- 

 searches are to be looked for. 



390. xupio::, king. See 303. G., taking the following snake 

 for q, happens to bring to light the new notion, " his reverence." 



391 as well No. 395 signify the word ooifi (creare) by the 

 name of the serpent 006, o^^C- 



392. See PI. i. 1. G. improvisates " devoted," instead of the 

 web. Is not that marvellous? 



393 represents a mat or pouch, likewise crates, x^P'^' by 

 which /J-r and k were expressed (R. S. xiv., vii. 32, viii. 24), e.g. 

 in ^3 (kol), 2£.ajA, rpar/.OQ. G. yE. 106, 556. Hence the T. S. 

 replaces the mat in the same word by the figure of an acre, ager, 

 Acker, cpe, n^x (akar). See PI. xxxii. 455. The subjoined hill 

 again indicates syllabic pronunciation. See PI. xxxi.435. Hence 

 we have to translate : (the creator of the web) of the universe. 

 G , imagining the snake to signiy q, his, brings out ("devoted") 

 " to his district." 



394. See 391. 



395. See 391. 396. See 36. 



397. See 37. G., on the contrary, creates the country "Sam- 

 tati-Tap-Necht," a land formerly totally unknown, but discovered 

 in 1875 by Ch's Exploration Company.
