ing consonants, and since the leg cAwt (ren, vkippo^^ testiculi) 

 contains the same consonants, no doubt the two testiculi were 

 intended to be portrayed, particularly the scrotum preceding. It 

 would be less probable that the kidneys were referred to. 



266-7. These well-known letters give : n *£t-r, on thy belly. 

 G. translates 2cot, dicere, by " preceptum." 



268 properly represents a weaver's reed, pecten (a comb), Kc^n 

 (PI. xxxii. 444, /j), i.e. the bones of the feet and hands resembling 

 a comb. G. guessed this pecten, followed by the determinative 

 feet, to mean "I reached." But, alas, of the word "I" no jot 

 is visible. 



269. See 141. 270-72. 866238,271. 



273. See 262, 258. 



274 represents the traces for attaching horses, in^ (ither), and 

 the feet, which contain the words T<;op--\-, I planted. For the 

 traces express very often /r, e.g. in iinDS (kaphthor). T. S. 1. ix. 

 The appended feet furnish the notorious "V and Tl (thi), which, 

 being appended to verbs, form the first person I, both in the Cop- 

 tic and Hebrew languages. Accordingly we have to translate : 

 I fixed, or planted. G., on the contrary, not knowing the name 

 nor the syllabic value of the traces, spells out " not" (instead of 

 further) "was hurt" (instead of, I planted), probably on account 

 of the singularity of his Coptic Dictionary. 



275 is not a figurative symbol of the hairs, but the phonetic 

 word ip (q^f)) the Latin capillus ; wherefore it expresses ^^^ very 

 often, e.g. on the T. S. xxvi. & xxix. : 3N3 (keab), the corrupted 

 ^Hfie, lamentatio, 7isvdo(;. 



276, the notorious cranium, ud.pe<, from the root ^} (gal), 1J (gar), 

 never expresses //, as the Chts. imagine. Hence G. translates the 

 passage "of" ; together, "not was hurt a hair of my head." But, 

 unfortunately, 



277 is not "my head," but the verb R6.fi-i, I wisely excogitated. 

 For the head is the Hebrew fjip (qop), the corrupted »^nc, a. Rivne, 

 G. Kop ; and it stands for ^p (PI. xxxii.- 445, 6, and frequently 

 expresses k_p, e.g. x^"' 3n. R- S. i. 8. See T. B. 40, 4, 5 ; 44, 

 4. 5;^44. 3; 7I' 13; 80, 2. 



278. The lion's claw, called 2c:c>.mii, expresses ^m in many in- 

 stances. See G. JE. 61, 249 ; particularly St. L. Tr. i. 534 & 544.
