servus, but its notion " king" is lost in the Coptic, yet preserved 

 in the Hebrew nriD (pechah), praefectus. Further, since many 

 animals get different names (G. y^. p. 9, 16), we notice the ram 

 to signify not only «>j'A., [j^s (el)? but also fiwR, although this word 

 is wanting in the Coptic. Comp. fitou, praeire. It is certain, how- 

 ever, that the ram or sheep expressed the letter dk, pk (G. J^. 

 p. 59, 231, (5), e.g. in the name of the Decanus Abik-an, and other 

 words. See T. B. 9, 2, and its different copies ; PI. xxxii 449, b. 

 The respective name ficoR, besides, is the Germ. Bock, Schaf-bock,. 

 our buck, Sp. boque, It. becco, Armen. bouch, Ethiop. bahak^ 

 etc. In short, its present figure signifies Josephus's fiwR, prin- 

 ceps. G., on the contrary, recommends the signification "spirit,"' 

 probably according to Ch's ideologic dictionary in his hands. 



308, commonly in erect position, represents a flower — campa- 

 nula, ;x!&.pjK.-ioii, Germ. Glocke, our chalice, clock, bell-flower, 

 /d/U/f-C, p-ir-?0 (migraq), crater, which frequently expresses Ever- 

 geta, beneficence, luck, and the like. Accordingly this campanula 

 must express the letters klk^ and, indeed, the Tanis-stone and a 

 great many demotic papyri, mentioning Evergeta, express him 

 by the letters klk. See PI. xxxii. 450, b. The first demotic let- 

 ter, is the abbreviated image of the scorpion ctAh, accompanied 

 by the diacritical signs, hill and boundary-stone, indicating the 

 syllabic pronunciation of (tAh (G. J^. p. ii, 22 ; PI. xxxi.435,a). 

 The letters kl together with the following k forms the word klk^ 

 Germ. Glueck, the corrupted luck, the Coptic ^<V.02sl, a. s'A-ost,. 

 •fLU/Jj — properly, to make sweet, happy, to benefit. G., without 

 being able to spell the figure, brought out by mere guessing its 

 signification to be "beneficent (spirit)." 



309. The owl jyv.o-!r'\e.2c containing the letters mlk^ it expresses 

 not only melek^ king, but also j«.OTr*A.K, propago. G. took it for 

 A, of, TOl). 



310-12. See 23S, 239, 240. 



313. The figure of a harrow, i\JAii, (ligo), expressess some- 

 times a, sometimes w, in the name of the Decanus 'I (wut and 

 other words (T. B. 30, 4, 6S, 3, etc.) See PI. xxxii. 451, <^. 

 Comp. G. M. 9. 17. Accordingly the group is to be spelled 

 tam^ and to be referred to nm (dama), image, related with tcomi, 

 conveniens. G. obtained the proper name "Tum," a new Egyp- 

 tian deity.
