SEYFFARTH THE HIEROGLYPHIC TABLET OF POMPEIUM. 347 



384, 335, H fifoR — ni- of the subjects, servants. B. has shame- 

 fully changed the plural into the dual, and G. brings out " of the 

 lands," of which no trace is to be seen. 



336, ^&.j«. (TpHni, the man of the sceptre. See 413. G., not 

 knowing the Egyptian syntax, collocates the genitive before the 

 nominative. 



337. See 38. G. yE. 6$, 375. G. translates "(causing) his 

 son," the name of the gander Ren, and its signification rhr (geni- 

 tor), being forgotten. G. yE. 6^, 275, 6. 



338. See 164. The darling of the Creator is Vespasian. G. 

 correctly translates " beloved," without being able to spell the 

 group. 



339, 340. See 301. G. brings out "the king of both lands," 

 and not the lord of the host. 



341. The curved neck of this bird shows that it diflers from 

 the gander Ren and the goose cwoc. The latter, moreover, signi- 

 fies ss, e.g. in oio (sus"), Pegasus, and not a, which is the case 

 with the bird under consideration ; for in numberless places we 

 find the arm in lieu of this bird. T. B. i, 14, 15, 23, 17, 49, efc. 

 It is probable that this kind of goose refers to eAacLto-© (anser mi- 

 nor, anas), mentioned in Kircher's Scala Magna and by Tattam, 

 but omitted by Peyron. This eA-scco-©^ consists of oe'A. (volare, 

 avis) and ac^co-©, properly ^ksto)-©^, as this name is alphabetically 

 expressed in the aforesaid places of the T. B. Accordingly the 

 letters a52£l<» give mpX (eqdah), i.e. dxrn;, glory, as the renowned 

 hymn of Pindar demonstrates. 



342, spelled ^5 (333)1 involves the word K&t^, ultio, vindicta. 

 G. translates Nos. 341 and 343 by "he comes," probably because 

 he took the duck for b. 



343 is the Hebrew ^y (gal), ad supra, and not e o^pAi, as the 

 Chs. imagined. 



344, the notorious letters //, giving niTe, arcus, and not " the 

 heavens." 



345 represents the heavenly arch, from which the words nxs 

 (peah), coeli plaga, c^e, coelun:, and the names of ni, 77?, Pe, and 

 their PhcEnician, Greek, and Latin forms originated. See PI. 

 xxxii. 455. G. imagined it to signify, ideologically, "heaven." 



346. The well-known letters ^d, kf^ furnish the word scojcoEe, 

 transcendere, superare, and not " therein," as G. fancied.
