of the Letters of the Hieroglyphic Alphabet. 173 
3. MIND, mirkéveth, a chariot, Gen. xli. 43, fig. 12, Pl. 60, 1. 5, MaRu- 
KabuTa. 
4. 0», yam, the sea, Josh. xv. 5, et passim, fig. 14, Pl. 56, 1.1. TuMa. 
5. Sama, mighdal, a tower, Judg. viii. 9, and Mighdol, a town on the fron- 
tiers of Egypt, which grew up about the very castle spoken of in the papyrus as 
built by Seti IL, Jer. xliv. 1 [MaydoA-ov, Herod II. 159], fig. 98, Pl. 114, 
1,2. MaKTaRu. 
6. m1, B’rékhoth, springs, or tanks; in sing. 2 Sam. ii. 13 [%,, birket], 
fig. 102, Pl. 125, 1. 16, bPRuKabuTa. 
The three following occur as elements in the names of Syrian towns: 
7. M2, béth, a house, Judg. vil. 24, et passim [x bt; in Josephus and 
Byra]; fig. 99, Pl. 56, 1.8; and without the pair of leaves, 1. 5, bP1Ta, or 
bPeTa. In Burton’s Exc. Hier., 16 K, from Karnak, et. Rameses II., a bird, 
which Chevalier Bunsen calls a night-raven, is substituted for the flying crane in 
early Christian writers in comp. Bac@, BynO, and Bed; Bato-yaBpa, Ptol. ; 
this word, being preceded by the leg. Elsewhere, this bird alone is used to 
express the initial sound in this word, and I think I have seen it so within the 
age of the papyri, though I cannot now refer to the place. Compare IV. 8 
(fig. 114), where it so occurs in another word. This bird is sometimes replaced 
by one with a tuft at its breast, supposed to be a Numidian demoiselle; and 
each of these birds is sometimes preceded by a burning censer, as in fig. 109, 
which, whether alone or as a part of a proper name, should be read bi. Com- 
pare also fig. 115. 
8. 792, Kdfar, a village, Josh. xvii. 24 [Pheen. 753, #8, kefr, Kazrep- 
and Kadap-vaovp, in different MSS. of the New Testament; Kazap-xoria, 
Ptol.]; fig. 102, Pl. 56, 1. 3, KafiRu. 
Oo. Map, Qéreth, a town, Job, xxix. 7 [Phoen. Nap; Map, Qiryath, passim, 
wy 3, guryat, Carthago ; Kipra]; fig. 28, former part, kaRuTa. 
Some other words might be added, but I prefer confining myself at present 
to those of which the identification is obvious. I intend quoting others, in the 
third part, as evidence for the powers of some doubtful characters.
