1895-96.] THE CELT IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND BABYLONIA. 103 



Tithonus and allied traditions which represent Akh's husband as an old 

 man. 



Since the foregoing was written, I have discovered a series of Baby- 

 lonian kings of Celtic birth, pertaining to what is called the Kassite 

 Dynasty. The first of these is Ulam-Girbat, or, more properly, Girbat- 

 Ulam. He, like Tushratta and Artassamara, was a son of Satarna, but 

 acquired the name Ulam by marriage into the family of the Cymric 

 Ulam-Buryas. In the Tell-el-Amarna Semitic letters he is called Rib- 

 addu, and his son Meli-Gali is termed Malchiel. The successor of Meli- 

 Gali was Meli-Sumu, a Celtic Mail-gun or Malcolm, and his was 

 Meli-Sibarru, a Mulciber, followed by Meli-Kit. In classical mythology, 

 Girbat is no less a personage than Sarpedon, the son of Asterius and 

 Europa, Asterius being his father Satarna, and his brother Artassamara 

 being Rhadamanthus, The daughter of Girbat married Khamus, the 

 son of Amenhotep II., of Egypt, and the offspring of this union was 

 Tuaa, the wife of Shamas-Iva, and mother of Thi.
