 Horus (an oversight of mine), but the others remain.

objects to the equivalence of Hophra with the Egyptian >rf {] It is 



worthy of careful study. 



Si-aha seems to stand as the Egyptian " son of the Moon-god." 

 I am much pleased to find M. Maspero of the same opinion as to Beth-ia, 

 and gladly accept his correction as to the former elements in Kafenia or rather 

 Gefgnia, which if a Semitic name may mean " Vine of Jah " (see Gesen. on 

 the use of |S3). 



M. Maspero objects with much reason to P>rugsch's identification of 

 Penuel, mentioned in p. 7. If the reader will revert to the text of my paper, 

 he will be able to assure himself that these acute and learned criticisms do 

 not affect more than a few of my tentative suggestions, and I am the more 

 happy to find that the main line of my inquiry approves itself to so high an 

 authority as " une bonne voie."
