CHAP. XIII. OTHER YOUTHFUL DEITIES. 21 



of the same colour, as in many of the painted 

 tombs, no distinction is maintained between them. 

 I have therefore given an instance of it in the 

 name of Khonso* ; and, if in other places the dis- 

 tinction between the Sun and sieve is not pre- 

 served, the reader will bear in mind that the le- 

 gends are as they appear on the monuments. This 

 will readily occur to any one acquainted with the 

 study of hieroglyphics, especially as no subjects of 

 an intricate nature are here introduced. 



Hake (or Hak), Pneb-to, Hor-pi-re, Hor- 



SENED-TO, AND HaRKA. 



I have already observed that several Deities 

 were represented in the same character as the 

 youthful Harpocrates. Khonso, the last-mentioned 

 God, differs from them by assuming the form of a 

 mummy, by holding in his hands the emblem of 

 stability, united with the sign of life and purity, and 

 by his finger not being raised to his mouth. But 

 he was, like them, the third member of a triad, and 

 his youth was indicated in a similar manner by a 

 lock of hair, the symbol of infancy. At Ombos he 

 has even the hawk of Horus attached to his name, 

 like most of these youthful Deities, t 



Ehoou, the child of Athor, has been already men- 

 tioned t, as well as Harpocrates, the son of Isis. It 

 remains now to speak of Hake, Pnebto, Hor-pi-re, 

 Hor-sened-to, and Harka.
