444 THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS. CHAP. XIII. 



described by him dressed in the skin of a wolf, as 

 Anubis in that of a dog. Of Macedo, I have been 

 unable to ascertain any thing from the sculptures j 

 though it is possible that he may also have the form 

 of a jackal-headed Deity similar to Anubis, with 

 the horns and other devices as his hieroglyphic ; 

 and it is not impossible that these horns may in 

 some way refer to the idea of punishment which 

 Horapollo* tells us was denoted by a cow's horn. 



Having now mentioned the different members 

 of the family of Seb and Netpe, who are Osiris, 

 Aroeris, the Evil Being, Isis, and Nephthys, with 

 their children Horus, Harpocrates, Anubis, and 

 Macedo, and in connection with them Typho and 

 the Serpent Aphophis, I proceed to notice the 

 remaining Deities of the Pantheon, which will form 

 a second part of this chapter. I shall not stop to 

 inquire respecting their rank or right to priority ; 

 nor shall I distinguish between those of the second 

 and third order, the former of whom are limited 

 by Herodotus to the number of twelve. And if any 

 preference is shown in their arrangement, it is solely 

 in consequence of their being of more frequent oc- 

 currence, or represented on older monuments.
