(1 ^ T" ^ (No. 28) Adirou, Adiloii, and (1 (1 % "^ ^ "^, 



laoudliamalouk (No. 29), have been the object of various and 

 contradictory hypotheses. As the direction in which we may 

 meet with Adirou depends on that in which we may find 

 laoudhamalouk, I have already troubled myself about this 

 latter name. ChampoUion has seen in it the symbol of the 

 kingdom of Judah,* Rosellini that of the king of Judah.t 

 E. de Rouge persisted to the end in holding the opinion of the 

 first Egyptologists as probable, if not certain.} Brugsch, on 

 the other hand, thought that we have here a mere village whose 

 modern representative would be a Yahoudiyeh, el-Yahoudiyeh, 

 either that in the neighbourhood of Tibnin, or that in the 

 neighbourhood of Jaffa. § Blau held to the opinion of Brugsch, 

 andaddedthatour locality,being situated in the neighbourhood 

 of Makkedah, must be identical with the 'IXV lehoud of Dan, 

 that is to say with el-Yehoudieh near Jaffa :|i laoudhamalouk 

 would be the full form ; lehoud an abridged form. Of late 

 M. Max IMiiller has undertaken to show that the Egyptian 



[1(1^ m -^^ '^ ^oQQ not contain the name of Judah: 



y^e ought, says he, to find in the Egyptian the first 



n of m^n^^ and to have ijtj fD ^ fT] :^ c^ 



place of W\ ^ ^ ^^- He thinks that the initial 

 element of the name is T^ " the hand," and that the whole 



T 



corresponds to TyTT^H'T lad-hammelek : the town Idhammelek

t Eosellini, after having adopted tlie opinion of ChampoUion {Mon. 

 Stor., T. II, p. 79-80), was induced by philological scruples to modify it, 

 and to see in the name of our locality the mention of the king of Judah 

 {Mon. Stor., T. IV, p. 158-159).

 M. de Eouge, or M. Eobiou, who has published the Lepns, attributes to 

 ChampoUion the translation of Eosellini and returns to the sense of kingdom, 

 which is precisely that which ChampoUion had proj^osed.
