THE LIST OF SHESHONQ AT KARNAK. 103 



the two hypotheses.* An examination of the wall of Karnak 

 has shown me that we ou^ht to write (<^^ ° 1? 



Bito-Loumim or Bito-Roumim with a ^^^ ;-|, and nut a 

 '^^ VA 0ii6 cannot dream of a reading Bit-Toloumin or 

 Bit-Touroumim, which will give us a name equivalent either 

 to the Telera sStp or D^^^ID Telaim of Judah, or to Tolmah 

 aUli? ^z^Jj h .:>- of modern maps.J ^^n* is here a variant of 

 the final |j g >^ ti, t of J^4| BH, and indicates a vocali- 

 zation in analogous to that which the pronunciation Betho- 

 gdbra, Betogahris, discloses to us. The second part of the name 

 _2?ft J^ ^rxxx/1 roumam, loumam, or perhaps rounivm, loumim, may 

 be a singular word as ^tyr\ elafio, or a plural, l3"'P"), from 

 D^l hiibalus, or from a derivative of the root Q^"^, alius fnit. 

 Bit-roumim is a correct name, but one that I know not where 

 to place on the land. )J^ a \ -^ ()[] [^^ (No. 37) 

 Qaqali, Qaqari, is, in the opinion of Blau,§ the Tlh'^Vp^ Kcilah 

 of Judali, Avhich we identify with the Kharbet Kila of the 

 Ouady Souweideh, to the east of Beit-Djibriu. 



The comparison of Qaqali, Qagali Avith Keilah appears to 

 me legitimate, for the transcription Kegila of the Vulgate 

 shews that the ^ has in this name the tendency towards -; 



it may be rendered by A in Egyptian, as the j; of Gaza is by 

 ^. If we find that the site of Keilah is too far south, we may 

 think of another Kharbet Kila which the English map marks 

 to the west of Eshoua, and whose situation north of Shou- 

 weikeh and east of Kheimeh is sufiiciently in accord with the 

 position of Qagali between laouhama and Shaouka.
