that Kifout can be /lil. This iiitevpretation does not get iis 



out of our difficulties, as we see ; it has even the inconven- 

 ience of raising a very strong objection. The chiefs of 

 conquered hinds never figure in the lists : the cartouche 

 No. 54 of Sheshonq would be an unique case in Egyptian 

 archaeology if we ought to take it in Osburn's light. My 

 impression then is that Ave ought not here to divide the group : 

 it should be considered as forming one single word Fouroukit, 

 Paoiiroukit, which the scribe amused himself by writing with 

 elements giving in Egyptian a sense which has nothing in 

 common with the original meaning in Hebrew. He has 

 transcribed the first syllable Pow' ^^-^^,^jaou?'02;, the chief, 

 in lieu of n ^ .^^ for example ; he has chosen for the second, 



lit, the term ^^^ , a. graphic variant of "^ — -^ 1 1\ kiti^ which 



signifies other, and the name FouroukU finds its analysis in 

 an Egyptian phrase more or less correct which would mean 

 the other chief. ^^ -^^ ^^zz:^ ^^ Foiirouliti, Foidoukifi, is for 



me the word ilill/D, from HS^D, ^vS, a stream, in Arabic 



Jj j^j . Wo have in fact in the district of el-Medjdel a 



town of l^Jli Faloudja," .^.p-Jlii^t el-Faloudjy, which for

 A ncAv lacuna of four cartouches breaks the series afresh. 

 No. 64, |i^?fj: n ^^^^^ /wwvN . . . papen, has been completed by 

 BlauJ as 'Aapen, ""^Di? Ophni, Gophnah : the restoration has 

 taken no account of the middle syllable p)a, and is inde- 

 fensible, but I knoAV no more than Brugsch§ hoAV to complete 

 the group. Happily No. 65 furnishes us a precious indication ; 

 Brugsch has recognized that <"=' 1 ^ i 1^ 1 m- ^^^^^ ^^ azaviaW
