THE LIST OF SHESHONQ AT KAENAK. llo 



Guerin calls ^u^A-vi jU, Oned Ftis and ^jj^jUl] jj ^.y^ 

 Khavbet Oued el-Ftis,* and wliicli the English map 

 spells Kliarbet Futeis. {j^'^ contains all the elements 

 of a ;^ I \\l\\ J}T«T ""^ : l::^ is here the counterpart of 

 K-<=^ I =: rr^S., and ^vu,.> answers to nil^V ^^7 ^li^^ substitu- 

 tion of / w for ^S which is so frequent in the transition of 

 Hebrew names to Arabic. The identification of Fit-Iaousha 

 with Kharbet Fouteis, Fateis or Ftis confirms the opinion 

 which I have above expressed on the subject of Azamah, 

 and encourages me more and more to seek this town between 

 Ouady el-Hesy and Oued esh-Sheriah, rather near a line 

 drawn from Kharbet Fouteis to cl-]\Iedjdel, or to Kharbet 

 lerzah. 



It is equally in the neighbourhood of Kharbet-Fouteis that 

 it would be worth while to seek the towns which follow, if 

 the maps were not so desperately poor, f] ^ *^^~p* _^, ^^ 

 Arou-haloul, Alou-haloid, is one of those names in which 

 Rouge Avould recognize the Arabic article J 1 ;t I have already 

 said above | how difficult it is to allow in our list the presence 

 of Arabic forms, and I will not repeat it. I think that we 

 have here one of those names 77n"7t<! El-lialal, in which are 

 present both the word 7t^ Ood, and the root hjTl luxif, 



snlenduif. The site is unknown to me. Afv ^ 



E^^N:^ T=rr (4^ I (Nos.71-72)7-*rt/;o»^?'aa6i7(f;»a contains 



a plural D'^^Ili;^ fi'oni h^^ meadoic, field : the Avhole is translated 

 the enclosure of meadows, and designates an unkno\vn site. 

 j4LJJ^^^S^_£^[lflt---] ShaUalout ni Gahri 



(Nos. 73-74) literally signifies tlie river of the Hero, for ^^^ 

 _^^[][] Gahri is the exact transcription of "yy^mau, soldier. 

 Blau has identified the second cartouche Avith Betogabris, 

 which is now Beit-Djibrin,§ and I adhered to his opinion,|| but

§ Blau, Sisaqs Zug, in the Z.d.d.JL, T. XV, p. 23. He read the name 

 JVgbariJ, " wobei das N, entweder bloss lautliclier Vorschlag ist, oder 

 gi-aphisch richtiger am Ende der Cartouche zu stellen sein wild."
