THE LIST OF SHESHONQ AT KARKAK. 119 



This reading is so much the more hkely that there is no root 

 ^5, but many roots such as ^^^^, prodiit, j^'vcessit miles in 

 helium^ whence t*^!^ arinii, Hl^ 2)rodiit stella, &c. : Zabia 

 Avould be the exact transcription of H^^^ « doe, a name 

 given to women, t^^llJ, H^^^, and Avliich may be here 

 apphed to a locahty. No. 119 is read by Champolhon

l] _^ f^^"^ Maliouga. As the roots 'pTV^ longe discessif, ^07 

 llnxit, pnt2 jyercussit, are there to support Avhichever reading 

 we may prefer, only the study of the wall will permit a de- 

 cision between Champollion and Brugsch. It is now so

 often in Egyptian the value of -y vocalized with i, and ^ 

 equivalent to J?Q. Names beginning with Bli- are frequent 

 at present in the desert region which extends between 

 Hebron and the Dead Sea, but none of them recalls our

 Louz, Ber-Louzah, the well of the almond tree, with the 

 ordinary orthography in B J^ and no more in V, F k^... 



This well of the almond tree has nothing in common with the 

 two places of the Bible called Louz, one of which was the 

 Bethel of Benjamin, and the other belonged to the Plittites
