128 G. MASPEEO, 



in i, even wlien not in the construct case. The word woukl 

 therefore seem to mean " stream of giants." North of Beer- 

 sheba. 



Nos. 75-76. If we are to read Shabhalut Barakit " stream of the 

 tank," the reference might be to the stream at Beersheba, 

 close to the last. 



Nob. 77-78. Pi Haharan-n-^ Azal should be sought further south. 



No. 79. Adidima I should suppose to be Adadah, which pre- 

 serves its name south-east of Beersheba. The ma seems to 

 be a definite pi-onoun added in this and other cases, as in 

 Assyrian and Amorite. 



No. 80. ZapaJca suggests the word TuhJi, common in the Syrian 

 dialect for a " plateau." 



No. S3. Gaimt is no doubt Jennata as proposed by M. Maspero. 

 I think it is No. 70 of the list of Thothmes III. 



Nos. 84-85. Pi Nagabu Azamiit (according to Brugsch), if correct 

 might be connected with A^mon, which was in the Negeb 

 or " dry " land. 



Nos. 86-87-88. " The canals and deserts of Slianaia " suggest a 

 possible change of n for the Hebrew on, and in such ca,se 

 with Shema, or not impossibly the impox'tant ruin Sarndh, 

 north-east of Beersheba. 



No. 89 is perhaps beyond the Survey limits on the south. 



Nos. 90-91. Ouarak if to be read Bdruh is I think the ruin so 

 called south-east of Hebron, which, as collected for me in 

 1875, is spelt with the Koph (v. .Lt). It is within the Negeb, 

 which included the desert hills in this part. 



Nos. 92-93. Asliakati is Ashahathat according to Brugsch. If 

 this be, as M. Maspero holds, from a root HhuJchah, it seems 

 probable that the village Esh Shiilkh, north-east of Hebron, 

 is the site, which would fit with the preceding. 



Nos. 94-95. Pi Hakarait Hauina. I think that the ruin of 

 Ghanaim, close to Bariik, is worth consideration. The two 

 gutturals are sometioies interchanged. 



Nos. 96-97. PI HaJcarau Alagad or AruTicul. There is a ruin 

 RaJcdh close to the preceding (^i^ ,) which has the required 

 ko2:)h. 



No. 98. Adamaim (or Adoviam, Brugsch) might be the large 

 ruin Domeh, some miles further west. 



No. 99. Hanini, perhaps the Biblical Anim, now Ghmveiu, 

 soath-east of the preceding.
