THE SHEPHERD KINGS OF EGYPT. 245 



and Cotylus for Joktlieel ; Scepsis, Cebrene, Aesepus, Piiapus, Har- 

 pagia, Tereia, Callirlioe and Lectum representing Zii^li, Hebron, 

 Heshbon, Peor, Arba, Atai'otli, Callirlioe or Lasa, and the Lisan or 

 tongue of the Dead Sea. The name Mysia may be derived from that 

 of Mesha, the father of Ziph, but Xaiithus found in it the Lydian 

 translation of Oxya, the beech or ash, as Mysos. It might thus 

 represent Ash-chur or Achuzam. In the reign of Rameses II. we 

 find the Mysians invading Egypt under the standard of the king of 

 the Hittites. In the Troade Homer accordingly places the Cetaei, 

 who are these same Hittites, under Eurypylus, son of Telephus ; but 

 the Troade of Homer is in Southern Palestine. Ashchur is Sangarius, 

 the most ancient divinity of this region as well as the eponym of a 

 river in Bithynia. From his son Achuzam came Achaeium, Assos 

 and the Caicus river. He is also Eetion or Jasion the brother of 

 Dardanus, and, it may be, the old Aesyetes and Buzyges, who con-

 Ilus, the namer of Ilium, a reminiscence of the Egyptian Illahoun, 

 and three of his children appear in the Capys, Tros and Assaracus of 

 Trojan story. Anchises of this line is a Bible Anak, and connects 

 with Aeropus, son of Cepheus, or Arba of Ziph. Teucer we have 

 already found to be Zohar, and Dardanus, son of Corythus, Zereth or 

 his son. Astyoche, a female name, presents a form of Sydyk, who is 

 Achashtari. The following is an attempted restoration of the Trojan 

 line : — 



The feminine royal name Batieia, connected with the Trojan legend, 

 represents Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, and Idaea is the 

 Jehudijah spoken of in the same verse of the 4th chapter of First 

 Chronicles. Ganymede, whom Pindar calls a deity regulating the 

 overflow of the Nile, is Canopus or Anub, the son of Ziphah, the 

 daughter of Jehaleleel or Ilus. As pre-eminently the man of the
