410 PRIMITIVE HISTORY OF THE lOlslANS. 



ried Haiiku, a Heliopolitan piincess f^ and, according to Mr. 

 Osburn, Cliebron Amenophis was one of tlie husbands of Taia, who 

 plainly belongs to the line of Onam."^^ I am in doubt here. On the 

 one hand, it seems that, as I stated in my paper on the Shepherd 

 Kings, Hepher, the son of Ashchur, whom I supposed to be the father 

 of Kenaz or Pachnas, married into this family, with which his' 

 brother Achuzam or Athothes was already connected.''® But there 

 seem to be many i-easons for j)lacing Oephren at a much later period, 

 and for insisting upon the appearance of a final n in the name of the 

 person with whom he is to be identified. These, and more scientific 

 and important reasons, which will appear in the course of tracing 

 the family of Onam through the ti'aditions of peoples other than the 

 Egjrptians, have led me to the conclusion that Hebron or Chebron, 

 the son of Mareshah,'" became connected by marriage with the 

 Onites in the line either of Shammai or of Jadag. The shield of one 

 of his sons, Rekem or E,ekamai, occurs at Lycopolis,®" and may serve 

 to confirm an alliance, to which the presence of such names as Shema 

 and Shammai among his descendants, seems to testify. 



Maf kat, the copper country of the Sinaitic peninsula, would appear 

 to have unveiled its mineral treasures first to the rulers of Heliopolis ; 

 for Athor was its great divinity, and a portion of the Anii, more than 

 two generations after their defeat by Usecheres, made their home 

 among its mountains, coming forth at times to harass the miners 

 whom Suphis or Ziph, the great grandson of Usecheres, kept there 

 in a state, of painful servitude.®^ Later still, when the Shepherd 

 families were driven back to Palestine, and the Rameses ruled in 

 Egypt; when Cretans from the coast of the Cherethites, Sicilians 

 from Eshcol and Ziklag (an ancient Zancle), Sardinians or Dardan- 

 ians from Zarthan, Achseans from Accho, Achzib and Achshaph, 

 Lycians from Lachish, Mysians from Maachah, and many other 

 Japhetic " families resident in Palestine, invaded the land of the 

 Pharaohs, or fought for their homes against the aggressions 'of its 

 monarchs;^^ the Anu or lonians of Gaza were not absent, but with-
