PItiMtTlVE HisfORY OF THE lONlANS. 575 



involving tedious explanation. I may mention, however, tliat Nadab 

 appears in the Greek Antipbates, reproducing the Egyptian Entefs; 

 Appaim in Iphis; and the other members of his family in correspond- 

 ing names belonging to the Hellenic myths of "Thebes" and of "the 

 cows." These myths I hope soon to be able to identify in every 

 particular with similar legends in Indian story, and with histoiical 

 facts in Egypt and on the borders of Palestine. 



It remains merely that I should sum up a few of the particulars 

 appearing in connectioli with names that, if not identical in form, 

 which is not to be expected, are at least near in resemblance, and 

 which, recurring from time to time in the same order and with 

 similar relations, afford presumptive evidence that they designate 

 the same persons. These I shall simply specify, leaving the reader 

 to verify them by refenin^ to the divisions of the paper in which 

 they occur.

 forms, i.e., names agreeing with them.
