 product by Menecrates, Aristotle an. viii. 24, and Pliny xi. 7. From "the resinous substance called

1173B. C. (= 1 155 + his "19th year"), the accession of Ramessu IX. Khaem-miamun, 

 seventh king of the Twentieth dynasty, may be placed provisionally at this date. His 

 name occurs at Medinet Abu, and on two stelae — now in Berlin (Glid. analect.).

 theus, seventh Attic king. Erechtheus is mentioned by Homer il. ii. 547 and od. vii. 81 ; and accord-

 (Lenz), in Greece " oglegoras " (Fraas) ; in which we recognize the "s£n£kioum" of the Romans 

 identified in Syn. Dinsc. with the " erigeY6n " or "grShthites" (named apparently from Erechtheus 

 and his temple on the Acropolis) : — the " erigSron," old in the spring from flowering throughout 

 the winter, is mentioned by Theophrastus vii. 7. 1 to caus. i. 22. 4; is termed "acanthida" by Calli- 

 machus from its heads of down resembling those of thistles, by others "pappus " (Plin.) ; is yellow- 

 flowered according to Dioscorides and growing chiefly in cities and along walls ; and is identified 

 by Ebn Baitar with the "shih elrabia : " S. vulgaris was observed by Delile at Damietta in Egypt;
