the English heart, the German herz, the Latin cor, the Greek 
kardia, the Hebrew keli, sounds syllabically hr. By these 
very same hieroglyphs (face and heart) the Egyptians 
expressed the name of the demigod, the Dei-anies Hothare, as 
the Greeks pronounced the face and the heart, the name of 
this demigod. As the consonants lit hr, correspond with the 
consonants both in hathor and hothare ; the Egyptians, while 
omitting the vowels like the Hebrews, applied the face and 
the heart for the purpose of signifying both Hathor and 
Hothare. The same is the case with the syllabic value of all 
other Egyptian hieroglyphs, as "Seyffarth's Grammatica 
JEgyptiaca," has explained in extenso. 
Apart from this Hathor or Yenus in the house of Mercury, 
there is another emblem of the planet Yenus placed in the 
house of Saturn, No. 7 on the left hand, the well-known 
"Horus, the avenger of his father." As Yenus stood, 
together with the Sun and the Moon, in Sagittarius ; and as 
the Egyptians used in such cases to specify the decuria and 
the horion occupied by a planet, these different images of 
Yenus were to show that she, as standing in Sagittarius, occu- 
pied the decuria of Saturn (10° — 20°), and the horion of 
Mercury (10° — 14°). Consequently the real longitude of 
Yenus was then 10° — 14° inclusive in Sagittarius. 
No. 3. Thoth (Mercury) represented as on the other 
side, is here accompanied by the legend : — Amoni mashi 
moshi emate em beri pe Thotho ef; i.e., "Thoth, who 
led the pious defunct to be joined with the Creator of the 
world." 
No. 4 represents the sun- god, bearing the solar disc, 
surrounded by the uraeus, whose title is " uro thotho," i.e., 
"the king of both the worlds." Next to him stands 
" Moshi," usually ornamented with the ostrich feather, which 
expresses the same word "Moshi," i.e., the walker or runner, 
another name for the Moon. Consequently, this representa-
