Assyria down to the time of Assur-bani-pal. '—uy Sar-I, “ I is king ” ; 1 was a 
divine name, and we know from the tablets that it was equivalent to lau, lahu. 
It is remarkable that the first element in Is-cah aud Mil-call is represented 
by one sign, is, mil, as if Milcah were a variant reading of Iseali. Th e 
former would he “queen”; but as ro'O is a variant of ro’O, “who, like 
lau,” so roV» may represent mb’O, and mean “ lau is king,” the same as 
Sar-i, afterwards rnttf. [Mr. Sayce writes : “ I should say Dr. Haigh’s 
explanation of nty is impossible. The word is merely a dialectic form of 
mur, c queen ’ (see Delitzsch, &c.). Dr. Haigli is mistaken about I, lau, &c> 
The supposition rests on a reading now known to be false, or rather mis- 
understood.] 
I think Sarai is princess ( royal-horn ) but Sarah, queen. — II. G. T. 
44. I am firmly convinced that the xxxvii. Amu at Benihassan are the 
family of Israel. I presented my proofs to Soc. Bibl. Arch., but withdrew 
my paper because the Council limited me to twelve pages. I believe they 
visited Num-hotep because he was of their kindred, son of a Nahor, and 
probably descended from one of those who accompanied Abram to Egypt, and 
there remained (as I believe Saneham was). 
So also I believe that Terah, Nahor, Abram, Sari, Harau, Lot, and Milcah 
arc portrayed on a cylinder from Ilillah (figured in Layard’s Niu. and 
Babylon [538, and in Chalcl. Gen., 118]), on which Terah is entitled “ brother 
of the king of Warka, record writer, minister of instruction.” 
[Mr. Sayce writes : The name Terah is not found in the inscription, and 
though Dr. Haigli long ago suggested to me that Terah and his family were 
represented on the cylinder, I confess I have never been able to see any ground 
for the idea.] 
65. I believe that Abram aud the Hyksos came long before the twelfth 
dynasty, but as friends ; that the Hyksos were the companions of Abram whom 
he left in Egypt (according to Artapanus), and that it was long before the 
war broke out. 
66. It is especially interesting to note that the city of Set in this inscrip-

has also the value am [see De Rouge, VI. prem. Dyun., 60. — H.G.T.] This, 
then, is the true reading. [A very interesting note. The town has been 
identified with the modern “ Benha, close to the ruins of Atrib,” by 
Dr. Haigh, Zeitschr., 1875, 99.— II.G.T.] 
67. Sanehara’s story I have discussed at full in the Zcitschrift, and shown 
that he was of the kindred of Nahor. 
Ammu, an shi, Goodwin, nen, Chabas ; weight of authority for the former. 
[Mr. Sayce remarks on Tennu : llarkavy has shown that the word Tennu 
should be read Temennu, which is plainly the Teman of Scripture. (See his 
Paper before Oriental Congress at St. Petersburg).]
