248 W. Theobald — Notes on some of the symbols found on the [No. 3) 
round crozier fashion, adding another morphological link in the genealo- 
gical chain which hinds our modern hierophants through the Pontifex 
Maximus of both old and modern Rome with Nature worship and the 
cult of Baal. The ‘nomen’ may be changed, but- the Numen is the same. 
222. Four CIRCLES ENCLOSING FOUR BALLS, BUT WITHOUT A CROSS. Fig. 173. 
223. A FIGURE TO RIGHT HOLDING A SHORT STAFF. Fig. 6. 
This may bo intended for the figure of a ‘ chobdar ’ or Court 
functionary, but is rather obscure. It is on one of the large copper coins 
from Eran, on which many now types appear which are not found on 
the earlier coins. 
224. A GOAT BROWSING ON A TINE. Fig. 221. - 
On this coin, which is in the British Museum, the horns are clearly 
seen. 
225. A BOAT OR ‘ CORACLE.’ Fig. fil. 
226. A FOOD RECEPTACLE WITH LOOP TO THE LEFT AND RAILING BELOW. 
Fig. 120. 
This symbol is on a copper coin from Eran. The oldest form of 
this ‘ receptacle ’ seems to be the one proTided with two ears as in fig. 118. 
This ‘ loop ’ or ear is there contracted into a short straight stroke as in 
figs. 120, 121, 122, whilst the loop is entirely dropped in the latest form 
of the symbol, as seen on the coins of Amogha, fig. 119. 
227. A CURVED FILLET DEVOID OF ORNAMENT. Fig. 214. 
228. Symbol 92, only ovals between the ‘ chatras ’ in place of spheres. 
Fig. 100. 
229. An Elephant to the right with a frame of ‘ Tatcrines.’ 
A figure given by Thomas. 
230. An eel with a fish (?) on either side. Fig. 40. 
This symbol is figured by Thomas. It is doubtful if the lateral 
objects are fish. 
231 . A turtle between two fish (?) 
Figured hy Thomas. 
232. Tee ‘ swastika.’ Fig. 134. 
Figui'ed by Thomas.
