100. Sepulchral scarabsei, generally engraved with a prayer or 
formula, extracted from the ritual, relative to the heart or soul, of which 
it was probably the emblem. Considerable difference exists in the 
length of the inscriptions; but they often contain the name of the 
deceased. The inscribed sepulchral scarabsei are found between the 
folds of the interior bandages and on the chest of the mummies. The 
inscription is on the base; but the names and titles of the deceased, 
figures of deities, &c., are found on the elytra and corslet. From the 
difference observable in the elytra, different species of the insect seem 
to be represented. Among these are a small green jasper scarabaeus, 
set in a semi-oval plinth of gold, said to have been found in the coffin 
of king Enintef, but bearing the name of the king Savakem . . f; several 
bear the names of different functionaries; one has a heart-shaped vein, 
in which is engraved a bennou, and at its sides “ the heart of the sun.”
