^{page 319 note a} Dr. Hincks (Trans. Roy. Irish Acad. vol. xix. pt. ii.) considers the date of birth to be reckoned by the years of Ptolemy Alexander, led probably to do so by certain inconsistencies in the reckoning of Pasherenptah's age. The inscription reads, however, plainly Soter. For remarks on this point see the note at the end of this communication.

^{page 319 note b} There is an ambiguity here, as it may read “going to the palace of the Greek monarchs, which is on the sea shore.”

At Philæ also the description of the Sun's passage under the form of a scarab states Tat ap or het sen f- em hut f: “He has set up his image in his ark,” Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 17. A corresponding passage says, Tat or het hut f- em nub: “He has established (or given) his light like gold,” (Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 17 a.); as if this form, after all, was only Tat, to establish. It appears also as the name of Khnum, (Champollion, Not. Descr. p. 182,) and may be so pronounced in the sense of the verb “to join:” “He places (adds or joins) his image to his shrine,” Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 17. The disc is placed or united to its place, Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 39 d. The north wind comes forth to join his nostril, Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 42 a. He has given the upper crown, nefert, in addition to the lower crown, her tat or het enti teshr, united upon his head as the pschent, Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 47. Also in the sense of “joined;” Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 63a, “I have united thy limbs with (or by) life.” Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 70f, The goddess Het states that “she has given life to her son, and added besides breath to her child.” Also Horus placed on the throne, Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iv. 25, 4. The phonetic power of this group is either Tat ap or Het, and it is the equivalent of the plant and serpent. These instances are all from Ptolemaic monuments.

In the Calendar, 4th Sallier Papyrus, Select Papyri, pl. cli. 1. 7, the 19th Athyr is stated to be a bad day at the beginning, middle, and end. “It is the day of the birth of the north wind,” or “the Etesian gales,” in the heaven. “Do not,” add the instructions, “go out and sail on the river, nor …. the sun on that day.” De Kougé Phénomènes Celestes, p. 35. Now, according to Volney, Voyage I. p. 54, the north begins to blow in Egypt about the middle of September, say the 15th. Assuming the normal year of the Sothic cycle as having the 1st Thoth coincident with the 20th July, the date of the calendar is B.C. 1249, or the reign of Menephtah is of that date.

Mesi in this passage is read “bread “or “food “by some.

^{page 331 note g} Tahn is some substance; it is difficult to say what. M. Chabas reads it “crystal.” Pap. Hier. p. 83. A gate is made of it. Lepsius, Todt. lxvi. c. 146,1. 26.

^{page 334 note a} This really reads Petbast; but a very slight alteration in one of the hieroglyphs will make Petsahesi, the reading of the Other tablet. The name of Petbast, the father of Pasherenptah, is written in both tablets with other hieroglyphs, so that no doubt Petsahesi is here intended.
