^{page 112 note b} The accompanying plan and drawing of their appearance, (Plate XIII. ) as seen in the tomb, which was a sunk one, with the shafts or wells over which the false doors stood, I owe to the kindness of Sir J. Gardner Wilkinson, who has allowed me to add them to the present paper.

^{page 113 note d} It is to be observed that the reigns of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus cover the space of a century and a half. Also compare steles D'Anastasi, Nos. 10, 11, for the striking difference remarkable even in one reign.

^{page 114 note e} Sir J. Gardner Wilkinson has identified the hieglyg or persea as the trees of Athor— the hieroglyphical inscriptions read which Champollion, Gr. Eg. p. 88, makes sycamore.

^{page 114 note f} This indicates the dedication of the temple to this goddess. Athor (Venus) is a companion or wife of Phtah or Vulcan in the scenes.

No opinion has been offered with regard to the period of Cheops or Chephren, because at present we have no monumental evidence to connect his line with the sixteenth or seventeenth dynasty. In the lists of Manetho he appears in the fourth Memphite dynasty; while the chronology of Rosellini brings up Osortasen I. to 2081 A.C. leaving only 266 years between him and the deluge; but the three great Pyramid builders reigned above one hundred and fifty years. M. Lenormant would assign a date of above 4000 B.C.? while the commonly received date is 2123 A.C. Reiske, Herod, lib. 11. sec. 124. makes it 1182–1132 A.C. for the reign of Cheops, and for Chephren 1132–1076.
