XII.—The Annals of Thothmes III., as derived from the Hieroglyphical Inscriptions. By Samuel Birch, Esq., Assistant Keeper of the Antiquities in the British Museum
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2012
Extract
The appearance of the magnificent work of the Chevalier Lepsius, containing such vast materials for the history of Egypt, a copy of which has been presented by the King of Prussia to the Society of Antiquaries, compels me to resume my labours upon the annals of the Egyptian monarch Thothmes III. I had formerly given some account of this reign, perhaps the most glorious for Egypt, in translating the so-called statistical inscription of Karnak; but the publication of four other inscriptions, all having relation to the same subject, renders it necessary to give a translation of the entire five, and to show their corresponding relation to each other. Unfortunately, the mutilation of this monument, either by the incursions of time, by fanatical heretics of the oldest period of Egypt itself, or by other barbarian hands, renders the text considerably interrupted and mutilated. Yet the careful reader can still follow the thread of the narrative, and study this fragment of the old colossal history of Central Asia and civilized Africa. Not, however, to dilate here too much on the historical portion, but merely warning the inquirer that the apparent incoherence is caused not so much by our ignorance of the hieroglyphical writing as by the great lacunae in .the text, and also observing that the philological observations are thrown into the notes, in order not to encumber the general remarks, I will proceed to the interpretation of these five inscriptions in their historical order. They occur on the wall of the great temple of the god Amen Ra, at Karnak, one of the quarters of Thebes, close to the granite sanctuary at Thebes, which was built by Thothmes III. and restored by the monarch Har-em-hebi, or Horus, of the eighteenth dynasty. About one half of the text is wanting.

page 117 note a See the fourth inscription, horizontal line. Necht is “power.” Anastasi Papyrus. In the Select Papyri, pl. lxiii. is a poem entitled ha em s-gut nechtu nb Kam, “the beginning of declaring the power of the lord of Egypt.”
page 117 note b It is doubtful if the vase on two legs, Bunsen, 388, No. 88, should be read EN. The little vase replaces the syllable Chen (Champollion, Dict. p. 415) in m chn “within.” It may be mas.
page 117 note c The flying nestling (Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 56) is replaced in the Papyrus of Ten-hesi (Brit. Mus.) by fig. 1, or fig. 2, in the places (Lepsius, Todt. xlvii. c. 125, c. 21, xlviii. c. 43), reading GAMI or GAI, in the sense of “to steal,” . Hence this city may be GA-RU or GAMI-RU. Cf.

page 117 note d The group kn, usually read “to conquer, ” on a tablet, Brit. Mus. p. 248, is determined by the rowing arms. Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 572–9. Apparently for KIN, to move.
page 117 note e Ha nu, the group is (Lepsius, Abth. K. Akad. Wissensch. Berlin, 4to, 1851, s. 42, note), Coptic (fig. 148), and means, according to its determinatives, “order, rank, time, water.”
page 117 note f (Fig. 4), perhaps hag, to “compel.”
page 117 note g The group here should be restored mahur “the warriors.” See Rosellini, M. R. cii. for the mahuri of the Khita. On one of the Alexandrian obelisks (Burton, Exc. Hier. xl.) Rameses II. is called “the warrior,” mahur, determined by a youth, (as, be it observed, is also the word Kelasher on Lady Tennyson's papyrus) of Anta or Anaitis. Burton, Exc. Hier. pl. xl. It is probably the Chaldee .

page 117 note i (Fig. 3) shabt, sometimes written basht; cf. Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iii. bl. 32, 1. 19; generally applied to hostile lands; cf. 1. 29, heru; “besides, numerous.”
page 118 note a (Fig. 5) ti “to take;” Champollion, Notice, p. 105, ti m’ pch tu nb, “takes by his power all countries.”
page 118 note b Read net or neg (Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 587. No. 27); but, as, the little vase is often suffixed, perhaps rather GN. It is equal to fig. 6. Rosellini, M. C. lviii. 6. See Archæologia, vol. xxxiv. p. 364, note d. M. De Rougé (Mémoire sur le Tombeau d'Ahmes, p. 63) reads ANeT. See Champollion, Notice, p. 427. An office is called gne-ut ru akar gut-hr n sutn (Champoll. Notice, p. 492), quick-mouthed, clever, saying what pleased the king.
page 118 note c (Fig. 7) shiu.—Cf. Karnak Tablet, 1. 9. This phrase again occurs, as the Papyrus roll is sometimes determinative of ideas connected with books, such as rech, “to know” or reckon, ap, “to add, ” &c. probably the Coptic , to verify, collect, &c.
page 118 note d Probably out of the waters of Egypt, i. e. all the chiefs from the “torrens Ægypti, ” which was at the frontier; yet the three water lines are placed for blood or issue, as in the titles of prince, Shaemgam, at Beitoually “the divine issue.” Champ. Mon. Pl. lxxi.; Rosellini, M. R. No. lxxiv.; Champollion, Mon. Notice, p. 391, “the princess issue of his body.”
page 118 note e Hna shar, “and” or “with” the shar of Naharaina. Shar is perhaps for , sar, “a prince, ” such Aramæan words being introduced; as, at later times, Sris, for Eunuch.—Proscynema of Persians at Kosseir Road, Burton, Ex. Hier. pl. xxiv.
page 118 note f (Fig. 8) r-nti, “now, ” commences epistolary correspondence. Su is the detached pronoun of the third person masculine.—Cf Champollion, Gr. p. 66.
page 118 note g Or Gut tn na, “tell ye to me.” There is always an ambiguity about these phrases. Generally the nominative is close to the verb, and the accusative most remote, but in some sentences the N of the preterite seems to show that the accusative is nearest beside the verb; gut or gu has either the preposition SHR (Champollion, Gr. p. 180), or N (Ibid. 182, 311).
page 118 note h Cheft, here probably “facing, ” as M. De Rougé, Mémoire, p. 69; and following from the place (Lepsius, Denkm. iii. bl. 31), and that cited by M. De Rougé (Rév. Arch. 1853, p. 653), it evidently means “inclusive.”
page 118 note i (Fig. 9) ach or cha. Champollion, Lettres Ecrites, p. 347, reads “turn” in the speech of the birds. Apparently the form of a verb, “they as how go? “interrogative. Cf. Papyrus Sallier, No. 3; Select Papyri, pl. xxxv. 1. 5, 10. Who is he like going on this road. Which, what.
page 119 note a Au tu, has been, or was. The paddle (fig. 10) is not tu, as hitherto read, but chr. A little tablet (Brit. Mus. No. 246) gives (figs. 11, 12) hr-er chru for the usual feast of the dead. Lepsius, Einleit. s x.; Cf. Brugsch, Lib. Met. 16; Lepsius, Todt.; and Tablet, Brit. Mus. 162; Sharpe, Eg. Inscr. pl. xvii. 1. 2.—Hence it is not ma-tu, but ma cheru; perhaps the origin of the Greek Μακαρ ιος, “blest.”
page 119 note b See 1. 13, hr with the lizard as a determinative.
page 119 note c (Fig. 13) ami, “belonging, ” as an adjective occurs frequently in these inscriptions, according to the usual syntax, after the pronoun, which has before it the substantive.—See Lepsius, Denk. Abth. iii. bl. xxxii. 1. 28–80.
page 119 note d Naa, the usual word for great.—Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 536.
page 119 note e Is here determined by a road .
page 119 note f (Fig. 15) maksu, apparently “to adjust it.”—See Rosellini, M. C. cxxiii. b. cxxiv. “adjust it [the flogging] to the ta n hat, ‘world’ or ‘place of his heart.’” Mak, “to make, ” is a separate independent word, as mak kam, watcher of Egypt. Beitoually, Rosellini, M. R.
page 119 note g Ta-a-na ka. The Hebrew , Taanach.—Judges, v. 19.
page 119 note h Here it must be read, hr na r mh. Maketa, “I have proceeded to the north of Maketa (Megiddo), ” which seems most correct; it might, indeed be r mh maten, “to the north of the road;” but the first reading is preferable.
page 119 note i Cha gu. See 1. 26.
page 119 note k (Fig. 14) satp-sa.—Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iii. bl. 39, 6, and 50 b. 74 c. “Coming in peace behind, ” or “beside the health, ” i. e. the king. Restore here the detached pronoun nuk “I.”—Champollion, Gr. Eg. p. 283.
page 120 note a Au gu a, “I will go.”—Champollion, Gr. Eg. p. 414.
page 120 note b Amm, the optative prefix ammi, a variant of mai.—Champollion, Gr. Eg. p. 23, amm shru nti hr f. “should there he a passage which is on it, ” i. e. “should it be possible to go on it.”
page 120 note c Amm iu nti hr f. The same, —“should there be any coming on it, ” i. e. “should the road be practicable.”
page 120 note d An, in the sense of “that, for;” quod—occurs in many texts.
page 120 note e The word here is hr. See 1. 13, 19.

page 120 note g (Fig. 16) rs or ls, Coptic , vigilance, or to watch with the open eye, determinative of such ideas as ptar, “to explain.”—Lepsius, Todt. Rubric, c. 17; and Bunsen, Eg. Pl. p. 540, No. 50.
page 120 note h (Fig. 17) a occurs in 1. 52; and apparently in the sense of “hailed.”—Cf. Abth. iii. bl. 31, 1. 58, “said his majesty. Amen, &c. is before me.”
page 120 note i Teb, “the horn, ” wing of the army, cornu, as amongst the Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans.
page 121 note a Kaha, probably , earth, land. In line 17, Abth. iii. bl. 32, sgar m-stesi cha rarni m kaha, “topsy-turvy, like fishes on a floor, ” or “on the ground.” See also Archæologia, vol. xxxiv. p. 369; and Prisse, Monumens, pl. xxi. l. 31.
page 121 note b Chas, the form here is imperfect; part of the word s-chas, follower.
page 121 note c Peka, the gap or mouth of the valley.—Cf. Dr. Hincks's Roy. Irish Acad. vol. xxxi. pl. No. 43, 44. This word is subsequently used for a measure of honey (fig. 88).
page 121 note d The hind quarters of the lion; Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 544, No. 78, accompanies verbs of violence, as “chasing, ” kfa, taking, rushing.
page 122 note a (Fig. 18) ka here and in the next line looks like a grammatical form; the army rushed forward, as, ka-kar sn, they would fight; ka turn n, we would not. Cf. 1. 46, Lepsius, Abth. iii. bl. 31, ka sngut sn, “would they say to his majesty.”
page 122 note b (Fig. 19) bnr, here and in l. 22. Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iii. bl. 32, determined by the house, “the (better) dromos behind this wall.” In the Sallier Papyrus III.; Select Papyri, pl. xxiv. 1. 9, determined by the road. Bunsen, Egypt's Place, pp. 546, 100, “on his course to the pursuit of all the warriors of the Khita, ” &c.
page 122 note c Restore here hau, either “leaders “or “guides.”
page 122 note d Mr m mu, the going round of light; Coptic , “mere-dies, ” which is the more probable, as there are expressions already known, such as ubn for sunrise, help for sunset.
page 122 note e (Fig. 20) chnu, kinnu, or hnnu: the doubt is whether this means a river, brook, or lake; either the river Kanah, or else the lake of Gennesareth, in Egyptian Kin-ruta. Chen means literally “within.”
page 122 note f R tgu kar tn, “to tell you to hasten;” kar is to do a thing secretly, lie in ambush.
page 122 note g (Fig. 21) sspt, to supply, adjust; Cf. Champollion, Gr. Egypt, p. 356; applied to the adjustment of horns. The word shau, “crowns” or armour, has the determinative of iron; (Champollion, Gr. Eg. p. 90), which is placed after various portions of armour. See below. Au tu, shall I (?), see Archæologia, vol. xxxiv. p. 365. Champollion (Mon. t. iii. pl. ccvi.), Tu cha Mentu, “I am like Mentu.”

page 122 note i (Fig. 23) , aun, “the quarter, ” the place where the king's tent was pitched; see, however, the left and right lintels of the door.—Lepsius, Todt. xlix. 125, 1. 54, 55.
page 122 note j Or else, restore meru n st tn, the chiefs of that country.
page 122 note k The group wanting here is ut, which occurs in inscription, Lepsius, Abth. iii. bl. 32, 1.21, as applied to the building of a wall. See also Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iii. bl. 29, d., “surrounding the gate of this temple with a wall laid n-utt with carved stone-work.” The determinative is two fingers, which also occurs after the word uttr or chetr, which has some such sense as to place, dispose.—See Archæologia, vol. xxxiv. p. 365, noteh.
page 123 note a (Fig. 24.) The king here is described as standing in his war-chariot, sab m shau nu-ru-a-sha “distinguished with his ornaments of ….” It occurs in another form (Lepsius, Auswahl, Taf. xii. 1), “their ornaments of ….” What this substance was is not known.—Select Papyri, xxiv. 1. 2.
page 123 note b (Fig. 25) rutai, add sen, “they;” probably λωωτε, to wound.—Cf. Champollion, Mon. p. 105.
page 123 note c (Fig. 26) chaa, , to leave, relinquish; here it is evident that the account, refers to the flight of the army.
page 123 note d The word athu is applied, Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iii. bl. 7, 1. 3a, to the “drawing” of the stone from the quarries by oxen. See also Champollion, Notice, p. 105; mn athu pt f m msh f m hk st, not drawing his bow to his troops, to the chiefs of countries. The word tb tb (fig. 27) seems here to mean “hauled, ” as it is said in the next line that the garrison let down their vesture, r tb tb, to haul them up to the fortress.
page 123 note e m, “in;” ta, “the;” at, “moment.” The last word is that in Lepsius, Einleit. s. 127.
page 123 note f Pechm chut f am sn, “his spirit prevailed over them;” or even, possibly, “the lustre of his diadem prevailed over them.”
page 123 note g Sgal m-sts: these two words are generally applied to burials; here, each has a man laid on his back as the determinative. The first group (fig. 136) s-gal has generally as determinative a man laid on a couch.—Bunsen, Egypt's Pl. p. 541–547; Champollion, Gr. p. 26, p. 426. The second (fig. 137) stsi is also generally used for the transport of the dead, Lepsius, Todt. taf. i. c. 1, horizontal line, “the commencement of the chapters of the procession on the day of transporting the beatified into Hades.” This has been read “manifestation to light, ” which is wrong, as hr, to come forth, has m’, from, and r’, to, after it.
page 124 note a Apparently utlb; see Lepsius, Ausw. taf. xii. 2: sha n utb, “food of …. for the army.”
page 124 note b Gal, “work, ” applied to carpentry and gems, M. De Rougé, Mém. p. 78, the work of the sun.
page 124 note c (Fig 28) menf, “soldiers, ” or “a division of troops.”—Champollion, Mon. t. ii. ccxviii.
page 124 note d M-shti, probably , shedah, the plain.—Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 573, No. 5; ibid. p. 561, No. 1, and p. 541, No. 53.
page 124 note e (Fig. 29) anhu is applied to driving or leading horses.—Select Papyri, xxiv. 9.
page 124 note f N shau sn bnr. The last has only its determinative.—Trans. Roy. Soc. Lit. vol. iv. p. 249, note 101.
page 124 note g Remains only … h of a verb.
page 124 note h M sbti nut, “in the wall placed;” the object below ought to be the tips of the two fingers. See note f. p. 123.
page 124 note i (Fig. 30) phonetically, anana.—Lepsius, Denkm. iii. bl. 10, a.e. (fig. 31.) It seems to mean the plain, cf. 1 31. The “amount of corn bought from the tract or plain, anana (fig. 30) of Megiddo was, ” &c.—Lepsius, Denkm. Abth. iii. Bl. 30, a.
page 124 note k Abb, to butt, to offend
page 124 note l Here the group for wood.—Champollion, Gr. Eg. p. 44, 203.
page 124 note m A doubtful group, mnna.
page 124 note n Although written hr arit n t.. r, it is necessary to correct to ark, roll, fold (fig. 32), , areg; the following word from the determinative of skin must be leather. Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 543, No. 72. ; and the obliterated hieroglyphic, is an h. See the leather thr, bucklers, and quivers, Lepsius, Abth. iii. bl. 64 a.
page 125 note a This group of the twisted cord and the block for stone is probably a variant of ges.—Champollion, Mon. t. iv. pl. cccxxii; ges-bakn, an earthenware altar, ges-mcht m gt ab nti put, “earthen vessels filled with oil of the daimons.”
page 125 note b Ta at Katu, the enemy of the Katu.
page 125 note c M. de Rougé, Rev. Arch. 1853, p. 679, reads went for “a galley, ” as “keeps the wicked of the Sun out of his boat or barge;” however, rather “sailing, ” sen ti; for on the Flaminian obelisk, sen-sen is “to sail.”—Tr. Roy. Soc. Lit. vol. ii. new series, pl. xli. The determinative boat generally, but not always, has the sails set. Champollion, Notice, p. 407, sm h au m sn ti, the boats watering and sailing.— Rosellini, m. c. civ. cv. 2, cvii.
page 125 note d (Fig. 33) abru or abelu, some animal, cattle, horses (?) There is an oil called abru.—Lepsius, Todt. lxii. 145, c. 19. Sel. Pap. xcviii. 1. 9, “the” chief abru of the Khita are mentioned with good bulls produced in Saenkar and other animals of Arsa. is a strong horse or bull.
page 125 note e (Fig 34) tbu, a box, . See 1. 33, probably some part of a chariot, as always mentioned with them and counted in as a part of them.
page 125 note f mss; Bunsen, Egypt's Place, p. 564, No. 13, determined by the skin. Ibid. p. 543, 1. 72, literally a good brass mess, “strap, ” “girdle, ” Coptic , “for fighting.”
page 125 note g Ucha bk m hut n amm, “poles plated with silver of a pavilion.” See Rosellini, M. R. cii.” in the fifth year, second expedition, then his majesty is in the pavilion.”
page 125 note h It is uncertain what hieroglyph comes after “goats, ” possibly ur, “great goats, ” or mut, “she-goats.”
page 125 note i Ami, “to them belonging.” See note e. p. 119. (Fig. 13.)
page 126 note a Mrui, perhaps “lords, ” mar, “to them belonging, ” ami.
page 126 note b Ch ft, “inclusive.” See note b. p. 118.
page 126 note c Hetpi am hrt n hkar, “those who gave up and came out through starvation.”
page 126 note d (Fig. 142) tt t, the determinative, is a dish or patera, bowls
page 126 note e (Fig. 79) un occurs as a measure of a quantity of bread; here an adjective after dish, “polished.”
page 126 note f (Fig. 35) akena, a two-handled cup. Judges, iv. 11, .
page 126 note g Sari, an ewer. Among the donations made by Thothmes III. to this temple, Charapollion, I. Mon. pl. xxxvi. is seen a silver sari or ewer.
page 126 note h s-sh, a ring (fig. 122). Vide Lepsius, Auswahl, Taf. xii. l. The expression here used coincides with that on the Lateran obelisk.—Ungarelli, Int. Ob. I. Mus. Class. Arch. iii. p. 217.
page 126 note i From the new value of this character, which was supposed to be as t. (Trans. Roy. Soc. Lit. vol. ii. p. 367), it appears that it must be read kat; probably κιτε, a drachm. The highest number mentioned is 15; if it be, mna is the mina or half talent, then the kat is the pound. The mina or mnah, which was of the talent, = 1 lb. 9 oz. Troy, or, taking gold· at 4l. per ounce, = 7l. sterling, for the gold mnah, and the silver mnah at 5l. 5s. nearly, which will convey some idea of the immense tribute to the empire. Hussey, Anc. Weights, p. 37.
page 126 note k (Fig. 36) masht [sh], m, “going waggons;” perhaps some article of furniture, such as high-backed chairs, which are found in the tribute of Æthiopia.
page 126 note l (Fig. 37) ss, some kind of tree or wood; the determinative being a pod like the mimosa. Tables were made of it. In Coptic there is , “cedar, ” and , “oak;” besides in Africa a wood called xesso wood. See Lepsius, Abth. II. bl. 75. snt, , the pine, or possibly acacia, so called by the Arabs, which this group may be, in which case ash is the cedar.
page 126 note m (Fig. 38) kna, a chair. The ritual of Penra.—Salt, Papyrus, B.M. 1251, calls that officer, hr, abu, kna, (fig. 39) “over the priests of the sella gestatoria.”
page 126 note n (Fig. 40) ht n sn ami, “the foot-stools to them belonging.” The water lines here are determinative of the sound , “scala nautica, ” or .
page 126 note o Ha m scher n karkar. See ha, “a stick, ” Lepsius, Todt. lxi. 145, c. 1. 4, in likeness of a karkar.—Champollion, Notice, p. 279, has the word karkaru as a standard with arms, and some uncertain object, perhaps a cylinder.
page 127 note a The plains.
page 127 note b auau, De Rougé, Mémoire, p. 132, “to infest,” here like , “a pledge.”
page 127 note c The hieroglyph here (fig. 30), Bunsen, Egypt, p. 551, No. 147, is determinative of several measures.
page 127 note d Chesbut is a blue gem, turquoise, lapis lazuli, or smalt.—M. de Rougé, Rév. Arch. 1853, p. 395.
page 127 note e Face, two semicircles and ring, probably refers to the material of which the vases were made; and here it is to be observed, that, although the genius of the language requires the adjective after the substantive, in certain cases, as when applied to precious metals, it is placed first.
page 127 note f Geru nu ru arshe. Cf. l. 14.
page 127 note g (Fig. 41), akat or kat, some metal or stone, perhaps the achat-es or agate, called , chadchod, by the Hebrews. Lepsius, iii. bl. 25, occurs as an edible fruit.
page 127 note h Tepa or tepau (fig. 42), or even perhaps , “the wind, ” or “to sniff.” Rosellini, M. R. lviii.
page 127 note i (Fig. 43), shai, determinative a finger, , to measure. See 1. 20, they measured, shau sn.
page 127 note j Knkn, “cover, ” bowls and covers.
page 127 note k (Fig. 44). Makarugina or kamarugina, some part of armour, an Aramæan word like Makatulu (migdol), Makaruta, Rosellini, M. R. lv.
page 127 note l Chener, or chenel, , a “helmet.” There is an animal called chener, but what is uncertain.
page 127 note m The here is “honey” or “sweet.”
page 128 note a Kat geru, bored or cut agates.
page 128 note b (Fig. 45), peska, logs, pascha, “to divide, ” wood chopped up and ready to burn.
page 128 note c Meskut. If this is not a bracelet as supposed (Trans. Roy. Soc. Lit. vol. ii. p. 326), it must be a collyrium pot.
page 128 note d Mska, a kind of stone; can it possibly be musk?
page 128 note e n-Machu, determined by a skin (fig. 46).
page 128 note f M-sshta, of the plains? Doubtful if to be distinguished from shta, space.—Champollion, Notice, p. 46, “his [the serpent's] head is in darkness, his tail in space, ” vacuum, (fig. 47).
page 128 note g Restore, shekaru or shakalu, a word very like “shekels, ” weights (fig. 48).
page 128 note h Nibi-kanaka (fig. 49).
page 128 note i Mrau, a kind of tree, possibly the morus, mulberry.
page 128 note j Mnnu, “a station.”—Archæol. XXXIV. pl. xxvii. p. 389.
page 128 note k Final part much mutilated, perhaps reading mena, shepherds.
page 128 note l Restore, as.t mnau uru n bak nb.—See Lepsius, Auswahl, taf. xii. l. 13.
page 128 note m Uah, to add.—M. de Rougé, Rév. Arch. 1849, p. 560.—“I gave in addition a festival for the victories.”
page 128 note n uah n n f chr a, the general rule of the syntax is that the nominative case is nearest the verb, the objective most remote; but there appears in this inscription to be a great ambiguity, as the sense requires that the gifts are from the King to the god, especially as Ammon is called “my father” (see 1. 7); whence I connect the first n with chr-a, and read uah n chr a n f, “I gave in addition to him, ” although following the strict syntax it could be read “he [Ammon] has given to me [the King]” throughout. See also the resolution of this group in 1. 12, “I will order to him,” 1. 13, “I have given him.”

page 146 note b The phrase at the commencement of this formula, reading directly su ma hep. t or ma sutn hep. t has its difficulties.
