THE MASTABA OF l'TAHHETEl' AND AKHETHETEI'

leopard" (cf. leo-pardus)—see also Spiegelberg,
Bee. de Trav., xvii. 96; but apparently this
name was not applied to living animals before
the Roman period, when, in demotic, it indicates
an animal (leopard ?) associated with lions as a
furious wild beast. Perhaps the close-maned
lion was thought to be a different species from
the great royal lion m . In Tdtb. there is a
deity " &Jj\, presumably imagined in lion form
and reading Rtc.

Another word-sign or phonetic value is cr,
crr; Br., Wtb., 205, cruotes cr as a name of the
lion, but the reference given is not intelligible.

door (Una, 11. 7, 39) read c rrwt, crwt (?); cf.

perhaps the entrance was guarded by lion-
figures. In M.K. the word was commonly
written ^ Iff^ (M- Muller, A.Z., 1888, 90).
This value seems confined to the root crrw't,
crry't, which in Pyr. and later is often crwt,
cryt; in N.K., however, we have V, " reed-pen,"
perhaps so spelt in Mai;., Ah., i. 31a, unless the
lion be here simply nr, j£^ was often con-
founded with t^ in -^ V, "granary," through

in

similarity in the hieratic forms and in the

sounds, also with

" stop," " prevent "

(/■. Medum, Pis. xii., xv.), through the hieratic
and some connexion of idea.

"^5^ Anubis animal, standing, coloured black :
fig. 63, Pth., xxxiii., col. 8. Name -*-\ J ,
"wise" (not ions, "jackal"), Pyr. P. 451;
with rad. ext. It is among the non-mythical
animals in 11. II., II., PL iv. In spite of its
black colour and excessively slender propor-
tions, the evidence seems to identify it with the
canis niloticus, or Egyptian fox, and with no
other Egyptian animal now extant can it be
identified.

3>=zk the same animal recumbent, as if on a
rock or raised platform (after O.K. usually on

the sign of a chapel f^7\), its tail hanging down.

m.

coloured black (as Medum, PI. xiii., L., D., ii.
20, 58): fig. 61, Pth., xxxix., left, 1. Word-sign
for I) r~A n ^> Ynjp'w, the name of Anubis, god
of burial. In somewhat " sportive " hieroglyphs
(II. II., I., xvii. top left, xxxii. top left, &c.)
word-sign for hry .sv>7J, "he who is over the
secrets."

iSsu (Hier., p. 10); desert hare: fig. 62,
Pth., xxxii. 3; fig. 65, ib., xxxix., left, 3.

v5p bull on sacred perch (liter., p. 58),
before it fish-skin km (liter., p. 23): fig. 79,
Pth., xxxiv. 1, cf. xxxv. 2. Perhaps reads
/»;J Jem, "black bull." Word-sign for name of
Athribite nome, the Xth of Lower Egypt.

The same, with sickle-shaped object before
it: fig. 77, Pth., xxxv. 2. Many poor examples
in AJcJit, in which the object in front is less
definite and without indentation at base. As
the O.K. form of the sign for the Vlth nome of
Lower Egypt is known as ct^ from Methen,
the present one may possibly correspond to
H^ of the Ptolemaic nome-list as the name of
the Xlth nome of Lower Egypt.

* ^1 le<l ox? hornless, with leading cord
round its lower jaw, the same (?) cord being also
passed many times round its neck : fig. 69, Pth.,
xxxi. 3. Dot. (xxxi. 2) and apparently word-
sign for yw\ "fat cattle."

Calf with legs tied for slaughter, lead-
ing cord round neck, short tail : fig. 73,
Pth., xli. 24. Part of dot. to stp't, "choice
viands."

Cow on sacred perch (Hier., p. 58), young
animal in front: fig. 66, Pth. xxxiv. top.
The young animal may be its calf, or may
indicate yior, "conception." Id. of Sebennyte
nome, Xllth of Lower Egypt.
