out by Bkugsch, v. P. S. II. A., 1899, 269-70.
Its use in Ptli. is restricted, as generally in the
O.K. ; it is word-sign for " , xxxiii. 6, and
det. to (irrf) mdtr, "order," xxxi.-xxxiii., cols.
3, 4, and to j\ ^K ^^ "tribute" (registered).

2. The board is generally green with black
lines, sometimes red with black lines; the
smaller men are generally green. The number
of divisions is usually 3x11, but sometimes
3 X 12 or 13.

Vth., xxxix., left, 2—blue. Cf. Borciiardt,
A. Z., 1899, p. 82, for additional evidence that
it is a mallet, the value hn being connected
with a word hn used of beating with a
mallet.
8 {Bier., p. 57) ; seMem-scepfcre : fig. 360,
Pth., xxxi., col. 4. It is adorned with many
bands of colour, which in Akhethetep seem to be
blue, red, blue, green, with green papyrus head.
The reading hrp still requires further proof; it
is at any rate confined to titles. One may com-
pare jj^> j {El. II., I., xiv., 1. 3), corresponding
n {Kah. I*'ip., xv. 15, &c).
to the title
In S D A L
D
(quoted Bier., p. 58) hrp is
verb in infinitive rather than a title.
Q {Bier., p. 58); cylinder seal: fig. 354,
AIM.,with curved loop; fig. 356, Pth., xxxiii.
3, witli upright loop. In another example in
Ptahhetep the knot is blue, also the central
band of the cylinder; the rest of the cylinder is
apparently red.

Pth., xxxiii. 7.
t [Pier., p. 59) ; tm.s'-sceptre (with head of
Set-animal (?), Maspero) with loop at top, as
name of Thebes : fig. 257. Demotic variants
{Bhind bit., no. 417) show that its root ter-
minated with s, and its confusion with ws{r)
in demotic shows that it read approximately
ws: thus it evidently has the same value as
?«J.s% with the fern, ending, and the name of the
city and nome was W°s't. Cf. also the spelling
on a stela of the XXth Dyn. in Sethe, Verbum,
i. 142.

red and green alternating (P).

Pth., xxxii. 4 ; in Akhethetep blue.
*$ sJ-loop : fig. 353, Pth., xxxviii. 1. Varies
with <=m° (Bier., p. 45) ; rare in O.K. except in
proper names and cartouches. It is apparently
part of the outfit of marsh men, carried on stick
over shoulder in Akht. An early bronze amulet
of this form is figured in El Kith, PI. v. 5.

edge ; fig. 395, Akht.—rectangular. Xearly
always slightly tapering in Ptahhetep. If this
represents a wedge in different aspects it would
imply "straightening," "adjusting."
