1. 1. There seem to be traces of writing above this line, at least towards
the left end: compare the top line in Col. VIII. Lines 1 and 2 are
probably to be read in 1. 3, before ' thou goest to a dark niche,' the
phrase with which 1. 2 ends.
Read e-hr-k (or e zz-k as in 1. 32 ?) st e mhty.
mhty, a word occurring as early as the time of Darius, possibly
arising from a confusion of the words mht, 'north/ and hty, ' go north.'
An instance of careless confusion of h and h by our scribe, due to both
being g, e.g. in Sah., occurs in 21/12, but is on a different footing.

sponds to dpKTovpos in Job ix. 9 (cf. also Zoega, 650). But in the astro-
nomical texts hps as consisting of seven stars evidently is apmos itself
(Brugsch, Thes., 123, Aegyptol., 343).
