following the two baskets ^^ ^^ ; i.e., the title

4. The Horus name of a king ^^1 , no doubt
reading Z't, "the Snake," not merely '/. This
fuller value of the sign is found as late as the
Pyramid texts of the Vlth Dynasty. In Hiero-
glyphs, p. 24, I have suggested that the zet
snake is the Echis or viper: but on the tablet
of Menes | replaces ^, the cobra Avith dis-
tended hood. | therefore probably represents
the cobra, and this agrees with the drift of
Horapollo's statement (i. 1) that the uraeus was
immortal, eternity being likewise represented
in hieroglyphics by the same word and sign,

Memphis, p. 22.
This is a beautiful specimen of linear en-
graving. It shows the hawk of Horns perched
upon an enclosure with towers in the facade
(i.e., the palace), the hieroglyph composing the
name being represented above the facade, i.e.,
either as actually over it, or more probably as
in the interior of the enclosure. A king is some-
times described as ^„| "the Horus in
the midst of the palace" (Siut, tomb i., 1. 220).
This hieroglyphic figure of the palace, as intended
to bear or enclose the royal name, is termed in
Egyptian

s'rh, meaning "that which
proclaims, makes known " ; and at the king's
accession his "hawk" is said to "manifest itself
upon the s'rh for ever." We may contrast with
this example the treatment of the same thing in
the very old inscriptions of Nar-mer and Mcna
(ISTos. 1, 2), where the form of the design sIioavs
it to have been still more or less elastic. The
symbols of Mena's name are put in the talons of
the hawk, and the second symbol of that of
Nar-mer is thrust down between the towers of
the facade. But soon the style became abso-
lutely fixed ; the hawk is perched on the edge,
and the signs are placed in a clear rectangle
drawn above the facade.
