EOYAL TOMBS OF THE 1st DYNASTY.
PI. xxi. 24, 25. Titles with the name (?)
26. The Horus name Den and ^^sl fi (?).
27. Q <§ O " overseer, the middle," cf. xxiv.
44, &c. In the sign of the heart its vessels
are shown much more prominently at this time
than later.
28. The name y<» Ka-sa, cf. xvi. 19,
accompanied by a title I "* " (?), " eyes of the
king (?)."
29. The name (?) (1 s=> Ath, accompanied by
vTj © (?), Ankh-ka, perhaps a city name : the last
sign, which occurs so commonly in these groups,
may be d, perhaps as a word-sign. Two vases in
a rectangle, with ? hz sometimes inside, some-
times outside, reading Pr-hz . . . . ; cf. note
to 35.
30. The same name with J'. © Senh-ka (?),
<=> and ® *,°l (?).
31. Here we may perhaps recognise a vine-
trellis, Avith other signs.

"wine-press of the West in the nomes of the

the importance of the Saite nome at this period,
see the note to pi. i.

of Merpaba, followed by containing the same
title with Her-pa-ua (?), as in the inscriptions of
Qa-a, ix. 3, &c, and ¥ |q, i.e., probably l/'t,
"tomb." The one-barbed hook or harpoon-
head, possibly wc, " one " (Hieroglyph*, p. 52),
or ds, "blade" (ib., p. 50, L. D., ii. 13), is
similar to that which is figured in the talons
