UNPLACED KINGS.
The names in Plate III, (Plate Vol the Materia Hiero-
glyphica), are of kings the order of whose suecession is
doubtful, and who cannot thereforebe arranged in any list, like
those before given. I shall make but few remarks on them
here. The name O is probably of Uchoreus, or Ocaras ;
it may be easily mistaken for that of Acoris of the 29th
dynasty, but as 1 have been assured by Lord Prudhoe and
Major Felix (to whose kindness I am indebted for several
names in this plate) that it is found beneath that of Reme-
ses-mi-Amun, at El Hegs, this monarch mu6t be at least
anterior to the 18th dynasty ; it is also found in the quarries
of Gebel Mali6ara.
U. W. This king is posterior, at all events, to Thoth-
mes IV; and the costumes of the soldiers, who are repre-
sented attending this king, in the sculptured grottoes of
Til-el-Auiarna (from which these names are taken) are of
a very old style. The form of the figures, ahd the designs
are different from those in any of the ruins, or grottoes of
Egypt. (1) The king is here introduced, making offerings
to the sun itself, (2) which showers down rays, terminated
by human hands, one of which gives the symbol of " life"
to the king, over whom are the four first ovals. These
grottoes i had the good fortune first to notice, on my way
(1) Except at Gebel Tootia to the west of Oshmooneio, where the same
king, and similar sculptures are represented on the face of the rock; and in
some ruins close to Qoos. I since hear of these names being found at Abydus.
(2) Called Atinrc. If Animiti signifies " receiver and giver," Atinrc
may be the *' giving," as Anuinrc the " receiving sun."
