[Illustration: 𓅃𓇴𓐰𓋹𓉘𓐼𓊹𓆣𓅱𓐽𓊂] The Horus name is sometimes called the “banner name”; the _serekh_, however, is not a banner, but a representation of a building of a funerary character. Nebti name, NETER MESTU 𓅒𓊹𓄠𓅱𓐴𓏏. Horus of gold name, ĀNKH KHEPER 𓅉𓋹𓆣. Suten Bȧt name, KHĀ-KAU-RĀ 𓆥𓍹𓐼𓇳𓈍𓂓𓂓𓂓𓐽𓍺. Son of Rā name, USERTSEN 𓅭𓐴𓇳𓍹𓐼𓄊𓋴𓂋𓐰𓏏𓊃𓐰𓈖𓐽𓍺. The oval in which the fourth and fifth names are placed, 𓍷, is called in Egyptian _Shennu_, and is commonly known as the “cartouche.” It was originally circular in form, 𓍶, like a signet ring, and Besh, a king of the IInd dynasty, appears to have been the first to use the cartouche. Another common title of the king was PER-ĀA 𓉐𓐰𓉻, _i.e._, “Great House,” meaning the “house in which all men live,” or the “Asylum of the Universe,” “Sublime Porte,” etc., which we find in the Bible under the form of “Pharaoh.” The king being god never died, and he owed the property of immortality which he possessed to the “fluid of life” 𓎃𓈖𓋹, _sa en ānkh_, which he obtained from Rā before his birth, for the god was believed to become incarnate from time to time, and to consort with queen after queen, so that his son might always sit on the throne of Egypt. The statues of Rā, being inhabited by his doubles, were endowed with the “fluid of life,” and this they transmitted to their human counterpart, the king, by resting their hands upon his head, or by drawing them over the back of his head and down his back. The king performed the ceremonies of the “divine cult” daily, and as a result he drew from the god each day a new supply of the “fluid of life,” which justified him in adopting the title “Endowed with life, like Rā, for ever,” 𓏙𓋹𓇳𓐰𓏤𓏇𓆓𓐳𓐷𓏏𓐰𓇾𓐸. The =Queen= was called either the “woman of the god,” 𓊹𓈞𓐰𓏏, or the “woman of the king,” 𓇓𓈞𓐰𓏏, but she possessed several other titles.
