Now, if Mr. Champollion had attended to my expressions, he must have perceived that it was _not_ by any _resemblance_ of an imaginary nature that I was “led to recognise the name of Berenice;” but by external evidence only. “The appellation SOTERES,” I have observed, Art. 57, “as a dual, is well marked in the inscription of Rosetta, and the character, thus determined, explains a long name in the temple at Edfou ... 58. The wife of Ptolemy Soter, and mother of Philadelphus, was BERENICE, whose name is found on a ceiling at KARNAK, in the phrase, “Ptolemy and ... Berenice, the _saviour gods_.” In this name we appear to have another specimen of syllabic _and alphabetical_ writing combined, in a manner not extremely unlike the ludicrous mixtures of words and things with which children are sometimes amused; for however Warburton’s indignation might be excited by such a comparison, it is perfectly true that, occasionally, “the sublime differs from the ridiculous by a single step only.” ... I have then proceeded to state, as conjectural _inferences_, the syllabic analogies: but instead of _four_ letters which Mr. Champollion is pleased to allow me, I have marked, in a subsequent chapter of this Essay, _nine_, which I have actually specified in different parts of my paper in the Supplement: and to these he has certainly added _three_ new ones; or _four_, if he chooses to reckon the E as a fourth. I allow that I suspected the B, the L, and the S, to be sometimes used syllabically: but the analogy of these characters with the enchorial alphabet was so well marked, that my attempt to refine upon it could not easily have embarrassed any one in making the application. Mr. Champollion has never been led, in any one instance, from the Egyptian name of an object, to infer the phonetic interpretation, that is, the alphabetical power of its symbol: but the letters having once been ascertained, he has ransacked his memory or his dictionary for some name that he thought capable of being applied to the symbol: and not always, as it appears to me, in the most natural manner: I should prefer, for instance, the word HRERI, a flower, as making the R, to the name of pomegranate, which, it seems, was sometimes called ROMAN or ERMAN. I must also observe that my intention, in placing the Coptic names in my vocabulary of hieroglyphics, was to assist in tracing any such analogies that might suggest themselves: and in the instance of AM or EM, N. 123, the reading approaches very near to one of the letters, added by Mr. Champollion to my alphabet.
