The “Travels of an Egyptian” has first been translated into English by M. C. W. Goodwin (“Cambridge Essays,” 1858, p. 267-269), from a hieratic papyrus in the British Museum, published in fac-simile by the trustees (Fo. 1842, pl. 35-61). In 1866, M. F. Chabas, availing himself of the collaboration of M. Goodwin, published a full translation of the same in French (“_Voyage d’un Egyptien en Syrie, en Phenicie_,” etc., 4to, 1866), including a copy of the hieratic text with a double transcription into hieroglyphic and Coptic types, and a perpetual commentary. Objections were made by M. H. Brugsch (“_Revue Critique_,” Paris, 1868, _Août et Septembre)._ But M. Chabas strongly vindicated his views in an additional work, “_Voyage d’un Egyptien—Réponse à la Critique_,” Châlons, 1868, 4to, since which the matter seems to be settled among Egyptologists. The debate was, however, unimportant in regard to geographical information, as it bore merely on the point to ascertain whether the narrative refers to an actual journey really effected by the Egyptian officer named a Mohar, or a model narrative of a supposed voyage drawn from a previous relation of a similar trip extant at the time. TRAVELS OF AN EGYPTIAN _Section 1_ 18.3 Thy letter which is full of _lacunæ_ is loaded with pretentious expressions: such is the retribution of those who wish to understand it; it is a charge 18.4 which thou hast charged at thy will. “I am a scribe, a Mohar,” hast thou repeated: let us respect thy word and set off. 18.5 Thou hast put horses to the chariots; thy horses are as swift as jackals: their eyes flash; they are like a hurricane bursting; thou takest 18.6 the reins, seizest the bow: we contemplate the deeds of thy hand. I send thee back the Mohar’s portrait: and make thee know 18.7 his actions. Didst thou not then go to the country of the Kheta? Hast thou not seen the land of Aup? Knowest thou not Khatuma, Ikatai 18.8 likewise? how is it? The Tsor of Sesortris, the city of Khaleb on its vicinity?— 19.1 How goes it with its ford? Hast thou not made an expedition to Qodesh and Tubakkhi? Hast thou not gone to the Shasous? 19.2 with the auxiliary body? Hast thou not trampled the road of Pamakar the sky(459) was dark on the day when 19.3 there flourished the cypresses, the oaks and cedars, which reached up to heaven: there are many lions, wolves, and hyenas 19.4 which the Shasous track on all sides. Didst thou not ascend the mountain of Shaoua? Hast thou not travelled, thy arms 19.5 placed on the back of thy car separated from its harness by the horses drawing it? 19.6 Oh! come to ... barta. Thou hastenest to get there: thou crossest 19.7 its ford. Thou seest a Mohar’s trials. Thy car 19.8 is placed in thy hand: thy strength fails. Thou arrivest at the night: all thy limbs 19.9 are knocked up: thy bones are broken, thou fallest asleep from excess of somnolence: thou wakest up—
