  Milchhöfer, _Die Anfänge der Kunst_, p. 16 _et seqq._; Petrie,
  _Egyptian Decorative Art_, p. 29.; Much, _Die Kupferzeit_, p. 55;
  Hall, _The Oldest Civilization of Greece_, p. 157; A. C. Haddon,
  _Evolution in Art_, p. 141. Dr. Arthur Evans, on the contrary,
  believes that the spiral was first used in stonework, and only at a
  later date transferred to metal and other materials (_Journal of
  Hellenic Studies_, Vol. XIII, p. 329).

Footnote 119:

  Petrie, _Egyptian Decorative Art_, p. 22.

Footnote 120:

  Among the jewellry discovered by M. de Morgan at Dahshûr (_temp._
  Usertsen II) was an exquisite gold ring (certainly _not_ of Egyptian
  manufacture), with two spirals worked on its bezel in gold wire-work.
  (See De Morgan, _Dahchour_, I, p. 68, fig. 145.) In the Ashmolean
  Museum is a black ware vase from Egypt of the style characteristic of
  the late Twelfth Dynasty deposits, which has a punctuated returning
  spiral ornament round the upper part of its body.

  Studies_, Vol. XIV, p. 328. _Cf._ G. Coffey, _The Origins of
  Prehistoric Ornament in Ireland_, in _Journal of the Royal Society of
  Antiquaries of Ireland_, 1894, 1895; and A. C. Haddon, _Evolution in
  Art_, p. 142. J. Romilly Allen, _Celtic Art in Pagan and Christian
  Times_, pp. 51-54.

Footnote 122:

  On this place-name, see p. 172, note 1.

Footnote 123:

  An asterisk prefixed to these descriptions means an _ancient_
  clay-impression or “sealing,” not an actual cylinder.

Footnote 124:

  A cylinder-seal of “Amenemhat, beloved of Sebek, Lord of Anu,” is in
  the H.-P. Collection (_Cat._ 3813).

Footnote 125:

  Nub-hetep-tha-Khred was a daughter of Amenemhat III. (De Morgan,
  _Dahchour_, I, p. 128.)

Footnote 126:

  On this title, see Newberry, _El Bersheh_, I, p. 8, note 3.

Footnote 127:

  _I.e._, the Judge or Chief Justice. See my _Life of Rekhmara_, p. 18.

Footnote 128:

  The rings, scarabs, etc., figured from the tomb of Maket have been
  drawn from Prof. Petrie’s _Illahun_, pl. XXVI.

Footnote 129:

  This is probably the same place-name as the Kerŷ mentioned in the tomb
  of Hûŷ at Thebes as the southern boundary of Kush (Ethiopia) at the
  time of King Tût-ankh-amen (see Pl. II). It was almost certainly the
  modern Gebel Barkal.
