Since this was written, a study of the inscription on this scarab has been published by Steindorff, from my copy of the Alnwick specimen, in _Ä.Z._, XXXIX, 62. Footnote 135: The Vatican specimen gives _kher hen ne Heru_ for the abbreviated _kher Heru_ on the Alnwick example. Footnote 136: The Vatican scarab gives the determinative of land (the triangle) in the place of the _t_ on the Alnwick specimen. Footnote 137: A mis-reading (Zaru) of this place-name has led to the identification of the city with Zaru or Zal (perhaps the modern Sele), the eastern frontier fort of Egypt. Prof. Breasted, Prof. Steindorff, and the writer, however, all came independently to the conclusion that Zarukha must be the name of the palace-town of Amenophis III and Thŷi, which is situated a little to the south of Medinet Habu; the lake mentioned on this scarab is therefore to be identified with the modern Birket Habu. Footnote 138: The numerals given on the Vatican scarab are blundered, and consequently difficult to read. Footnote 139: Read _tahen_, not _neferu_; this is clear on the Vatican specimen. An officer of this boat is mentioned on a stela in the Egyptian Museum of the Louvre (C. 207). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ● Transcriber’s Notes: ○ On page 5 the Arabic خَاتَمٌ is “khatam” not “khatim,” as described; the latter would be خَاتِمٌ. Both, however, may mean a ring or signet. ○ Links were added from the LIST OF PLATES to each individual plate. ○ The footnotes were gathered and moved to a separate section of the book (see Footnotes.) ○ On page 51 there were two sidenotes for “Class II”. The second was changed to “Class III.” ○ Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected. ○ Typographical errors were silently corrected. ○ Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only when a predominant form was found in this book. ○ Text that was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_).
