FOOTNOTES
-----
Footnote 1:
The reader must understand, however, that not _all_ Egyptian scarabs
were used as seals. Some, but a very small number compared to the seal
class, were used as amulets, and a few, like medals, were cut to
commemorate historical events. The amulet class will be dealt with in
another volume; the medal-like series is included in the present work
(see pp. 170-178.)
Footnote 2:
[Egyptian **] _khetem_, “a seal,” [Egyptian **] _khetem_, “to close,”
or “to seal up.” In Hebrew the word is חֹתָם, which survives in the
Arabic, [Arabic **] _khatim_, “a signet,” or “signet ring.” The
determinatives [Egyptian **] and [Egyptian **] represent a
cylinder-seal, with string for suspension; Petrie, _Medûm_, p. 33;
_cf._ p. 45, figs. 18, 19, of this volume, and Griffith, _Beni Hasan_,
III, p. 15. The intermediate form between these two signs is found in
sculptures in the tomb of Tahutihetep at Bersheh (Newberry, _El
Bersheh_, I, Pl. XX).
