[81] On the 7th Epiphi of the tenth year of Ptolemy III. the ceremony of the stretching off the cord took place. Dümichen, _Aeg. Zeit._, 2, 1872, p. 41. [82] _Op. cit._, p. 37. [83] Dümichen, "Bauurkunde der Tempelanlagen von Dendera," p. 20. [84] Brugsch thus translates one of the inscriptions:--"Horus in weiblicher Gestalt ist die Fürstin, die Mächtige, die Thronfolgerin und Tochter eines Thronfolger. Ein fliegender Käfer wild (sie?) geboren am Himmel in der uranfänglichen Stadt (Denderah) zur Zeit der Nacht des Kindes in seiner Wiege. Es strahlt die Sonne am Himmel in der Dämmerung, wann ihre Geburt vollbracht wird." Brugsch, "Astron. Inscript.," p. 97. [85] In this and the following tables the dates connected with the heights of hills where they are known are given in heavy type. Where the local conditions are unknown, hills 1° high have been assumed. [86] With regard to the temple A of Lepsius, it may be stated that in the time of the Ptolemies it received considerable and curious enlargements and embellishments which make it unique among Egyptian temples. [87] Baedeker, "Ober-Aegypten," p. 320. [88] New Gîzeh Catalogue, p. 61. [89] Brugsch, "Religion und Mythologie," p. 111. Pierret, "Salle Historique de la Galerie Égyptienne" (du Louvre), p. 199. [90] "Notices des Principaux Monuments Exposés au Musée de Gîzeh," p. 260. (1893.) [91] The little temple of Isis at Pompeii and the associated frescoes in the Naples Museum are well worth careful study, especially with regard to the arrangements made for the stellar observations (and their final stoppage by the drastic proceeding referred to in the text), and the evolution of Horus in Greek times. The Hippopotami are most carefully drawn. [92] Gîzeh Catalogue, 1893, p. 63. [93] Professor Flinders Petrie has been good enough to send me his recent measurements. They justify those obtained from Lepsius' plan. [94] Brugsch, "Egypt," 1891, p. 220. [95] Ebers and Dümichen, in Baedeker's "Ober-Aegypten," p. 59. [96] _Op. cit._, p. 21. [97] That is, if we take the temple as oriented originally to α Ursæ Majoris. [98] No sun temple is closely associated with the Set temples either at Luxor or Abydos, and one on the Annu model would not be so associated, for a right angle would carry its axis outside the ecliptic limits. [99] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 64. [100] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 44, note. [101] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 64. [102] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 46. [103] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 41. [104] "Bubastis," preface, p. iv. [105] There are, however, notable exceptions to this rule, which will be discussed further on. [106] "Mêdûm," chap. i. [107] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 59. [108] Further, it is known that there was some connection between Pepi-Meri-Rā and the eleventh dynasty of Thebes. Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 91. And it must also be mentioned that in the later pyramids "texts" are introduced. [109] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 112. [110] Maspero, _op. cit._, p. 112.
