9. _The manors of the gods_, ⁂⁂⁂. I understand ⁂⁂ as property acquired by royal grant. Aâhmes at El Kab says that he has _acquired_ (⁂⁂⁂⁂) much land through the royal bounty. The deceased in the later copies of the Book of the Dead (Ch. 1, 24), acquires the allotment of land, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, in the Garden of Aarru, and Ani (Pl. III) acquires “a permanent allotment (⁂⁂⁂) in the Garden of Hotepit like the followers of Horus.” 10. _Ponds._ The right reading is ⁂⁂⁂, as Birch already noted in his _Dictionary_, from the excellent papyrus _Ao_ of the XVIIIth dynasty. Hieratic papyri also give the determinative ⁂. The determinative ⁂ which some of the papyri give to the word, and which is a self-evident blunder, is probably copied either from ⁂, or from ⁂. The sign ⁂, and a man striking with an instrument, which also occur, are mere symbols of the operation by which either _quarries_, or _ponds_, are _cut_. 11. _Thou of the Nose_, or rather _Beak_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂, in allusion to one of the chief characteristic features of the Ibis god (πρόσωπον ἐς τὰ μάλιστα ἐπίγρυπον; _Herodotus_, II, 76, in his description of the bird). Thoth, the god of Chemunnu, is meant by this appellative. He is so called, ⁂⁂⁂, on the statue of the King Horus in the Museum of Turin (l. 8), and ⁂⁂⁂ on the very much more ancient altar, of the VIth dynasty, belonging to the same museum. The same appellative[121] is found in the list of gods upon each of the Memphite cubits described by Lepsius.[122] 12. _Eater of the Shadow._ The Demotic version interprets this of “his own shadow.” I am rather inclined to interpret it by “the gnomons which were without shadows at noon,” and the “well of Syene” (Strabo, 817) at the Summer Solstice; when the Sun was vertical. 13. _Thou of Lion form_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂. The Demotic has “Shu and Tefnut.” But as there are only forty-two gods in all, we must here think of a single god with a lion’s head, as in such pictures as _Wilkinson_, III, Pl. XLIX; _Denkm._, III, 276, and many sarcophagi (_e.g._, Leemans, _Mon._, III, L, Pl. III). Even some of the Theban papyri have two divinities by way of determinatives to the group. 14. _Sluggish_, ⁂⁂⁂; ⁂⁂⁂⁂, ⁂⁂⁂⁂, _sluggishness_. Coptic ϭⲛⲁⲩ. See my note (_Proc. Soc. Bib. Arch._, XI, p. 76) on the Inscription of Kum el Ahmar. There are however other readings; none of them apparently of any value. 15. _Thou of the Bright Teeth_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. The Demotic equivalent is, “who openeth his teeth,” and so exhibits their brightness. 16. _Âati_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, a name about which the copyists have bungled. It is one of the names of Râ in the Solar Litany, where it appears (l. 23) as ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, or ⁂⁂. Whether applied to the Sun, to the Fish of the name, or to a Ship, the name means _Cutter_, ‘that which cleaves’ its way.
