A High Priest of Ptah of Memphis, named Ptahmes, in the early part of the eighteenth dynasty, who was President of these six Courts,[126] has left a very remarkable attestation relative to the 24th Precept, on a beautiful scribe’s palette in basalt (Louvre, _Inv._, 3026). The inscription, after saying that the whole country was subject to the jurisdiction of Ptahmes, proceeds ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. “He turned not a deaf ear to the truth, through the terrors of his Eye;” that is, “the terrors of his Eye” were not used for the perversion of Justice. But what is meant by his “Eye”? M. Pierret (in his _Inscr. inédites du Louvre_, pt. 1, p. 96) suggested the ‘Eye of Horus.’ I think it has reference to the position of Ptahmes as ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. He was ‘the King’s Eye,’ ὁ βασιλέως ὀφθαλμός,[127] and had in consequence, an unlimited power of defeating justice had he been so inclined. It is only by a blunder[128] that the papyrus of Ani makes ⁂⁂⁂⁂ (the nineteenth Nome of Upper Egypt) the scene of the divine Babe’s manifestation, which is unquestionably Heliopolis. The name of the Nome has numerous variants, but they always consist of two signs, _a crooked staff_ (⁂, ⁂, ⁂, ⁂) either double or with _a twisted cord_ (⁂, ⁂, ⁂, ⁂), and the final sound of the name (when expressed) is in ⁂, ⁂. The key to the phonetic reading of the name of the Heliopolitan Nome is to be found in the inscription at Edfu (J. de Rougé, _Edfou_, pl. 46); ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. Here the _crook_ of the name is identified with the _crook_ and _flail_ ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _ams_, ⁂⁂⁂ _ȧms_, ⁂⁂⁂ or ⁂⁂⁂ _emsit_ of Osiris, who is called in the Book of the Dead (_Todt._, 142, 9) ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, _the August Dismembered[129] one of the Powers of Annu_. And this is how, in the important papyrus _Pc_, we find ⁂⁂⁂ in Ch. 17 as the equivalent of ⁂⁂⁂⁂, a few words after, in the same papyrus. Both groups are to be read _ȧmsu_; which means _furnished with the crook_ (_or sceptre_) _and flail_, ⁂⁂ or ⁂.[130] 22. _Hot of foot_ ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. The Coptic ⲟⲩⲉⲙϩⲏⲧ, _poenitentiam agere_, would be the natural representative of ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, but the meanings of the terms cannot be the same. The latter is expressive of a passion, the indulgence in which may be laudable in the gods and yet blameworthy in men. For the divine wrath is necessarily just; whereas human anger, even when it seems to listen to reason, listens, as the philosopher says, but imperfectly.[131] The 29th god, _Kenemta_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, has also for determinative the sign ⁂ of a cynocephalus. This is explained by his identity with the constellation which occupies the whole month of Thoth in the list of the Decans. But though the name means ‘_in Ape form_,’ the word ⁂⁂⁂ in the Pyramid Texts (Pepi i, 408, and Merira 579) is used in the sense of ‘vested,’ ‘clad,’ perhaps simply ‘covered.’
