⁂⁂ in cursive writing might be mistaken for ⁂⁂ or for
  ⁂⁂, and the scribe, to show his learning, might interpolate
  the ⁂, but even this might be an error for ⁂.

Footnote 129:

  The determinatives in ⁂⁂, ⁂⁂, express the sense of
  _division_, διαμελισμός, and the insect (a scolopendron) in ⁂⁂
  exhibits the very notion which has given rise to the Latin _insecta_
  and the Greek ἔντομον

Footnote 130:

  For more particular details, see P.S.B.A., viii, p. 245, and
  following.

Footnote 131:

  Ἀκούειν τι τοῦ λόγου, παρακούειν δε: _Ethic. Nich._, viii. 7.

Footnote 132:

  There is no such god as _Min_ or _Minu_, except as an abbreviated (or
  perhaps primitive) _orthographic_ form of _Amon_. ⁂⁂⁂ and
  ⁂⁂ bear to ⁂⁂⁂ exactly the same relationship
  that ⁂⁂, ⁂⁂, ⁂⁂⁂, have to
  ⁂⁂⁂, ⁂⁂⁂ and ⁂⁂⁂⁂.

  Neither _Amen_ nor the shorter form can be the phonetic equivalent of
  ⁂. The image of Horus with the Flail at Edfu is described (J. de
  Rougé, pl. C. III) as ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, _Horus as
  Amsu-Amen_, and I have elsewhere quoted from _Tempel insch._, I, 32,
  the ⁂⁂⁂ _Amsu- Men_ [or _Amen_] as well as ⁂⁂
  _Amsu Horus_.

Footnote 133:

  The Luynes papyrus reads ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, which affords
  good reason for thinking that in Chapter 115, as elsewhere, ⁂
  was originally written without its phonetic value.

Footnote 134:
