But the Pyramids of Teta (l. 281) and Pepi (l. 131) say, “Horus openeth for thee thine Eye that thou mayest see with _it_ in _its_ name _Ap-uat_.” Each of the Eyes of Osiris is Ap-uat, one of them is the Southern and the other is the Northern Jackal. These two facing each other form part of the symbolism explained in Note 2 upon Chapter 125. The figure of the Jackal is wholly insufficient as an argument that Ap-uat is identical with Anubis. Much better evidence is found in the fact that the name of Anubis is sometimes written over the figure.[141] But the true explanation of this is, what might have seemed incredible to some of our older scholars, that Anubis is itself only one of the names of Osiris. The Pyramids of Pepi I (line 474 and following) and Pepi II (l. 1262 and following) give imaginary etymologies of certain names of Osiris which are repeated in the inscriptions of the tomb of Horhotep, published by M. Maspero (_Miss. Arch._, I, 260). One of these names is ⁂⁂, which is said to be derived from ⁂, “pass thou over to me.” The next is ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _Anpu_, which is derived from ⁂⁂! The true meaning of ⁂⁂⁂ is not _jackal_, but _whelp_; the fierce young of an animal; not only of jackals or lions but of men, kings or gods, ⁂⁂⁂. Thus Orestes speaks (Eur., _Orest._, 1) of σκύμνον ἀνοσίου πατρός, and the Chorus of another play talks of the reception of τὸν Ἀχίλλειον σκύμνον (_Andr._, 1170). And Shakespeare speaks of “the young whelp of Talbot’s raging brood.” 9. _Pedestal_, ⁂⁂⁂; the _stand_ upon which the images or emblems of the god were carried in procession. The ⁂ is very frequently supported by it; ⁂. _Flight of stairs_, ⁂⁂. See Note 2 on Chapter 22. 10. _Ensign_, _i.e._, _insignis_, one who bears the distinguishing mark or sign of investiture ⁂⁂⁂⁂.[142] See Note 4 on Chapter 78. Osiris is here presented as the Sāhu of the gods whom he has called into existence. The Hymn of the Bibliothèque Nationale (line 7) calls him ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. Chnumhotep at Benihassan says of the king, ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, “he distinguished me above all his _nobles_,” that is the order of men bearing the sign of investiture. 11. _Take precedence_, ⁂⁂⁂. I take the word in the same sense as where it occurs (without the determinative of sound) in _Denkm._, III, 29a; in parallelism with ⁂⁂. 12. _Uaḳa_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂; in the older texts ⁂⁂⁂ (as in Pepi I, 98); one of the oldest festivals of the Egyptian calendar, kept on the 17th and 18th of the month Thoth. The Pyramid Text says “Behold, he cometh to thee as Orion (⁂⁂⁂[143]); behold Osiris cometh as Orion the _Lord of Wine_ (⁂⁂⁂, _vinosus_, full of wine), who cometh on the fair festival of _Uaḳa_.” _Uaḳa_, ⁂⁂⁂⁂ or ⁂⁂⁂⁂ is also one of the names given to the Nile. ----- Footnote 140: _Cf._ the Hymn to Osiris in the Bibl. Nationale, the Hymn of Tunrei (Mariette, _Mon. div._, pl. 57), and an inscription copied by Mariette from the temple of Ptah at Memphis (_Mon. div._, pl. 28 _e_). There are plenty others of the same kind.
