There are, it is true, variants in the title of Chapter 17, giving the form ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂. In spite of the excellent authority of these variants, they must be considered as giving an erroneous reading. The words ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ ‘remember,’ and ⁂⁂⁂ are different in origin and meaning. The latter signifies ‘confer glory,’ and the ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ are religious formularies recited by priests, identifying the deceased person with Osiris and other divinities. There are numerous pictures in the tombs representing priests performing this office.[6] 3. M. Déveria has produced excellent evidence showing that ⁂ _maāt-ḫeru_ has the sense of ‘victorious, triumphant.’ But the sense of _véridique_ is untenable. ⁂⁂⁂ _ḫeru_ is ‘voice’ not ‘speech.’ In _Proceedings S.B.A._, Vol. VI, p. 192, note, I have quoted a passage from a chapter (now numbered 181 in M. Naville’s edition) in which ⁂⁂⁂⁂ signifies ‘want of success, failure.’ ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _maāt ḫeru_ really signifies “one whose voice is Law.” It is essentially a _divine_ title (see “Altar at Turin,” _Transactions_, III, pl. II, _line_ 10, appended to Mr. Bonomi’s article), and in _no_ Egyptian text is it used of mortals supposed to be living. The translation “juste de voix,” limits the conception of _maāt_ to _one_ of its secondary acceptations. ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _semaāt ḫeru_ is also, and necessarily so, a divine act, that of Thoth; and it is done through his utterances. 4. ⁂ _ȧn_ in this place as in very many others is not a preposition, _still less is it a verb_. It is a demonstrative particle, like the Latin _en_, _ecce_, or the Hebrew הֵו. Nothing is more common than this particle followed only by a proper name, _e.g._, on the funereal figures. There is not the slightest reason for supposing that there is an ellipse of the verb ‘saith.’ The particle is used like the corresponding Latin one under the Scottish picture of Edward I— ‘En rex Edwardus debacchans ut leopardus.’ When I translate ⁂⁂⁂ ⁂⁂⁂, “It is Thoth—who is here,” I do not wish to imply that ⁂⁂ is the verb _to be_, any more than I should in the frequent expression ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ “It is his son who revives his name.” ⁂ is a demonstrative particle and nothing else. Instead of looking out for moods and tenses and paradigms, Egyptologists ought to wake to the consciousness that the Egyptians never rose to the conception of what we mean by a _verb_. 5. The Bull of Amenta is Osiris. Bull, like Lion or Hawk, was one of the figurative names of gods or kings, and Osiris is sometimes represented with a Bull’s head.
