1. The Egyptian texts have two names for the Heart, ⁂ phonetically written ⁂⁂⁂ _ȧb_, and ⁂⁂ also written ⁂⁂⁂ and ⁂⁂⁂⁂ _ḥatu_.[43] The two words are commonly used synonymously, but they are sometimes pointedly distinguished one from the other. Etymologically ⁂⁂⁂ _ȧb_ is connected with the sense of lively motion ⁂⁂⁂ _ȧb_, like the Greek καρδία, κραδίη, (δία τὸ ἀπαύστως σαλεύεσθαι) with κραδάω and κραδαίνω. Other Indo-European names, our own _heart_, the Latin _cor_ (_cord-is_), the Sanskrit _hṛd_, and the corresponding Slavonic and Lithuanian names have the same origin. From the orthography of ⁂⁂ it seems to have been connected in popular opinion with its position in the anterior part of the body. And from various uses of the word it appears to denote not merely the heart, but the heart with all that is attached to it, especially the _lungs_ which embrace it. It is for instance to the ⁂⁂ that _air_ is conducted according to the medical Papyri. And it is not improbable that ⁂⁂⁂ and ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂, organs of respiration, are closely connected words. But perhaps the best argument may be found in the Vignettes of chapter 28, where the two lungs are actually drawn as in the hieratic papyrus (Pl. 2) published by Sir Charles Nicholson. In others (as Leyden, T. 16) even the larynx is visible. (See Plate X.) The Italian word _corata_ is immortalised through its occurrence in a memorable passage in Dante (_Inf._, XXVIII), but for want of a better English term than the butcher’s technical word _pluck_[44] I use the expression _whole heart_. 2. _But_, ⁂⁂⁂. This is the most frequent reading both in the earliest and in the latest papyri. But some texts have simply ⁂, which is certainly a mistake, and others omit the conjunction before the verb. The sense is not much affected by this omission. ⁂⁂⁂ signifies _if not_, _unless_, _until_, _but_, _but surely_. _Cf._ the Semitic אִם־לֹא, ܐܷܠܴ, إلَّا 3. _The mead of amaranthine flowers._ ⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂ _ḳaiu_ is the name of a plant which frequently occurs in the medical prescriptions. It is also mentioned among the aromatic plants (⁂⁂⁂⁂⁂) required in the sacred laboratory of Dendera. One of the kinds is named _ḳaiu_ of the Oasis ⁂⁂⁂. It is identified with the Coptic ⲕⲓⲟⲱⲩ, _amaranthus_. In several copies of this chapter the name of the plant is followed by the geographical determinative ⁂, which is really implied in the context. Was this mythological ‘mead of amaranth’ suggested by the Oasis and its vegetation? 4. This sentence is a repetition (in other words) of the preceding one. On the title _Erpā_, see _Trans. Soc. Bibl. Arch._, XII, 359. My chief difficulty about understanding it as compounded of ⁂ and ⁂, and signifying _keeper of the Pāt_, that is _of the deceased_ (human beings), is that Seb is essentially the _Erpā of the gods_. _Erpā_ is one of those titles which cannot be translated without perverting the sense of the original.
