_sq._; J. Garstang, _The Land of the Hittites_ (London, 1910), pp.
196 _sqq._ (Boghaz-Keui) 256 _sqq._ (Eyuk). Compare P. Jensen,
_Hittiter und Armenier_, pp. 165 _sqq._ In some notes with which my
colleague Professor J. Garstang has kindly furnished me he tells me
that the two animals wearing Hittite hats, which appear between the
great god and goddess in the outer sanctuary, are not bulls but
certainly goats; and he inclines to think that the two heaps on
which the priest stands in the outer sanctuary are fir-cones.
Professor Ed. Meyer holds that the costume which the priestly king
wears is that of the Sun-goddess, and that the corresponding figure
in the procession of males on the left-hand side of the outer
sanctuary does not represent the priestly king but the Sun-goddess
in person. “The attributes of the King,” he says (_op. cit._ p.
632), “are to be explained by the circumstance that he, as the
Hittite inscriptions prove, passed for an incarnation of the Sun,
who with the Hittites was a female divinity; the temple of the Sun
is therefore his emblem.” As to the title of “the Sun” bestowed on
Hittite kings in inscriptions, see H. Winckler, “Vorläufige
Nachrichten über die Ausgrabungen in Boghaz-köi im Sommer 1907,”
_Mitteilungen der Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft zu Berlin_, No. 35,
December 1907, pp. 32, 33, 36, 44, 45, 53. The correct form of the
national name appears to be Chatti or Hatti rather than Hittites,
which is the Hebrew form (חתי) of the name. Compare M. Jastrow, in
_Encyclopaedia Biblica_, ii. coll. 2094 _sqq._, _s.v._ “Hittites.”
