[408] This is an inference from the omission of the feet; actually the
legs come to an end upon the head of the lower figure.

[421] Professor Sayce does not agree with Professor Ramsay’s
interpretation, which we adopt in lack of an alternative explanation, and
especially in view of the parallels afforded by the sculptures of Eyuk
(Pl. LXXIII. (i)) and of Sakje-Geuzi (Pl. LXXXI.).
[422] Professor Ramsay (_op. cit._, p. 160) reproduces the name as
Tarkuattes; but the form given by Professor Sayce (_S.B.A._ _loc.
cit._, p. 84) corresponds closely with the name of a Hittite leader,
_Targannas_, recorded by Rameses II.
[423] The sign is ideographic, and the reading Sandes (or Sandon) is
corroborated in various ways. The same sign seems to denote the storm-god
(the Babylonian Hadad, and Tessup of the Mitanni) on the Hittite monument
found at Babylon (Sayce, _Proc. S.B.A._, 1904, p. 306). Dr. Winckler,
however, in discussing the archives of Boghaz-Keui, believes that Tessup
was the name of the national Hittite deity. See also p. 358.
[424] Below, Pl. LXV. and p. 237. Notice also the altar on the Pass of
Kuru-Bel, above, p. 147.
[425] Cf. pp. 129, 232. Among the Hatti, it appears from the archives of
Boghaz-Keui, the King was called the Sun-God. Winckler, _Mitteil. der D.
Orient-Ges._, No. 35, Dec. 1907.
[426] In this conclusion we differ somewhat from Professor Sayce, and
agree partly with Professor Ramsay. Our argument, however, is only based
on somewhat distant analogies. Cf. also Ramsay in the _Recueil_, etc.,
xiv. pp. 74 ff. on the priestly office.
