_i. e._ This is _the gracious god, the prince of Heliopolis, the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, the lord of the two countries_ [Egypt], _Thothmes III., who gives eternal life_. {53}[glyphs] SUTEN-KAUT (pronunciation doubtful!) "the king of Upper and Lower Egypt" is the official title of the Egyptian kings and conveys the same meaning as the [glyphs] NEB TAUI "_the lord of the two countries_" mentioned so frequently above. Another name of the king, and one that has been embodied into our language, is [glyphs] PER Â "_Pharaoh_", which is, literally translated, "_the great house_"; a title bearing the closest resemblance to the modern "Sublime Porte" of the Turkish sultan. Below the sphinx is the same inscription as on the East pyramidion: [glyphs] QA NEKHT KHÂ EM US SA RÂ MEN-KHEPER-RÂ "This is _the powerful_ and _glorious bull_ [king] _in Thebes, the Sun's offspring, Thothmes III_". The three columns above to the left refer to the god Tum, who is seated below, and read: du ânkh ded us Tum neb An Giving · life · stability · strength · Tum · lord of · Heliopolis · nuter nefer â neb en ha · t the god · gracious · great · lord · of · the temple. _i. e._ This is _Tum, the lord of Heliopolis, the gracious_ and _great god, the lord of_ his _temple, who gives life, stability_, and _strength_. The inscription between the god and the sphinx-king differs from that of the preceding pyramidions; it is: er du·t qebeh ar ef du ânkh For · a gift · libation · to make · him · give · life. _i. e._ The king _pours out a libation_ of water _in order to receive from him_ [the god] _life_. {54}North Face of the Pyramidion. [Illustration] The four columns above to the left refer to the sphinx-king and read: nuter nefer neb ar khet suten kaut? The god · gracious · lord · maker of · things · king of Upper and Lower neb taui Men-kheper-Râ du ânkh Egypt · lord (of ·the) two countries · Thothmes III. · giving · life · zeta forever. _i. e._ This is _the gracious god, the lord_ and _maker of everything, the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, the lord of the two countries_ [Egypt], _Thothmes III., who gives eternal life_. {55}The inscription below the sphinx is identical with the one on the East pyramidion; namely, [glyphs] [glyphs] QA NEKHT KHÂ EM US SA RÂ MEN-KHEPER-RÂ "This is _the powerful_ and _glorious bull_ [king] _in Thebes, the Sun's offspring, Thothmes III_". The three columns above to the right refer to the sun-god Râ seated below, and read: du ânkh ef neb Râ-Hor- khuti neb Giving · life · him · all · Râ-Horus in the horizon · lord (of · taui the) two countries. _i. e._ This is _Ra-Hor-khuti, the lord of the two countries_ [Egypt], _who gives him_ [the king] _all life_.
