“On page 234.–The ‘serpent’ of the boundary stone was originally the
Milky Way. The other symbols are animals of the Zodiac.
“On page 235 (note 3).–Compare, also, Hommel, _Babylonische Ursprung der
Ægypt. Kultur_ (fight of Merodach with the serpent=fight of Rê ‘with
ʿApep’).
“On page 238.–_Nekhushtân_, the name the serpent of Moses, is derived
from נחשת, ‘_vulva_,’ or, at all events, is related to this word.”

Transcriber’s Note:
Minor errors or inconsistencies of punctuation or formatting have been
corrected silently. There were a number of occasions where quotation
marks were not balanced. Where possible the cited source has been
consulted. It was not always possible to surmise the scope of quoted
material, in which case it is noted below, but unchanged in the text.
In at least one case, on p. 125, the quotation from Ármin Vámbéry’s
_Travels in Central Asia_ (see note 361) was incorrectly marked.
Quotation marks have been added in order to properly denote those
portions which directly follow the source.
In the scriptural index, on p. 303, the entries for 1 Timothy are
corrupt, with the chapter appearing at the end of the entry, rather than
at the beginning:
------------------
1 TIMOTHY.
: 14 854
: 7 1146
------------------
These have been corrected as
1 TIMOTHY.
4 : 14 85
6 : 7 114
------------------
This table summarizes the corrections specifically to the Topical Index,
which on occasion has entries which are spelled differently in the text
itself, or are otherwise faulty. To facilitate searches, it is assumed
that the text is correct, and the entries were changed. The sole
exception is the transliteration of the Greek word προναιοι, which is
given in the text on p. 154 as _pronaoi_, but correctly in the index as
_pronaioi_ (vestibule). In this case, the text has been corrected.
Entry Correction/Comment
Altar: _lèlè_, name for accents reversed from the text
(“lélé”).
Ashurnâsira[f]i Ashurnâsira[p]li on both
referenced pages.
Avai[t]a Avai[k]a
Bay[e]t-el-Walli Bayt-el-Walli
Boundary: references to, may be p. 17 or p. 117. In any
case, neither page seems to
have a relevant remark.
