 REMARKABLE 0I5JECT OF THE REIGN OF AMENol'IIlS 111. Id] the pedestal of a colossal statue at Paris, the feet of which are the only part of the figure remaining, is an inscription, containing the name and titles of Amenophis, and round the pedestal are the names of twenty-three Negritic prisoners, who have a cord passing round their necks which ties them to the symbol of dominion,"* they are — 1. (The lands of the South). 2. The Phut. 3. The Vile Cush (Kish-chasa). 4. The Taruat, or Taluat.' 5. The Akaiat.*"' (]. The I'.aru, or Baku' 7. The Vile Cush. 8. The Aruka, or Aluka." 9.

Pamaika.' 20. Uaruki, or Ualuki. 21. Pamauia.^ 22. Pafaikiu.^ 23. Pa-ru (or lu) maku. The difficulty of knowing whether these names are placed in arbitrary, or geographical order, prevents following out their relative distance from Egypt ; and although some may name, which appeal's in all the Ethnic tables, is uncertain. I give it this phonetic value from the passage, Champollion, Not. descr. p. 90. The word sha, the harpoon and hand, generally means " first" (Bunsen Eg. PI. 588) but it may be used for " crowd, heap." See note 59. De Rouge, Memoire, p. 1 28, reads " one." Rouge, Notices des Monumens au Mus5e du Louvre, 8vo., Paris, 1849, p. 4, No. 18. N.H.,lib. vi.,c. xxix, 34. Gentis Troglody- tarum idem Juba tradit Thcrofhoas a venatu dictos, miris velocitatis. Here is the fact of the 'Iroglodytte being called Therothose. The varia; lectiones. Sillig. 1. c, p. 464, give Torotcas, Herotoas, Therotheras. '' A tablet at Kouban or Contra- Pselcis, Prisse Mon. Egypt., pi. xxi., dated in the 3rd year of Kameses IL, records the making of a well, to supply the asses and miners who worked at the gold mines of Akaiat, many having perished of thirst in crossing the desert. ' Probably the same as Barabara, Ber- bers, or Btirhari. Cf. Rosellini, M. R., Ixi. Wilkinson, M. 11., viii. Wilkinson, 1. c., possibly the Erchoas. 'J Perhaps Magas. Pliny, N. H., lib. vi., e. xxix., 8. 35. MufjasacOK, probably a compoimd word, the new city of Magas. one reading gives Magase (Magaseu) ; Pliny also gives another place, named Mufjassa, or Mor/usa. ^ Probably the Macada'jala of Plinv, I.e. - There apj)eai's to have been an ancient Saba in yEthiopia, as Josei)hus, Antiq., i., c. 6., makes ihe Queen of Sheba come from hence ; Pliny, N. H, 1. c, gives Suea, and as the hieroglyphic i? or F ia almost a vowel, it much resembles this place. ■^ Cf. the names Leupitorga and Liii- thima, 1. c. Tar, Bar, or Ttl, in the JSthioj)ie names. ■' Or Sliaai'ushek. Arclueologia and M. De Rouge, 1. c. ; resembles the Shilugi. " Name like that of the Agonus ; a river of yEthiopia. Iksychius. ' The following names beginning with Pa, which may be the Egyptian demon- strative article masculine, may indicale the tribe Maika,&c., like the Leontophagi, &c. Several names in I'liny's list begin with Pa, — as Pa-tiga,Pa-renUi, Pa-goarea. Pliny, 1. c. " I read this name in A/n^-oiZ-n, Archsc- ologia, xxxi., p. 490 ; and Pa ija mnkcu, Gliddon, Otia Aegyptiaca, 8vo. I^ondon, 1847, p. 144. DeRougr's Noti.e, I. c, reads Pa inaktm. That the nestling binl had the value of <1A, s«.e Bunseu, Egypt*. Place, 569-8 ; but it is also /ui.
