Walter Armstrong translation
Upon the significance of the sphinx and its different varieties, see Wilkinson, Manners and Customs, etc. vol. iii. pp. 308-312. Wilkinson brings together on a single plate (vol. ii. p. 93) all the fantastic animals invented by the Egyptians. See also Maspero, Mémoire sur la Mosaïque de Palestrine (Gazette Archéologique, 1879).
