Reading edition

[Bunsen in Egypt’s Place in Universal History, vol. i. p. 430, refers them all to Osiris, and ranges them thus:—1. The Genius with the Hawkhead, Kebhsen u.f. signifying “the refresher of his brothers.” 2. The Jackal-head Tua-mutf, “the adorer of his mother.” 3. The Apehead, Hepi (Apis) “Osiris the devoted.” 4. Amset, God, “Osiris the devoted.” The different arrangement of Lepsius is caused by his counting from right to left, while Bunsen begins from left to right.—K. R. H. M.]
