Note 11 — LETTER V.

Joanna B. Horner translation

“Every Pharaoh was the Sun of Egypt, and over his name bore ‘Son of the Sun;’ and as the sun was Phra, so each king was called Phra. Each monarch by law inherited his father’s throne in lineal succession, so that the incumbent was Phra son of Phra.”—Gliddon’s Ancient Egypt, p. 32.—Tr.
