Note 1 — Chapter CV
P. Le Page (Peter Le Page) Renouf translation
Propitiate, . The simple root ḥetep signifies, what is implied by the ideographic sign , the taking hold, embracing, and kindred notions (Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch., Vol. X, p. 578). The notion of appeasing an angry personage is no more necessarily involved in the Egyptian word than in the Latin propitiare. M. Léfebure’s translation, réunir, in the title of this chapter is perfectly correct as far as it goes.
