REMARKABLE OBJECT OF THE UEKiN OF AMENOrillS 111. lO.'J (No. 21), Ka-ka-tca (No. 17), mid* the Sharii. or Svriaiis (No. 34). Uncertain from their reading and condition are such names — Ilakina (No. 1), Na-ru-ruk (No. 2), Mutenpn (No. i)), Sent or Stina (No. 13), Aaru (No. 15), A . . . rer (No. 1.9)^ Taita . . .

Many of these names may never have reached the Greek geographers; the political changes of Central Asia and ^Ethiopia having doubtless been as great as those of Europe, and many old sites and names having entirely disappeared. The names of the seventeen prisoners on the ])asc of the column of the Amenopheum, at Luxor, which unfortunately have not been published, would have helped to complete the list of the conquests. The twelve names found at Elephantina are unfortunately still more mutilated and ill-copied than those of Soleb ; ^ and it is equally uncertain whether they are of Asiatics or Negroes. They are— 1. Stouenash ; 2. . . . souri ; 3. N .... a ; 4. . . nru . . ]• ; 5. . . rutar ; 6. . . . rutash ; 7. 8hap . . . ; 8. Mutkaru ; 9. Rukar ; 10 ua ; 11 ; 12 ru. Three other names have also been published, but without indicating where they have been taken from, — they are Ishipiaro, Ragata^ (already found at Soleb), and Nebenpetu. On the route of the road, between Phil;x3 and 8yene, he is represented conquering Asiatics.^ The public works through- out Egypt and Nubia appear to have been continued during his reign, and the monarch, who was a zealous worshij)per of the Theban deities, founded and built the greater portion of the edifice of Luxor,^ and the caryatid figures in black granite of the goddess Pasht, the Spliiiixcs, and the two celebrated colossi, one the so-called Vocal Memnon, "• For the reasons for believing these to vcn.
