He pulled down the temples erected by the disk-worshippers, and restored the name of Amenophis III. wherever it had been erased ; but on many of the w^alls of Thebes, and on other places, the restorations were never made.'* All these events however happened at least twelve centuries before our asra, and are therefore necessarily obscure. S. BIRCH. ■* I except entirely the supposed i?rt rtehma, Bunseii, 1. e., as this name which occurs at Eiephantina, Young's Hiero- glyphics, pi.
