a," a Mongol name, "father of conquest." "Arta Sumara"
appears to mean "destroying hero."
366 "Mitani" or Matiene (Herod, i. 72, 189, 202; iii. 94; v. 49, 52;
vii. 72) extended from the sources of the Araxes to the Halys River,
and thus included all Armenia west of Lake Van: other names for the
region were, the "Land of Khani Rabbe" (or Khani Rabbatu) and the
"Land of the Minyans." (See 27 B.)
367 The Hittites clearly did not live in Matiene, but in the adjacent
country of northern Syria.
368 "Gilukhipa," a Mongol name, "possessing glory."
369 "Gilia" and "Tunipripi," Mongol names, "glorious" and "very
reliable."
370 This may be dated late in the reign of Amenophis III, as Dusratta
survived him.
371 Possibly Queen Teie or Thi.
372 Amanu, the Egyptian god Amen.
373 The word "Khatanu" means any kinsman by marriage, and "emu" is still
used generally of any "kinsman" or even for "friend." Some have
translated "son-in-law" and "father-in-law," but the latter word
would be "khamu," not "emu." Dusratta was the father-in-law of
Amenophis IV, but brother-in-law of Amenophis III.
374 "Binti," not "Bintiya" ("my daughter"). The word "Bint" is still
used generally for "a young woman." Perhaps Queen Teie is intended.
375 "Targumanu" ("interpreter") is the modern "dragoman." Khani (see p.
201) was sent to Aziru, showing that the Canaanite rebellion may
have occurred in the reign of Amenophis III.
376 "Assat mariya elme," or perhaps "Assutti elme" ("in marriage to the
youth"). There is no statement that shows Dusratta's daughter to
have married Amenophis III. She married his son, and is called
"daughter-in-law" of Queen Teie (11 B. M.).
377 The gold came from Nubia and Abyssinia. (See Brugsch, "Hist. Egypt,"
i. pp. 287, 310.)
378 In Aramaic "Gilia," in the native tongue "Gilias," with the Mongol
termination of the nominative indefinite.
379 "Ikhibin," possibly Kaban Maden in Armenia.
380 "Si-migi-s" is apparently a Mongol title for some deity, "the eye of
night" (or "of sunset"), either the moon or the evening star.
381 "Khalci," either Chalcis near Aleppo, or the "Land of the Khal" or
"Phoenicians." (Karnak list, No. 140.)
382 The Minyans (Jer. li. 27; and in Ps. xlv. 8, Targum) lived west of
Lake Van. The Hyksos are called Men,
