d god, Aqnunri, son of the Sun, Apopi, who
lives for ever, on the statues of Mirmashau, which he had
appropriated, and on the pink granite table of offerings in
the Gizeh Museum.

**** The name of Baal, transcribed Baalu, is found on that
of a certain Petebaalu, "the Gift of Baal," who must have
flourished in the time of the last shepherd-kings, or rather
under the Theban kings of the XVIIth dynasty, who were their
contemporaries, whose conclusions have been adopted by
Brugsch.

^ Sutikhu, Sutkhu, are lengthened forms of Sutu, or Situ;
and Chabas, who had at first denied the existence of the
final _Jehu_, afterwards himself supplied the philological
arguments which proved the correctness of the reading: he
rightly refused, however, to recognise in Sutikhu or Sutkhu
--the name of the conquerors' god--a transliteration of the
Phoenician Sydyk, and would only see in it that of the
nearest Egyptian deity. This view is now accepted as the
right one, and Sutkhu is regarded as the indigenous
equivalent of the great Asiatic god, elsewhere called Baal,
or supreme lord. [Professor Petrie found a scarab bearing
the cartouche of "Sutekh" Apepi I. at Koptos.--Te.]

He was usually represented as a fully armed warrior, wearing a helmet
of circular form, ornamented with two plumes; but he also borrowed
the emblematic animal of Sit, the fennec, and the winged griffin which
haunted the deserts of the Thebaid. His temples were erected in the
cities of the Delta, side by side with the sanctuaries of the feudal
gods, both at Bubastis and at Tanis. Tanis, now made the capital,
reopened its palaces, and acquired a fresh impetus from the royal
presence within its walls. Apophis Aq-nunri, one of its kings, dedicated
several tables of offerings in that city, and engraved his cartouches
upon the sphinxes and standing colossi of the Pharaohs of the XIIth and
XIIIth dynasties.

He was, however, honest enough to leave the inscriptions of his
predecessors intact, and not to appropriate to himself the credit of
works belonging to the Amenemhaits or to Mirmashau. Khiani, who is
possibly the Iannas of Manetho, was not, however, so easily satisfied.*
