PLATE XXXII.

HISTORICAL SCARABS OF AMENHETEP III.

1. KIRGIPA AND HER HARÎM.

Two specimens of this scarab are known, and it is perhaps the most interesting one of the series. One example is preserved in the Berl. Mus. (11002), the other was in the possession of Madame Hoffmann. An elaborate study of the text of the latter example has been published by Brugsch in the _Ä.Z._, XVIII, 81, and Maspero has given a drawing of the inscription (by Legrain, from a paper impression) in his _Recueil des Travaux_, XV, 200. The text given in the Plate is from the Berlin specimen, restored from Maspero’s published copy.

2. THE LION HUNTS OF AMENHETEP III.

Scarabs bearing an inscription recording the lion hunts of Amenhetep III are common, and about forty specimens are known. Of these, five are in the British Museum (4095, 12520, 16987, 24169, 29438); four are in the Louvre (Inv., 787, 788); four in the Berlin Museum (3481, 3482, 8443, 13274); three in the Leyden Museum (O. 83-85); and one each in the Cairo (M., _Cat. Ab._, 1388), Florence (840), and Bologna (2455) Museums. In the Cat. des Med., Paris (1021), and in the Amherst, Edwards, Fraser (_Sc._ 261), Grant, Hertz (_Cat._, p. 112), Kennard, Myers, Meux (1785), Palin, Petrie, Posno, H-Price (_Cat._ 284), and several smaller collections, are also one each. The example figured is in the possession of Mr. Nash. The hieroglyphic text of this scarab has been published, among others, by Mariette (_Alb. de Boulaq_, Pl. 36, 532), Maspero (_Histoire_, II, p. 315), Brugsch (_Ä.Z._, XVIII, 81), and Budge (_Mummy_, p. 241), and a translation of it has been given by Pierret (_Cat. Salle Hist._, Louvre, 1877, p. 138), by Birch (_Records of the Past_, XII, p. 40), and many others.

HISTORICAL SCARABS OF AMENHETEP III—(_continued_).

1. THE WILD CATTLE HUNT.

Two specimens of this scarab are known, and both are in the MacGregor Collection at Tamworth. The text of one of these, together with a rough translation, has been published by Fraser in the _P.S.B.A._, XXI, 156, and a good photographic facsimile of it has been given by the same collector in the _Catalogue_ of his Scarab Collection (Frontispiece, and p. 56). The text given in Pl. #XXXIII"pl-XXXIII#, 1, is from a copy made by the writer at Tamworth of the example published by Fraser, and some restorations have been added from the inscription on the second specimen.

2. THE LAKE AT ZARUKHA.

Three specimens of this scarab are known; one is in the Egyptian Museum of the Vatican at Rome; another is in the Golenischeff Collection, and the third is in the possesion of the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick Castle. A fragment of a fourth example is in the Petrie Collection. The Vatican scarab was first published by Rosellini (Mon. St., Pl. 44, 2, cf. Vol. III, pt. 1, pp. 263-268), and again by Stern in 1878 (_Ä.Z._, 1877, p. 87). A translation of this text was made by Birch, and published by him in the _Records of the Past_ (Vol. XII, p. 41). The text given here is that on the Alnwick Museum specimen.[134]
