Footnotes

62:1

I. The figure, which appears to be some spotted skin upon a pole, is commonly placed beside Osiris or Thoth in the judgment of the dead, in which Anubis or the Dog is also concerned. It may be some coarse garment, but it is evidently the panther skin of the Greek Dionysus, the counter-part of Osiris.

II. Osiris as judge of the dead; another forth of Khem.

62:2 Qy. ὀσφραινόμενοι, the robe bearer, who was one of the officers of the procession. See the illustration of these chapters from Clemens, in the plate and note at the end.

62:3 Qy. Ἄρχοντα, An archon or minister of state.

63:1 Very obscure—Treb. reads nudæ figuræ appositam, placed on a naked figure.—Mer. and De Pauw. suggest σχήματι γύμνῳ—Caus. καὶ σχῆμα γυμνόν. It seems to have been the hide of some beast worn next the skin by the King, (as Dionysus and Hercules are represented,) sod, according to Mr. Wilkinson, by the priests of a certain grade.—See his Ancient Egypt.
