To signify an Horoscopus [observer of the hours], they delineate a MAN EATING THE HOURS, not that the man eats the hours, for that is impossible, but because food is prepared for men according to the hours.

To denote a thing unlawful, or an abomination, they delineate a FISH, because the feeding upon fish is considered in the sacred rites as abominable, and a pollution: for every fish is an animal that is a desolator [laxative as food?], and a devourer of its own species.

To represent the mouth they depict a SERPENT, because the serpent is powerful in no other of its members except the mouth alone.

To denote manliness combined with temperance, they

p. 67

delineate a BULL that has a vigorous constitution. Calidissimum enim est huic animali membrum, ita ut semel eo in fœminæ vulvam immisso, vel absque ullo motu semen effutiat. Quod si quando a vulvâ vaccæ aberrans, in alium corporis partem membrum intenderit, tum ejus immodicâ intentione vaccani vulnerat. Quin et temperans est: quippe cum nunquam post conceptum, vaccam ineat.

66:1

I. The commencement of numerous dedicatory inscriptions, generally interpreted "Sacred."—Sh. 309, 311. Does it signify things, or a tablet to "set up to, or in honour of?"

II. KHEM, one of the principal divinities, the god of generation, his emblem was the bull.

III. Powerful. Compare the translation of the obelisk of Hermapion, Anc. Fr. p. 169, with the square banners of the kings.
