132 THE MONUMENTS OF EGYPT. 4^yt;>, ndjat, Bos Sylvester, ^^c. Candida, j^_^:, na-inash^ Bos Sylvester, seu montanus, l:^,, wa-Jiash, Bos Sylvester, and ^^:^^j, ramat, Buculasylvestris foemella, are examples in point, thetwo former in the case of single oxen. Afifth name is simply ^ .-►, Mrm^ Bos. Wherethe oxen appear in groups, the nomencla-ture changes to the plural terms (^p^, jaf,Agmen et caterva pecorum*, 4_j,, raf^ Agmenpecorum boumve, j., waten^ obesa pecora. In allthese examples, it is important to add, the sig-nifications of the words were unknown to me,until I turned to the Arabic lexicon, and, in eachinstance, found that the word, when decypheredinto Arabic from the hieroglyphic alphabet, wasox, oxen, or wild ox. Less curious, but not lessconclusive, examples occur, where the ox appearsaccompanied by one or other of his ordinaryArabic names. Thus, in the zodiac of Tentyra,the word AJ, arachf, Bos sylvaticus, stands im-mediately under the bull in the celestial signTauru
